JERUSALEM — Reconstruction
work on the Ratnoff Building is due
to be completed by the end of this
month when a further 140 students
will move into the building, joining
the 80 who have occupied the top
floor since November, the first to
take up permanent residence on the
campus. Building has also begun on
12 student dormitories, the first
stage in the overall plan for a
Student and Graduate Residence
Center to rise on Mt. Scopus within
the near future. Each of the two-
winger buildings will house 120 stu-
dents, with the first scheduled for
completion in 16 months and the
others following at intervals of
three months each.
Now, a total of 800 students live
in the asbestos huts built on the
lower slopes of the hillside. A co-
operative grocery store and a club-
house round out the residential
amenities.
As planning and construction of
the permanent campus buildings
gets under way, development work
is also proceeding apace. This in-
cludes roads and a central-heating
unit to be located near the Ratnoff
Building.

No longer they—but we.
This blessed land offers its love.
The love of many millions,
Now two,
Now six.
Its memories are true.
"How goodly are thy tents,
O Jacob, Thy dwelling places,
O Israel."
And thus in spite of history—
And thus because of history
Dignity is reborn.
An Israeli is born.
