Dr. Louis Finkelstein (left), President of the Jewish Theological
Seminary of America, conferring the honorary degree at the fifty-
fourth commencement exercises of the institution in the Seminary
Quadrangle yesterday.
New York—The Honorable Her-
bert H. Lehman, Governor of the
State of New York, received the
honorary degree of Doctor of
Laws before addressing the fifty-
fourth commencement exercises
of the Jewish Theological Semin-
ary of America in New York
City on Sunday, June 15th.
Speaking to some 2,000 alumni,
students and guests in the Sem-
inary Quadrangle, Broadway and
122nd Street, and wearing cap and
gown. Governor Lehman declared
that the clouds were drawing
closer to American shores from
across the Atlantic.
“But our own physical and ec-
onomic safety is not our only con-
cern. We must not think of this
situation in terms of security
alone. We must think as well
in terms of the moral issues in-
volved and we must think straight
and promptly while we still have
time.”
President Louis Finkelstein al-
so conferred the honorary Doctor
of Hebrew Letters on three men
who have made notable contri-
butions to Hebrew learning. Pro-
fessor Victor Aptowitzer, former-
ly of the Israelitisch-theologische
Lehranstalt in Vienna and now
at the age of 75 a refugee in Pal-
estine, was honored in absentia
for “studies in the relationship
etc.” Professor Saul Lieberman,
former dean of the Harry Fischel
Institute for Talmudic Studies in
Jerusalem and at present visiting
professor of Palestinian Literature
and Institutions at the Seminary,
was honored for “having been
able to shed new light etc.” Israel
Matz. founder of the Israel Matz
Foundation in aid of aged Hebrew
authors, received the degree for
contributing “to the renaissance,
etc.”
Before the commencement cere-
mony the Board of Directors and
faculty witnessed the unveiling
in the Seminary building entrance
of a memorial tablet to Dr. Cyrus
Adler, president of the Seminary
from 1915 until his death last
year. A memorial tablet to Felix

Austin—The Honorable Gale F. Johnston, Field Director for the
Defense Savings Staff of the Treasury Department, during a visit
to Austin issued the following statement:
“Our Government desires the support of every man, woman, and
child in this great national emergency.
“This defense savings program offers everyone an opportunity to
have a part in national defense. Of course, everyone can’t take part

M. Warburg was placed in the
Seminary museum. The unveil-
ing services took place in the
presence of Mrs. Adler and Mrs.
Warburg.
Dr. Robert Gordis, of Far Rock-
away, N. Y., presented a scroll
testifying that a forest of 1,000
trees had been planted in Pales-
tine in memory of Professor Mor-
ris D. Levine, who was on the
faculty of the Seminary for 20
years.
Twelve graduates of the Rabbi-
nical School of the Seminary were
ordained as "Rabbi, Preacher and
Teacher in Israel.” The Teachers
Institute conferred the Bachelor
of Jewish Pedagogy on seven
women and six men, the Seminary
College of Jewish Studies con-
ferred the Bachelor of Hebrew
Literature on twelve women and
seven men, and the Israel Fried-
laender Classes awarded two di-
plomas and two certificates of
attendance.
Perhaps the most extraordinary
achievement of Jewish national-
ism is the revival of the Hebrew
language, which has again be-
come a language of the common
intercourse of men. The Hebrew
tongue, called a dead language
for nearly two thousand years,
has, in the Jewish colonies and in
the cities, become again the living
mother-tongue. The effect of this
common language in unifying the
Jews is, of course, great; for the
Jews of Palestine came literally
from all the lands of the earth,
each speaking, except for the use
of Yiddish, the language of the
country from which be came, and
remaining, in the main, almost a
stranger to the others. But the
effect of the renaissance of the
Hebrew tongue is far greater than
that of unifying the Jews. It is a
potent factor in reviving the es-
sentially Jewish spirit

piece of defense material: how-
ever, there are mighty few who
can’t make an investment that
can be used for this purpose.
"The support of this defense
savings program is a voluntary
proposition. No individual need
purchase a security if he does
not wish to do so. However, for
th'se who do wish to enter the
plan, there is a security to fit the
pocketbook of every individual.
The lowest denomination of the
defense savings stamp is 10 cents,
whereas the largest amount that
a person may purchase in one year
of the combined securities, ex-
clusive of the stamps, is $53,750.
“Continuous and systematic in-
vestment in defense savings se-
curities will promote thrift at a
time when national safety calls
for savings and not spending.
When an individual takes ad-
vantage of the increase in income
occasioned by this national de-
fense program and buys as many
commodities which could well be
termed surplus or luxuries, he
puts an additional strain on the
national production. The nation-
al production should have as its
primary purpose defense materials
and equipment.
"In addition to building our
national defenses through this
program, there is the very busi-
ness-like aspect for the individual
of making a prime investment in
these securities. Not only is one
backing the United States Gov-
ernment in a moral sort of way,
but he is purchasing a security
behind which is the faith and the
security of the entire United
States. The securities involved
in this program are considered
to be among the finest from every
standpoint that have been put on
the market in many years.
“These securities, and parti-
cularly the “E” bond, which will
prove most popular to the normal
individual investor, will never
bring less than their original cost.
If held to maturity they will pro-
duce a very satisfactory interest
return, considering their conser-
vative and safe investment feat-
ure. If this Series E bond is held
to maturity, it will yield the
equivalent of slightly less than
3 per cent interest. For instance,
the $25 maturity value bond will
cost $18.75 and at the end of ten
years one will receive the full
maturity value of $25. This bond
may be registered in the name of
one individual or the name of
two individuals as co-owners, or
in the name of one individual as
owner and of one individual as
the beneficiary. The owner of
these bonds may redeem any bond
at any time after 60 days from the
issuance of the bond. The table
of redemption values appears on
the face of the bond: however,
everyone should know that they
will always receive as much as
this bond has cost. It caanot go
down in value. These bonds may
be purchased through your bank
or Post Office, or direct by mail
from the Treasury of the United
States, or from any Federal Re-
serve Bank.
“One of the greatest things
about the entire program is that
it will enable an individual by
continuous and systematic pur-
chasing to buy securities that will
serve as a reserve against the fu-
ture. We cannot tell what the
future will bring. We do know
that the present spending for na-
tional defense will ease down
some day. If individuals during
prosperous times have set away a
reserve for the uncertainty of the
future our national economy will
not suffer a severe shock when
we change over from a defense
economy to a peace-time economy.
"Thrift is never easy. It is much
harder to save than it is to spend.
There are many temptations for
the spending of our money; how-
ever. the smart American always
builds a reserve for the future
and this program offers such a
plan in the most convenient, easy
way that has ever been devised.
“It is hoped by your Govern-
ment that you will embark on a
program of continuous saving,
such as buying a bond every
month or at some other designat-
ed period, or of buying stamps
each week or each month. There
is no goal or quota to be reached
in the effort The whole answer
will be the number of Americans
who enter the program on an in-
vestment basis, which is syste-
matic and continuous month by
month saving.”
