NNIVER SARI( CELEBRATION
A University

With A Mission

Dr. Lookstein

Bar-Ilan University comb-ines two traditions.. As a university, it nat-
urally follows the. pattern of institutions of higher learning as this pattern
has been developed in our western culture. It is, therefore, an academic
enterprise designed to impart knowledge and to encourage research in the
liberal arts and sciences.

But Bar-Ilan is in addition rooted in the Jewish tradition and draws
its inspiration from it. It therefore- offers its students a comprehensive pro-
gram of JUdaic studies. The religious culture of the Jewish people is studied
not merely as an academic discipline but as the histork way of the Jewish
people which still has validity for our day.

•

Bar-Ilan University, therefore, is committed to a four-fold mission.
It seeks to promote higher education in the liberal arts and •sciencas, It
seeks further to integrate that education with the • spiritual traditions of
Israel. It is anxious to provide for the intellectual and professional needs
of the Jewish. State in which it is located. It is, finally, eager to establish a
cultural bridge between the Jewries of the world and the Jewish homeland.

MESSAGE FROM ISRAEL'S PRIME MINISTER
MR. LEVI ESHKOL

BAR-ILAN UNIVERSITY

Government, but last year one of the highest accrediting bodies in the world
the Board of Regents of the State of New York — after prolonged investi-
ation of the records of faculty, students and curricula, granted a Charter
Bar-Ilan which ensured that its degrees would be recognized the world
'over.

Congratulations on the occasion of Bar-Ilan's Tenth AnniversarY.
The University has made an important contribution in combining
modern studies and tradition. As you well know, education will
determine Israel's future. The three thousand five hundred stu-
dents that have studied at Bar-Ilan have enriched Israel and the
Jewish people. As Israel's population grows and the need to meet
the scientific challenges of the future increases, let us hope that,
at the twentieth • anniversary, this number will be more than
doubled.
