Brandeis Classes to Start Oct. 14 First Nonsectarian `11' Headed 1) ■ Jews By DR. A. L. SACIIAR UNIVERSITY, the first Jewish-sponsored cOedu- catioral, nonsectarian institution of higher learning, will open its •doors to the first freshman class of over 100 on Thursday, Oct 14, thus bringing a dream of years into reality. The school, located at Wal- tham, Mass., has a campus of 100 acres and eight major build- ings. During the past six months, a modernization program has been under way, converting the buildings into dormitories for the men, and women, apartments for faculty, class rooms, and la- boratories. In addition, the library is be- ing expanded to accommodate 30,000 volumes.
