Starting out 17 years ago
with 107 students and 13 pro-
fessors, the University had only
200 books, raised by 8 Boston
women who originated the idea
of Books for Brandeis. The
idea caught fire and within a
year 10 such women chapters
sprouted up, becoming the

sity is situated in the Greater
Boston academic circuit. Stand-
ing with its three traditional
chapels (Protestant, Catholic
and Jewish) as a symbol of the
democratic institution, Bran-
deis has, in a short time, be-
come recognized as one of the
nation’s finest centers of higher
learning, ranking with such in-
stitutions as Harvard and Y ale.
An indication of the superior
academic standard and the
quality of the student body is
given by the example of the
1964 graduating class. Out of
130 students, 104 were gradu-
ated summa cum laude, magna
cum laude, and cum laude; and
10 per cent had been elected to
Phi Beta Kappa. An over-
whelming majority continued
on to garduate school, with the
greatest percentage going to
Columbia and Harvard. Among
Houston’s residents are these

years of alumni resources which
a young university of only 17
years has not yet had time to
acquire.
Brandeis was established in
1948 as the first Jewish-spon-

of higher learning in the West-

books in the community and
converting proceeds to new
books for the library, will con-
tribute to the 1965 goal of help-
ing Brandeis obtain 1 million
volumes.
