Banquet to Honor Detroit's Pioneering Role in
University-Building; Romney Gets Fellowship

Israel's acclaim of the Detroit
Jewish community's major and
pioneering role in the establish-
ment and maintenance of Bar-Ilan
University will be echoed at the
annual dinner of Detroit Friends
of Bar-Ilan University, to be held
6:30 p.m., Nov. 30, at Cobo Hall.
Detroiters—more especially Mr.
and Mrs. Max Stollman and Phillip
Stollman, were honored, for their
roles, and Frieda (Mrs. Max) Stoll-
man was awarded an Honorary
Bar-Ilan Fellowship, a rare and
distinct honor for a woman in the
history of Israel's higher educa-
tional activities.

At the Nov. 30 banquet, Gov-
ernor George Romney will be
presented with an Honorary Bar-
Ilan Fellowship by Dr. Joseph
H. Lookstein, Bar-Ban's presi-
dent. Rabbi Morris Adler will be
the speaker of the evening.

Phillip Stollman echoed the en-
thusiasm that is being displayed
here by the banquet planners and
expressed confidence that more
than a thousand people will par-
ticipate in the annual event. Din-
ner reservations still are being
accepted. They can be made by
calling the Bar-Ilan office, DI
1-0708.
At the banquet in Tel-Aviv, at
the Sheraton Hotel, at which the
Bar-Ilan 10th anniversary was
celebrated, Israel's President Zal-
man S h a z a r, Chief Rabbi Issar
Unterman of Israel, Israel Min-
ister of Interior Moshe Haim Sha-
piro and Detroit representatives
were the speakers.

The Stollman family was hon-
ored among the founders of the
university. Irwin I. Cohen par-
ticipated in hooding Mrs. Stoll-
man upon her receiving the
Honorary Fellowship. She was
acclaimed as "the first lady of
Bar-Ran."
In his impressive address ac-

claiming Bar-Ilan's role among Is-
rael's great institutions of learn-
ing, President Shazar said in his
banquet address:
"We now have several universi-
ties—but at one time we had only
one university, and we thought
that Jerusalem was the only site
for a university and that we should
not need more in other cities. We
shall have only one university, we
thought. I think that in recent
years we have learned that the
saying 'Bring the exile to the seat
of the Torah' is not always ap-
plicable, and that it is sometimes
necessary to bring the Torah to
the home of the student, to his
town, his place. The Torah must
court its students rather than their
being exiled to the place of the
Torah. Here in Israel, this is even
more essential with the population
scattered throughout the length
and breadth of the country. I have
just come from another institution
which, though not opened yet, has
had the cornerstone laid for it:
that is—Haifa University. And I
think it one of the great days in
my life when I had the honor to
give my blessings to the opening
of Tel Aviv University. And I
think that the actual existence of
this increasing number of universi-
ties is an indication of our develop-
ment, our increasing prosperity,

our ability to meet the spiritual
requirements of the State.
"However, not all the universi-
ties are like Bar-Ilan University:
it is unique and exceptional. Even
if there had been no decision—
and it was not a formal decision
—but even if we had not known
of the possibility of building sev-
eral universities at different sites;
even if each university could not
be set up wherever it chose—even
then I would still make it a special
point to come to you to give my
blessings. Where Bar-Ilan is con-
cerned, this is a very special case.
This is a unique experiment, and
no one among us knows as yet how
things will develop: but this is
a special experiment which I would

not like to have compared to any
other: it is not the same as a
Catholic or a Protestant university;
and it is at the same time not
a general university either.
"Here we have a genuine and
unique attempt to combine science
with faith: to combine religion and
religious knowledge with general
knowledge and learning. Blessed
is the man who has achieved such
a combination, who harbors equal
respect for both in his heart, who
knows how to lecture and to teach
and to educate in this way—to be
wise in his thinking, a free re-
searcher and at the same time to
have a profound faith, to be a man
of deep faith. Whosoever achieves
that is blessed."

UNITED NATIONS — Fouad
Ammoun, former minister of for-
eign affairs of Lebanon, was
elected here Tuesday to fill the
vacancy on the nine-member Inter-
national Court of Justice created
three months ago by the death
of another Arab member of the
court, Judge Abdel Hamid Badawi
of Egypt.
The Security Council, which in
accordance with the procedures in
this case had to approve Ammoun's
candidacy, first elected him by a
vote of 11-0. A few minutes later,
the General Assembly elected him
by a vote of 100 out of the 106
members present. Six members of
the Assembly voted for Sturer
Petren of Sweden.

Present will be such congrega-
tional leaders as Rabbi Seymour
M. Panitz of Cong. Ahavas Achim;
The Rev. Mr. E. Robert Pickera,
pastor of the Outer Drive Com-
munity Church, who will attend
with a number of church trustees;
and Rev. R. H. Boyce, pastor of
Greenfield Methodist Church, who
will be joined by representatives
of his congregation.
The public is invited to attend.
