• Cutline: "Quick transfer of a check for $75,000 among the above three men created a Chair in Hebrew Studies at the University of Wisconsin Saturday. Rabbi Joseph L. Baron, Milwaukee (center), presented the check from the American Jewish Tercentenary Committee of Wisconsin and the Milwaukee Chapter of the American Jewish Committee, to Regent Oscar Rennebohm, (right), president of the University of Wisconsin Foundation, who, in turn, handed it to Regent Pres. A. Matt. Werner, Sheboygan (left). The funds will support, for five years, teaching of Hebrew language and literature at the University."
