Dr. Bonner, an historian and academic adminis- trator, left the presidency of Union College in Schenec- tady, N.Y., to become WSU's president Aug. 1. There were more than 600 persons represent- ing faculty, students, vis- iting academicians and community at the inau- guration at Ford Au- ditorium. More than 900 attended the inaugural luncheon at the Plaza Hotel. Dr. David Henry, as guest luncheon speaker, was enthusiastic over the de- velopments of the univer- sity he had served as president. He was in his youth again, greeting former associates and friends. Dr. Henry, who served as the third president of WSU from 1945 to 1952, said, "In the growth of enrollments in our nation from hundreds to millions, an expansion of educational opportunity would not have been possi- ble, if our urban univer- sities had not been able to WSU's Dr. Stern Is Named to Leo Baeck Institute in NY Wayne State University Vice President and Provost Dr. Guy Stern has been named to the executive committee of the Leo Baeck Institute of New York. Stern, who assumed his duties at WSU on Oct. 15, has previously served on the board of the institute and was also a fellow of the in- stitute. The Baeck Institute is named for prominent German Rabbi Leo Baeck who endured the concentra- e tion camp at Theresienstadt in World War II with his congregation. He survived to later become a professor at Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati. The institute was founded after World War II in order to preserve the heritage of the Jews in Central Europe. The institute includes -arc- hives, a rare book collection, painting, and a library. It also sponsors forums, semi- nars and lecture series. The institute also has branches in London and Jerusalem. Stern first became a fel- low of the institute when he did research on two German-Jewish poets, Karl serve commuting students and adapt their work to the demands of local con- stituencies."
