Bible scholars. His "Amos Stu-
dies" volumes are regarded as of
fundamental importance for the
understanding of the life, times and
impact of the g r e a t Hebrew
prophet.
Born in the small Illinois ham-
let of St. Francisville, he entered
the college in 1894. Ordained eight
years later, he studied semitics at
Berlin and Heidelberg, where he
was awarded his PhD degree sum-
ma cum laude -in 1904. Returning
to this country, he became rabbi
of Temple Israel, Lafayette, Ind.,
serving from 1904 to 1907, when he
was recalled to the college to serve
as a faculty member, the second
alumnus to receive such an invita-
tion. In 1921, after 14 years on the
faculty, he was named president.
Many of the school's present de-
partments, publications and institu-
tions were inaugurated during his
administration.
Friends and former students of
Dr. Morgenstern traveled to Ma-
con, Ga., where Dr. Morgenstern
lives in retirement devoting all his
time to study and writing, to pay
tribute to the revered scholar and
teacher. "The board of governors
of Hebrew Union College-Jewish
Institute of Religion presented a
citation to Dr. Morgenstern.
