Half-Gods Go," Dr. Kingdon re-
ceived the honorary degree of
LL. D. from Ohio State Univer-
sity. Formerly minister of the
Methodist Central Church of
Lansing, his D. D. degree was con-
ferred upon him by Albion Col-
lege.
In 1934, Dr. Kingdon resigned
from the pastorate to accept the
appointment as president of Dana
College, Newark, which was later
merged with the university.
Since taking up residence in
the East, in addition to his other
activities, he has been actively as-
sociated with the Board of For-
eign Missions, the New Jersey
Citizens League, the New Jersey
Conference of Social Work and
the New Jersey Joint Council in
International Relations.
to Agencies to Report
In addition to hearing Dr. King-
don, an opportunity to review the
work accomplished by the Jewish
Welfare Federation, through its
local, national and overseas agen-
cies, will be presented to Detroit's
Jewish community, at the annual
meeting on Sunday evening.
The Federation is the central
body for three groups of organ-
izations: local Jewish agencies sup-
ported in whole or in part by the
Detroit Community Fund; local
Jewish agencies supported by the
Allied Jewish Campaign; and the
regional, national and overseas
agencies depending upon the Al-
lied Jewish Campaign for sup-
port. Through the Federation, and
its fund-raising arm, the Detroit
Service Group, monies are raised
and allocated to the various or-
ganizations within the local com-
munal structure, as well as to the
national and overseas agencies.
Reports at the meeting will be
made by the constituent Federa-
tion agencies which are benefic-
iaries of the Detroit Community
Fund, namely, the Fresh Air So-
ciety, the Hebrew Free Loan As-
sociation, the Jewish Child Place-
ment Bureau, the Jewish Chil-
dren's Home, North End Clinic,
the Jewish Community Center and
the Jewish Social Service Bureau.
Several of these agencies receive
supplementary support from the
Allied Jewish Campaign in ad-
