The Detroit Dormitory, erected
by the Hebrew University -with
funds ($250,000) raised over a
period of years by Friends of the
Hebrew University in Detroit, is
designed to house 56 students. The
students are now moving into their
new quarters for the 1965-66 aca-
demic year.
It is a handsome, 2 1/2-story
building of reinforced concrete
and covered with light-colored
Jerusalem stone and polished lime-
stone. Standing in the outskirts of
the campus, the dormitory over-
looks the North American section
of the university's botanical gar-
dens.
The structure has a foyer, social
rooms and other facilities. Each
room has large desks, bookshelves
and a small refrigerator for each
of the two students in a room.
Later, a 17,000-seat Jewish
National and University Stadium
was dedicated to Charles Gros-
berg, also of Detroit, in honor of
his 80th birthday. Grosberg was
unable to attend because he was
recovering from an accident suf-
fered in Rome.
The stadium, built to olympic
standards, serves for track and
field - events. The Asian Cup soc-
cer finals were held in the sta-
dium. Irwin I. Cohn, honorary
chairman of the Detroit Allied
Jewish Campaign, addressed a
meeting of the study mission in
the stadium, as did Albert Park

New York.

school is a project of the UJA-
Israel Education Fund.
While in Rome, the group
learned that the Italian govern-
ment has awarded the order of
the Commenda Della Republica

tribution Committee, in recogni-
tion of the JDC relief work and
Warburg's personal dedication
to justice, progress and human-
ity.
Giuseppe Lupis, Italian under-
secretary of the ministry of for-
eign affairs, said the insignia of
the order will be presented to
Warburg by the Italian ambassa-
dor in Washington.
The announcement was made at
a dinner tendered to the Ameri-
