Literature at the University of
Illinois from 1908 until his death
in 1940. Though a loyal member
of the Pilgrim Foundation, he was
deeply consecrated because his
Jewish students seemed to know
so little about the Bible which
their own people had created. For
years he pleaded with rabbinical
and lay leaders in Illinois to be
less concerned with the problems
of anti-Semitism and discrimina-
tion, and to turn to the ultimate-
ly more serious problem of the
weakening in the loyalty of a
whole generation of young people
who are moving out of Jewish life
in a terrifying hemorrhage.
"In 1921 a young student from
the Hebrew Union College began
to visit the ChampaignUrbana
community, his biweekly congre-
gational assignment. Here he saw
at first hand the aimlessness and
the lack of leadership of the
growing student body. He heard
the pleas of Dr. Baldwin and of
a number of far-sighted Jewish
townspeople who were groping for
some technique to bring students
closer to Jewish life. Upon his
ordination as rabbi, in 1923, young
Frankel determined to accept the
little student community as his
rabbinical charge even though
there was no assurance of finan-
cial support.
"The first year of the new Hil-
lel Foundation was a harried
one; the funds for salary, admin-
istration, rent and maintenance
had to be won by convincing in-
dividuals that here was a practi-
cal and useful service. Dr. Louis
Mann of Sinai Temple in Chicago
was of greatest help here in per-
suading some of his friends, not-
ably Julius Rosenwald, that the
Foundation was an experiment
which might well solve a growing
Jewish problem. After a year of
pioneering at Illinois with a to-
tally new student technique, Rab-
bi Frankel succeeded in convinc-
ing Bnai Brith that in its widen-
ing program of service to the
Jewish community the sponsorship
of the Foundation had a natural
place. From then on, with finances
on a comparatively secure and
responsible basis, the expansion
of Hillel was assured.
"The name of Hillel is now
part of the American university
tradition, and on more than 76
campuses, in association with the
names of Wesley and Newman.
it helps integrate the spiritual
values of the historic religious
with the life of the university.
"But perhaps the clearest proof
of the compatibility of the Hillel
technique with the American uni-
versity tradition comes in tributes
from the outstanding university
presidents and administrative of-
ficers. In every instance there
has been hearty indorsement, as
very warm commendation have
come in from every campus where
Hillel functions.
"The efficacy of a Hillel unit
is usually measured publicly by
its organized activities.. Yet the
quiet personal influences of the
director or counselor may be fully
as substantial. The Hillel repre-
sentative is the friend of the Jew-
ish students. Many of them come
to him with problems that are
usual during the transition period
of college days. The director must
be a rabbi, social worker and
vocational counselor. Hillel, in this
respect, is truly "the home away
from home."
In this short article we are
unable to enumerate the many
functions of a Hillel Foundation,
its religious observances and year
round program, lecture forums,
study courses, social gatherings,
refugee program, inter-faith rela-
tions, good will programs, estab-
lished inter-faith memorial fellow-
ships, personal service, career
guidance and added functions to
tie into Bnai Brith' War Service
program. Subsequent articles will
deal with other phases of Bnai
Brith activity such as Anti-De-
famation League, A. Z. A., Vo-
cational Guidance and War Serv-
ice.
