The  Yeshiva  Caper:" 


The  sun  was  glaring  off  the  waters  of  the 
Hudson  as  the  helicopter  swooped  low  across 
the  George  Washington  Bridge.  He  looked  out 
over  the  unending  expanse  of  burned  out  tene- 
ments, bodegas,  and  car  repair  garages,  until  he 
spotted  a  brown  monolith  of  a  building  jutting 
out  of  the  grey  asphalt.  He  motioned  to  the  pilot. 

"Why  don't  you  set  it  down  by  that  gigantic 
pile  of  books  over  there?"  he  said,  pointing. 

The  pilot  (YC  '57)  gave  him  a  queer  look. 

"You  mean  the  library,  don't  you?" 

"Oh,  is  that  what  it  is?"  He  shrugged.  "Looks 
like  a  pile  of  books  to  me". 

The  pilot  landed  on  the  roof  and  the  passen- 
ger got  out.  He  was  immediately  surrounded  by  a 
gang  of  about  twenty  men,  dressed  only  in 
shorts,  their  bodies  glistening  with  sun  tan  oil.  A 
radio  blared  somewhere. 

"Where  do  you  come  off  landing  a  copter 
while  we're  sunbathing?"  one  of  the  group 
asked. 

The  man  ignored  him.  He  turned  to  the  others. 

"Is  this  Yeshiva  University?" 

The  group  laughed. 

"Museum  tours  are  on  Tuesdays  only,  buster", 
the  first  one  said,  spitting. 

The  man  turned. 

"Look  kid,  I  don't  like  your  attitude,  so  beat  it!" 

"Make  me!" 

The  man  swung  at  the  boy's  head.  The  youth 
ducked,  pivoted,  and  grabbed  the  man's  out- 
stretched arm.  He  pivoted  again,  pulling,  and  the 
man  flew  through  the  air,  landing  hard. 

He  got  up  slowly  and  brushed  himself  off. 

"Pretty  good  stuff.  Where  d'ya  learn  it?" 

The  boy  grinned.  "I'm  a  member  of  the  Karate 
Club,  and  the  Wrestling  Team". 

The  man  whistled,  long  and  low.  "Boy,  I've  got 
a  lot  to  learn  about  Yeshiva  U.". 


He  sat  in  the  president's  office.  Lamm  sat  at 
the  head  of  the  conference  table,  talking.  He  had 
been  talking  for  45  minutes. 

"...  Now  synthesis  is  a  philosophical  term 
which  .  .  . 

He  interrupted. 

"Excuse  me  Dr.  Lamm". 

"Rabbi  Lamm". 

"Sorry,  Rabbi  Lamm,  I  .  .  . 

'President  Lamm  ". 

"Whatever.  Sir,  I'm  a  detective.  I'm  not  very 
interested  in  synthesis.  Right  now  I'm  more  inter- 
ested in  finding  out  what  is  going  on.  If  you  can 
help  me  in  any  way". 

"Help  you!"  Rabbi  Lamm  shouted.  "How  can 
we  help  you  if  you  don't  give  us  any  information. 
You  don't  even  know  why  you  are  here!  How  can 
we  help  you?!" 

"I  found  a  note  in  my  office.  It  had  two  letters 
on  it,  Y  and  U.  I  spent  three  weeks  puzzling  it 
out.  I  called  Yale.  I  called  Yugoslavia.  Nothing. 
Then  one  night  I  get  a  phone  call.  All  the  voice 
says  is:  'When  it's  cold  you  shiver'.  What  does  it 
mean?" 


Lamm  reached  for  his  phone  and  said: 

"Send  in  Tauber". 

A  gigantic  man  strode  into  the  office.  The 
detective  started  to  sweat.  He  had  been  in  sim- 
ilar situations,  but  never  exactly  lil<e  this.  The 
man's  face  —  it  was  covered  by  a  mesh  metal 
mask.  What  it  covered?  —  the  detective  didn't 
want  to  think  about. 

"Hey  Lah!",  Tauber  said,  saluting. 

Lamm  quickly  appraised  him  of  the  situation. 
When  he  got  to  the  phrase:  "When  it's  cold  you 
shiver",  Tauber  paled. 

"Sounds  like  a  fencer",  he  exclaimed. 

"You  mean,  stolen  goods?"  the  detective 
asked. 

Tauber  glared.  "No,  I  mean  fencing,  like  epee, 
foil,  saber". 

"Oh.  So  that  means  that  the  caller  was  on  the 
Fencing  Team". 

"But  what  does  it  mean?"  Lamm  and  Tauber 
both  said  at  the  same  instant.  They  looked  at 
each  other. 

"I  don't  know",  the  detective  said,  "but  I'll  find 
out". 

The  plan  was  simple.  He  would  enter  the 
school  as  an  exchange  student  from  Afranistan. 
This  would  enable  him  to  blend  into  the  student 
body,  and  to  infiltrate  deeply  into  the  maze  of 
Yeshiva  College.  But  first  he  had  to  register. 


He  entered  the  registrar's  office.  He  saw 
people  rushing  back  and  forth,  papers  flying, 
phones  ringing.  He  was  amazed  at  the  way  the 
people  were  efficiently  wasting  time.  After  watch- 
ing for  a  few  minutes,  he  tripped  a  hunched-over 
man  carrying  a  tremendous  stack  of  books. 

"Look  what  you've  done  now"  the  man  said, 
dusting  himself  off. 

"Sorry,  but  I  had  to  get  your  attention". 

"But  now  we'll  be  delayed  another  three  years. 
These  catalogs  must  be  dirt-free.  They  must  .  .  . 

"Look,  I  just  want  to  register". 

The  man  got  up  slowly.  He  looked  suspiciously 
at  the  detective. 

"Register?  But  the  semester  has  already  start- 
ed". 

"I  have  special  permission  from  the  Dean.  I'm 
an  exchange  student  from  Afranistan".  Then  he 
added  wrily:  "My  father  is  the  crown  prince". 

The  man's  eyes  widened.  He  licked  his  lips, 
and  started  breathing  quickly. 

"Did  you  say  Afranistan?  Famous  people,  mon- 
ey, movie  stars,  money,  swimming  pools,  money 

"That's  right",  the  detective  said,  pausing, 
"and  I'm  prepared  to  pay  in  full  .  .  .  cash!" 

Desks,  files,  typewriters,  secretaries  were  all 
dimly  noted  articles  as  the  detective  was  plunged 
headlong  Into  a  cramped  office.  The  man  was 
pulling  him  into  a  chair.  On  the  office  desk  was  a 
sign  that  read:  "THE  BUCK  PASSES  HERE". 

"My  name  is  Edelstein.  What's  yours?" 

"Shabtai  Tsvi  Leinovich". 

"I  didn't  know  they  had  jews  in  Afranistan". 

"Well,  after  the  revolution  the  only  books  avail- 
able were  old  copies  of  Scholem's  "Major 
Trends  in  Jewish  Mysticism",  which  sort  of  got 
us  interested. 

"I  see"  Edelstein  said,  a  perplexed  look  across 
his  face,  "and  have  you  already  registered  for 
Jewish  Studies?" 

"No". 

"Well,  you  have  to  decide  if  you're  going  into 
RIETS,  JSS,  or"  —  Edelstein  sniffed  —  "EMC". 


The  detective  left  the  office  and  walked  down 
the  hallway.  Out  of  the  cornerof  his  eye  he  spied 
a  uniformed  guard  approaching  him. 

"Excuse  me  sir,  but  what's  the  password?" 

The  detective  smiled.  Lamm  had  prepared  him 
for  this  situation. 

"Torah  U'mada",  he  said  with  confidence. 

The  guard  relaxed. 

"I'm  sorry  sir  if  I  caused  you  any  inconven- 
ience, you  can  go.  We  can't  be  too  careful  you 
know".  He  gave  a  confidential  nod  to  the  detec- 
tive. "This  neighborhood  is  full  of  them". 

"Them?" 

"Undesirables  —  Communists,  Liberals,  Neo- 
Platonists,  Existentialists.  The  whole  bunch 
should  be  sent  back  where  they  came  from.". 

"Where's  that?" 

"New  Jersey.  They  breed  'em  there  and  then 
send  'em  over  the  G.W.  into  the  city.  They  breed 
like  rats". 

The  detective  mumbled  something  and  quickly 
walked  away. 

He  came  to  a  door  marked  "JEWISH  STUD- 
IES" and  opened  it.  Inside,  three  men  stood  in  a 
semi-circle,  facing  him.  One  had  coils  of  rope 
wrapped  around  him,  and  a  sign  hung  from  his 
neck  which  read  "My  Hands  Are  Tied".  By  his 
feet  rested  a  sign  which  read  "Join  EMC  now 
and  win  a  free  trip  to  Europe!".  The  second  man 
was  constantly  blinking  and  scribbling  furiously 
into  a  note  pad.  A  sign  next  to  him  read: 
Take  a  load  off  your  feets 
And  Join  up  for  RIETS 

The  third  man  stood  in  perfect  silence.  A  halo 
of  light  danced  above  his  head,  and  ministering 
angels  sang  hoseannahs.  By  his  feet  an  eph- 
emeral light  shone,  in  the  middle  of  which  letters 
burned  in  white  fire  on  top  of  black  fire.  They 
spelled  out  a  message: 
Menei  Menei  Tekeil  Ufarsin 
Can  be  explained  by  Rabbi  Besdin. 
So  join  up  now,  don't  be  a  fool. 
Stick  with  a  winner,  James  Striar  School. 

The  detective  thought  it  sounded  like  a  school 
cheer.  He  stood  looking  at  the  three  men,  unable 
to  decide.  So  he  didn't. 


He  walked  into  the  office  of  the  Dean  of  Ye- 
shiva  College.  The  secretary  was  trying  to  type 
something,  but  she  kept  getting  White-Out  on 
the  keys  and  couldn't  tell  which  keys  to  press. 
The  detective  coughed  and  the  secretary  looked 
up. 

"I'm  a  new  student.  I'd  like  to  see  the  Dean". 

The  secretary  smiled. 

"Which  one?" 

"How  many  are  there?"  he  asked,  afraid  to 
hear  the  answer. 

In  reply,  the  secretary  stood  up  and  walked 
over  to  a  wall  on  which  there  was  a  poster  that 
said: 

UNIVERSITY  REORGANIZATION  REORGANI- 
ZATION 

"There  are  currently  53  deans"  the  secretary 
began,  smiling,  "which  is  interesting  when  you 
realize  that  the  university  employs  only  48  secre- 
taries". She  continued,  "These  deans  are  in- 
volved in  all  aspects  of  the  university.  There  is  a 
Dean  of  Science,  Dean  of  Humanities,  Dean  of 
Food,  Dean  of  Parking,  Dean  of .  .  . 

The  detective  interrupted,  "But  I  need  a 
request  approved  to  waive  my  Jewish  Studies 
requirement". 

"What!"  the  secretary  screamed.  The  detective 
felt  the  building  shake.  "That's  never  been  re- 
quested before.  You'll  have  to  see  .  .  .  The  Dean 
of  Deans!"  She  shuddered,  then  fainted.  The 
detective  decided  he  didn't  want  to  wait  around 
to  meet  this  Dean  of  Deans.  He  could  complete 
his  registration  later.  He  decided  to  go  for  a  tour 


of  the  campus.  He  took  the  back  entrance  into 
the  library.  Maybe  if  he  could  read  up  on  Yeshiva 
University  he  could  get  a  clue  as  to  why  he  was 
there.  He  went  to  the  circulation  desk. 

An  elderly  man  stood  behind  the  counter,  soft- 
ly cursing  beneath  his  breath.  The  detective 
asked  if  he  could  see  a  book  on  Yeshiva  Univer- 
sity. The  man  shook  his  head.  The  detective 
asked  if  the  book  was  currently  circulating.  The 
man  shook  his  head.  The  detective  asked  if  there 
was  any  reason  why  he  could  not  see  the  book. 
The  man  shook  his  head,  then  spoke: 

"If  you'd  let  me  get  a  word  in  edgewise,  I'd  tell 
you  that  we  do  have  a  book  on  Y.U."  the  man 
shook  his  head. 

"But  you  shook  your  head  'No'  "  the  detective 
protested. 

The  man  shook  his  head.  "I  did  not". 

The  detective  was  getting  a  headache.  He  was 
learning  an  important  lesson:  Never  ask  ques- 
tions. But  he  was  a  detective,  he  had  to  ask 
questions. 

The  old  man  was  pulling  him  by  the  arm. 

"Come  with  me,  I  have  exactly  what  you  want" 
he  said,  winking  at  the  detective. 


The  old  man  opened  a  door  covered  with  dust 
and  cobwebs.  They  descended  a  spiral  stair- 
case. The  detective  noticed  that  as  they  went 
farther  down  the  walls  began  to  get  damp.  Final- 
ly they  stopped.  The  old  man  took  out  a  flash- 
light and  shone  it  ahead  of  them.  The  detective 
was  astounded.  They  were  standing  in  a  cav- 
ernous room.  Before  them  endless  rows  of  books 
stretched  out  as  far  as  the  eye  could  see.  The 
floor  of  the  room  was  a  lake! 

The  old  man  got  into  a  rowboat,  motioning  to 
the  stunned  detecitve  to  do  likewise.  As  the  old 
man  rowed  he  explained: 

"This  is  the  heart  of  the  library.  We  don't  trust 
the  students,  so  we  keep  the  books  down  here. 
We  have  the  largest  library  in  the  world,  bigger 
than  Harvard,  The  Vatican,  the  New  York  Public 
Library  .  .  . 

"And  why  are  you  showing  it  to  me?"  inter- 
jected the  passenger. 

"Because  you  asked  for  a  book  on  Y.U.  In  my 
forty  years  here  no  one,  NO  ONE,  has  asked  for 
a  book  on  Y.U.  I  knew  it  as  soon  as  I  saw  you  .  .  . 
You  are  The  Messiah! ' 

The  detective  nearly  fell  overboard.  He  looked 
at  the  old  man.  "Another  loony",  he  thought, 
"this  place  must  get  'em  wholesale".  The  old 
man  had  stopped  rowing. 

"I  will  get  the  book  for  you  now,  O'  most  Holy 
One",  he  said,  climbing  out  of  the  boat  and  onto 
the  platform  which  supported  the  bookshelves. 
The  detective  waited  until  he  disappeared  into 
the  recesses  of  the  shelves,  and  the  grabbed  the 
oars.  He  rowed  furiously. 


"Wait!  Come  back!"  the  old  man  shouted. 
"Why  are  you  going?  Was  it  something  I  said?!" 

But  the  detective  didn't  pause  to  answer.  He 
reached  the  stairway  and  ran  up  out  of  the 
dungeon  onto  the  main  floor  of  the  library  .  .  . 
and  into  the  arms  of  one  of  the  biggest  men  he 
had  ever  seen.  The  giant  threw  him  to  the  floor 
and  snarled. 

"Make  one  move  and  I'll  squash  you  like  an 
ant"  he  hissed.  The  detective  remained  perfectly 
still  and  the  giant  continued: 

"You've  been  asking  too  many  questions,  mis- 
ter, and  the  Colonel  doesn't  like  it.  We  also  know 
you're  a  detective,  and  the  Colonel  doesn't  like 
that,  either!". 

The  captive  whispered  "I  can  explain".  For  a 
moment  he  thought  he  would  be  squashed.  The 
giant's  eyes  burned  with  rage  and  his  foot  lower- 
ed menacingly.  But  then  he  relaxed. 

"Okay",  he  said,  "you  can  explain  to  The 
Colonel.  But  ...  ",  he  grinned,  "it'd  better  be 
good". 


The  giant  led  him  out  of  the  library  and  across 
the  street  into  a  building  which,  for  some  strange 
reason,  was  called  the  'morgue'.  Now  the  detec- 
tive knew  why.  The  giants  office  was  here  "Prob- 
ably eats  students  for  breakfast",  the  detective 
thought. 

A  woman,  the  giant's  personal  secretary,  sat 
behind  a  desk,  concentrating  on  slowly  pulling 
the  wings  off  of  flies.  Behind  here,  on  the  wall, 
was  a  chest  of  keys.  The  detective  could  only 
imagine  how  many  dispicable  dungeons  were 
routinely  opened  and  cast  shut  with  those  keys. 

The  giant  and  his  prisoner  entered  an  inner 
office.  The  giant  pushed  a  button  beside  the 
desk.  Suddenly,  a  secret  panel  in  the  floor  slid 
away,  revealing  a  stairway. 

"C'mon,  we'll  take  the  secret  passage",  and 
he  motioned  the  detective  down. 

As  they  walked,  the  giant  explained  that  the 
passageway  wound  under  all  the  school's 
grounds,  enabling  him  to  sneak  up  on  anyone, 
anywhere.  He  seemed  proud  of  this  tunnel. 

They  traveled  a  while,  the  giant  directing.  They 
eventually  reached  an  elevator.  The  giant 
pressed  17.  The  elevator  opened  onto  a  dark 
hallway,  lit  only  by  the  green  lights  of  humming 
computer  terminals. 

"This  is  our  Security  Center.  Up  here  we  can 
spot  and  trace  a  water  balloon". 

"Very  impressive"  yawned  the  detective. 

"And  through  this  we  can  see  if  a  student  is 
making  too  much  noise."  The  giant  was  pointing 
to  an  ultrasonic-infrared-telescope. 

The  detective  looked  through  the  scope.  He 
saw  three  cars  being  stolen,  and  a  mugging. 

"What  are  you  doing  about  that?"  he  asked. 

The  giant  shrugged. 

"Nothing.  As  long  as  no  building  is  threatened, 
we  don't  have  to  do  anything.  These  buildings 
are  valuable". 

"But  empty". 

"In  any  case.  The  Colonel  is  waiting  for  you". 


The  Colonel  was  a  short  man,  who  stood  in 
the  middle  of  a  busy  room,  casually  pistol  whipp- 
ing a  student. 

"C'mon,  we  have  your  prints  on  the  plastic 
bag,  and  we  have  a  witness  from  the  super- 
market who  saw  you  buy  the  bags",  The  Colonel 
screamed  at  the  bold  student. 

"I  didn't  do  it!  Someone  must  have  stolen  my 
bags  and  used  them  in  the  water  fight!"  smirked 
the  lying  waterbomber. 

"We  have  ways  of  dealing  with  you. 
would  another  semester  of  Interscience 
you?" 

The  student  winced. 

"Or  Intro  to  Sociology?" 

The  student  shuddered. 

"STOP  IT!"  shouted  the  student,  "Alright,  I 
admit  it,  I  threw  the  water  bombs!" 

The  student  broke  down  sobbing. 

The  Colonel  smiled,  gleefully  rubbing  his 
hands. 

The  detective  was  truly  impressed. 


How 
grab 


The  Colonel  now  turned  to  the  detective. 

"Now,  what  can  I  do  for  you?  I've  heard  that 
you've  been  asking  plenty  of  questions.  Just 
what  is  it  that  you  want?" 

The  detective  shook  his  head. 

"Nothing",  he  stammered,  "I've  seen  enough. 
Yeshiva  University  is  a  mystery  that  is  better  left 
unsolved.  There  are  too  many  questions,  and  the 
answers  aren't  worth  it". 

The  Colonel  nodded. 

"Glad  you  see  it  our  way".  Then  to  the  giant, 
"Show  the  gentleman  out". 


The  detective  sighed  when  he  felt  the  warm 
afternoon  sun  on  his  face.  He  had  only  been  at 
Y.U.  for  two  days,  and  it  felt  like  an  eternity. 
"But,",  he  thought,  "with  all  its  strangeness,  I 
kind  of  like  the  place.  You  gotta  be  special  to 
come  here". 

He  strolled  along  Amsterdam  Avenue,  and  saw 
an  old  lady  sitting  by  a  fence.  She  beckoned  to 
him,  and  he  approached  her.  She  whispered  this 
in  his  ear: 

"Everyone  who  comes  here  has  different  rea- 
sons for  doing  so.  Each  must  discover  within 
himself  the  reason  why  he  is  here.  You  have 
come,  guided  by  a  slip  of  paper  with  two  letters, 
Y  and  U.  If  you  truly  seek  the  solution  to  your 
riddle  you  will  have  to  spend  many  days  here. 
That  is  all  I  can  tell  you". 

She  grabbed  his  arm  as  he  started  to  rise. 

"Give  to  the  hospital  in  Israel,  kinderlach",  she 
said,  hand  extended,  as  she  smiled  a  toothless 
smile.

NEW  YORK,   N.  Y.  10033 


March  14,  1979 


TO  THE  CLASS  OF  1979: 

It  gives  me  great  pleasure  to  greet  all  of  you  at  the 
occasion  of  your  graduation  from  Yeshiva  College. 

The  significance  of  this  event  is  enhanced  by  the 
special  number  attached  to  it:   it  is  the  fiftieth 
anniversary  of  Yeshiva  College. 

Borrowing  from  the  Talmudic  dictum  that  "a  mitzvah    is 
attributed  to  the  one  who  concludes  it,"  your  class 
deserves  the  congratulations  of  the  past  fifty  years. 

The  sacred  idea  embodied  at  the  very  core  and  soul  of 
our  institution,  that  of  Torah    V-Madda,    has  proven  its 
viability  in  American  society. 

This  also  places  upon  you  a  special  responsibility  to 
represent  what  we  stand  for,  in  the  course  of  your 
professional  and  personal  lives,  with  dignity  and 
respect  and  loyalty. 

I  am  sure  that  as  the  class  that  graduates  at  the 
occasion  of  our  Golden  Jubilee,  you  will  be  granted  by 
the  Almighty  brilliant  opportunities  to  reflect  upon 
us  and  the  entire  community  in  a  way  that  will  satisfy 
your  own  most  profound  spiritual  desires. 


Sincerely  yours. 


NORMAN  LAMM 
President

OFFICE  OF  THE  DEA 


Dean  Daniel  C.  Kurtzer 


May  21,  1979 


To  The  Class  of  1979 

Yeshiva  College  celebrated  its  fiftieth  anniversary  this 
year;  and,  as  occurs  during  most  celebrations  of  this  kind,  much 
time  was  spent  reflecting  on  the  College's  goals,  achievements 
and  aspirations.   In  particular,  various  symposia  and  speakers 
subjected  the  ideal  of  Torah  u'mada  to  analysis  and  interpretation. 
This  is  a  significant  venture  for,  despite  its  elusiveness,  the 
mission  of  this  university  remains  vitally  important  to  the  American 
and  world  Jewish  communities. 

These  activities  have  taken  on  particular  significance  in  light 
of  several  institutional  and  community  developments.  Within  YU,  the 
academic  administration  has  adopted  the  goal  —  a  very  difficult  one  -- 
of  reorienting  the  university's  priorities  toward  the  undergraduate 
colleges.  This  has  entailed  several  difficult  financially  based 
decisions.   In  the  community  at  large,  critical  social  and  ethical 
problems  have  gone  also  either  without  resolution  or  have  been  resolved 
in  a  less  than  satisfactory  manner. 

It  appears  that  social  and  communal  changes  have  outstripped  the 
capacity  of  institutions  to  deal  with  the  changes  in  ethical  and  moral 
ways.  We  are  finding  it  increasingly  more  difficult  to  cope  with  basic 
definitions  of  life  and  death  and  with  the  religious  and  value  questions 
associated  with  them. 

Thus  YU's  renewed  and  re  invigorated  commitment  to  the  symbiosis 
between  society  and  religion  takes  on  added  meaning  in  this  period. 
We  cannot  fail  to  define  our  goals;  and,  we  cannot  but  address  the 
critical  moral  and  ethical  issues  of  the  coming  decade. 

Sincerel y.

and  will  not  be  tolerated  at  any  time,  b:t  was 
particu'arly  a  chilul  hashem  because  it  occurred 
during  Selichoth  week. 

We  are  hereby  informing  all  Yeshiva  University 
students  that  we  will  deal  severely  with  any  student 
who  at  any  time  provokes,  leads  or  even  participates 
in  disorders  of  this  nature.   You  are  Yeshiva  student 
and  you  live  in  a  residential  area.   Please  act 
accordingly.

WYUR 


Radio  station  WYUR  was  revitalized  tlnis 
year,  due  cliiefly  to  the  aggressive  efforts  of 
Station  Manager  Steve  B.  Cohen.  There 
were  some  dazzling  special  events,  as  well 
as  regular  broadcasts  of  Student  Council 
meetings  and  Varsity  basketball  games.  On 
the  music  scene,  shows  ranged  from  classi- 
cal to  progressive  rock,  from  jazz  to  hebrew. 
With  the  aid  of  the  Stern  girls  the  station 
served  both  the  Yeshiva  College  and  Stern 
campuses.  Because  of  the  tireless  efforts  of 
DJs,  electricians  and  technicians  YUR  ran 
much  more  smoothly  than  in  previous  years.

'First  Down"  by  Jay  Bernstein 


148 


Yeshiva  University.  Yeah,  tiiat's  the  tactory 
that  turns  out  doctors,  lawyers  and  rabbis. 
Sports?  Well,  back  in  the  50's  we  had  a  ball- 
player who  was  almost  drafted,  and  then  in  the 
60's  a  guy  almost  made  the  Maccabiah  Team 

Okay,  so  no  one  has  ever  confused  us  with 
Notre  Dame.  But  nevertheless,  this  was  a  very 
exciting  year  athletically,  with  Yeshiva  fielding 
51/2  varsity  teams  (sorry  hockey)  on  the  inter- 
collegiate level.  Much  of  the  credit  goes  to  the 
new  A.D.  ('Athletic  Director'  for  you  non-jocks) 
Dr.  Arthur  Tauber,  who  single-handedly  has 
transformed  Y.U.  sports  into  a  force  to  be 
reckoned  with.  We  may  not  have  been  as  big, 
as  experienced  or  as  well  trained  as  our  oppo- 
nents —  but  no  one  can  say  that  we  weren't

Faivy  quarterbacking  the  Macs 


152 


The  Macabees,  undergoing  yet  another  rebuilding  year,  were  plagued  by 
lapses  in  concentration  due  to  inexperience.  Some  leadership  and  cohesive- 
ness  was  supplied  by  the  predominantly  rookie  senior  contingent  but  it 
wasn't  always  enough.  Oh  well  —  Columbia  didn't  make  a  post  season 
tourney  either! 

Once  again  big  Dave  Kufeld,  Captain  and  Mainstay,  led  the  team,  captur- 
ing the  collegiate  rebounding  crown.  Yep  —  that's  right  —  number  one  in  the 
whole  country.  David  and  high  scoring  frosh  Harvey  Scheff  combined  to 
score  35  points  per  game.  Credit  must  also  go  to  power  forward  Chaim 
Gettenberg,  who  balanced  out  the  front  line.  His  muscle  was  very  useful 
underneath  and  helped  set  up  the  big  men  for  many  easy  layups.  Moving  to 
guard,  Faivy  and  Duv  comprised  one  of  the  fastest  backcourts  fielded  by 
Yeshiva.  Faivy  making  it  look  easy,  broke  every  press  thrown  at  us  and  was 
high  man  on  the  team  in  assists.  Duv,  in  his  customary  hustling  role,  was  the 
defensive  specialist  —  spending  a  good  deal  of  his  time  drawing  charging 
fouls  and  landing  on  the  floor.  Unfortunately,  swingman  Lenny  Schwartz- 
baum,  4  year  Varsity  veteran  and  Captain  of  the  Macs,  was  lost  early  on  in 
the  season  because  of  an  ankle  injury.  His  presence  was  sorely  missed,  but 
he  did  come  back  in  time  to  spark  the  seniors  intramural  squad.

Lunge.  Parry.  Ripost.  Fencing  had  a  winning 
record  for  the  umpteenth  year  in  a  row.  Ho  hum. 
What  are  those  guys  trying  to  do?  —  Pretty  soon 
we're  going  to  start  attracting  prospects,  then 
we'll  go  out  and  actively  recruit;  that  leads  to  a 
big  time  athletic  program,  and  then  .  .  .  what's  to 
distinguish  us  from  UCLA? 

Coaches  Tauber  and  Marcel,  despite  losing  six 
starters  (and  one  mascot),  surprised  everyone  by 
maintaining  their  winning  tradition.  Co-captain 
Mark  Taragin,  who  placed  4th  in  an  NCAA  quali- 
fying meet,  exemplified  the  spirit  and  toughness 
of  the  Taubermen.  Marv  Huberman  and  Baruch 
Deutch  filled  out  Sabre,  which  had  a  superb  73- 
31  season.  This  somewhat  made  up  for  the  lack- 
luster performance  of  Foil  (with  Epee  not  far 
behind)  who  kept  all  their  matches  close.  Still, 
Co-captain  Ira  Herman,  David  Katzenstein  and 
Marty  Ast  did  fence  solidly.  And  special  recogni- 
tion is  merited  by  Ben  Kurtzer,  who  with  just  one 
year  of  fencing  managed  to  run  up  quite  an 
impressive  record.

By  far  the  most  watched  sport  in  school  is 
wrestling  —  after  all,  when  was  the  last 
time  you  saw  so  many  guys  in  one  room 
other  than  an  evening  session  with  Morri- 
son and  Boyd.  One  could  really  sense  the 
enthusiasm,  with  all  that  banging  and  jum- 
ping, and  the  crowd  yelling  "crossface", 
"table",  and  the  ever  popular  "shoot  the 
leg"!  Injuries  unfortunately  decimated  the 
team,  as  three  starters  —  Captain  Izzy 
Klein,  Arnie  Rogoff  and  Alan  Bell  —  were 
desparately  missed.  But  the  wrestlers,  al- 
ways tough  as  nails  (just  how  tough  are 
nails?)  managed  to  salvage  a  4-2  season  — 
and  without  even  breaking  double  figures 
In  pins!  They  were  led  by  the  tenacious 
wrestling  of  Captain  Saul  Grife  who  put  in 
much  hard  work  and  effort  during  his  four 
years  sojourn.  This  season  also  marked  the 
first  out  of  state  road  trip  (a  smashing 
victory  over  highly  touted  Del.  State)  and 
the  initiation  of  a  new  coaching  staff.  And 
finally,  who  will  ever  forget  the  brutal  wres- 
tling of  Bugsy,  Mugsy,  Danny  and  Freddy, 
the  heart  of  this  persistent  squad.

Which  team  had  the  unique  incentive  of 
female  companionship,  and  as  a  result 
moved  up  several  notches  to  a  13th  place 
finish  in  the  Eastern  league?  Of  course, 
we're  talking  about  everyone's  favorite 
contact  sport,  bowling.  In  addition  to  play- 
ing the  longest  season,  and  posting  the 
school's  biggest  winning  streak,  the  Keg- 
lers  had  the  distinction  of  leading  all  var- 
sities in  captains,  with  three  (C'mon,  it 
looks  good  on  the  applications!),  Norm 
Shapiro,  Aaron  Glatt  and  Bill  Sharfman. 
The  honorees,  all  members  of  the  select 
200  Club  paced  Y.U.  to  one  of  its  highest 
team  averages  ever.  Consistency  is  the 
only  way  to  describe  Bill,  and  Norm  always 
came  through  with  a  big  pitch  when 
needed.  Aaron,  finally  losing  his  infamous 
stutter  step,  rounded  out  the  trio,  and  to- 
gether they  formed  a  strong  nucleus. 
Much  of  the  teams  success  has  to  also  be 
attributed  to  rookie  coach  Mark  Breslow,  4 
year  vet  Efram  Berger,  and  to  the  tre- 
mendous fan  support  the  team  received.

Yeshiva  College 
Golden  Jubilee  Celebration 


"THE  GREAT 
EXPERIMENT" 

On  September  25,  1928,  35  students  gathered  in 
The  Jewish  Center  at  131  West  86th  Street  for  the 
opening  classes  of  the  newly  formed  Yeshiva  Col- 
lege. The  event  was  a  historic  moment  in  the  an- 
nals of  American  Jewish  life,  and  it  was  the  fulfill- 
ment of  a  dream  of  its  founder  and  first  president. 
Dr.  Bernard  Revel,  and  the  small  group  of  commu- 
nity leaders  who  supported  him. 

Dr.  Revel's  vision  was  the  creation  of  the  na- 
tion's first  liberal  arts  college  under  Jewish  aus- 
pices. The  school,  in  his  words,  would  educate  stu- 
dents "liberally  as  well  as  Jewishly."  The  College 
would  incorporate  the  best  of  two  great  educational 
systems,  the  yeshiva  and  the  university,  into  a 
unique  institution.  "Save  for  the  inclusion  of  the  Bi- 
ble, Hebrew  language,  Jewish  history,  philosophy, 
and  ethics  as  required  subjects,  the  curriculum  will 
differ  little  from  that  of  other  colleges,"  Dr.  Revel 
wrote  in  an  article  entitled 'Aims  of  the  Yeshiva.' "It 
is  rather  in  its  aim  and  its  possible  ultimate  contri- 
bution that  Yeshiva  College  differs  from  general  in- 
stitutions of  higher  learning." 

Opposition  and  Support 

The  idea  of  synthesis  of  Judaic  learning  with  liberal 
arts  in  a  college  setting  was  a  novel  one,  and  it 
raised  widespread  reaction,  both  good  and  bad, 
throughout  the  Jewish  and  educational  communi- 
ties. Many  barriers  and  obstacles  had  to  be  over- 
come before  Dr.  Revel's  hopes  became  reality. 
There  were  secularists  and  socialists  who  opposed 
what  they  viewed  as  the  spread  of  Orthodoxy,  and 
who  saw  the  project  as  an  unreasonable  financial 
burden  on  the  Jewish  community. 

In  March  1925,  several  months  after  the  begin- 
ning of  the  College's  capital  fund  drive  for  the  new 
Washington  Heights  campus,  an  editorial  entitled 
"Starvation  in  the  Ukraine  and  $5,000,000  Yeshiva 
in  New  York"  appeared  in  the  pro-Soviet  Yiddish 
newspaper.  New  Wahrheit.  The  paper  said,  "upon 


'  the  early  years,  noting  that  the  outlook  was  dim 
during  the  Depression,  and  the  financial  picture  of 
this  institution  the  brainless  philanthropists  want  to 
squander  millions  that  would  be  the  saving  of  four 
million  of  our  unfortunate  brethren  in  Ukrainia  .  .  . 
It  is  high  time  that  the  Jews  of  New  York  should 
stop  and  consider  who  their  leaders  are,  and 
whither  they  are  being  led." 

There  were  those  who  felt  the  College  would  iso- 
late Jews  from  the  rest  of  the  American  communi- 
ty. The  American  Israelite,  a  Reform  Jewish  paper 
published  in  Cincinnati,  declared  "the  movement  is 
unwise,  un-American,  and,  above  all,  un- Jewish." 
Among  the  most  outspoken  critics  was  Louis 
Marshall,  the  noted  lawyer  and  communal  leader. 
Solicited  to  aid  the  College  building  campaign,  he 
refused,  saying  that  the  students  in  the  school 
"would  not  even  have  the  opportunity  to  learn  how 
to  speak  English  with  accuracy.  Such  a  college 
would  be  nothing  more  than  a  Ghetto  institution." 
In  a  letter  widely  circulated  in  the  Anglo-Jewish 
press,  Marshall  said,  "a  wall  of  difference  is  created 
by  those  who  acquire  their  secular  education  and 
religious  training  in  such  an  institution  and  the  out- 
side world,  and  those  who  are  graduated  under 


Dr.  Bernard  Revel,  founder  and  first  president  of  Yeshiva 
College. 


166 


such  conditions  are  apt  to  be  deprived  of  the  most 
valuable  part  of  college  or  university  training,  that 
of  contact  with  men  of  varying  opinions." 

However,  Dr.  Revel  found  support  from  the  lay 
leadership  of  RIETS,  of  which  he  was  president,  in 
the  Orthodox  Jewish  community,  and  among 
prominent  educators  nationwide.  Among  the 
staunch  supporters  were  Harry  Fischel,  Louis  Gold, 
Mendel  Gottesman,  Nathan  Lamport,  Samuel 
Levy,  Pinchas  Lieberman,  Rabbi  Moses  S. 
Margolies,  Nathan  Roggen,  Judge  Otto  A. 
Rosalsky,  Harris  L.  Selig,  Meyer  Vessel,  and  Ben- 
jamin Winter.  The  Agudat  Harabanim  and  the 
Union  of  Orthodox  Jewish  Congregations  of  Ameri- 
ca hailed  the  project  as  marking  "the  successful  ar- 
rival of  Orthodoxy  in  the  mainstream  of  American 
Jewry."  Letters  of  praise  and  endorsement 
streamed  in  from  leading  college  and  university 
presidents,  including  Frank  Aydelotte,  Swarthmore 
College:  Lowe  Bryant,  University  of  Indiana; 
Nicholas  Murray  Butler,  Columbia  University; 
Henry  McCracken,  Vassar  College;  Fredrick 
Robinson,  City  College  of  New  York;  Walter  Dill 
Scott,  Northwestern  University;  Dean  G.  F.  Kay, 


College  of  Liberal  Arts,  Iowa  University;  Provost 
J.  H.  Penniman,  University  of  Pennsylvania;  and 
Roy  Lyman  Wilbur,  Stanford  University. 

In  January  1926,  while  Dr.  Revel  proceeded  to 
formulate  the  curriculum  and  gather  the  faculty, 
construction  of  the  original  Main  Building  (now 
Joseph  and  Faye  Tanenbaum  Hall)  began,  with  the 
cornerstone  laying  ceremony  taking  place  on  May 
1,  1927.  The  crowd  that  gathered  that  Sunday  was 
enormous;  newspaper  estimates  ranged  between 
10,000  and  30,000.  Among  the  many  congratula- 
tory messages  Dr.  Revel  received  was  one  from 
U.S.  President  Calvin  Coolidge.  "The  Jews  of 
America,"  the  president's  letter  read,  "through  the 
increased  advantages  at  the  disposal  of  the 
Yeshiva,  will  be  able  to  broaden  their  field  for  the 
training  of  scholars  and  religious  leaders  for  their 
people.  This  is  of  importance,  not  only  for  them, 
but  to  our  national  life  as  a  whole." 

Until  the  new  building  was  completed,  classes 
met  in  The  Jewish  Center.  The  35  students  were 
primarily  graduates  of  the  Talmudical  Academy, 
now  known  as  Yeshiva  University  High  School  for 
Boys  — Manhattan.  They  were  greeted  by  10  full-

areas  of  instruction:  classical  languages  and  civili- 
zation; modern  foreign  languages  and  literature; 
mathematics  and  natural  sciences;  history  and 
social  sciences;  philosophy  and  ethics;  and  Jewish 
and  Semitic  studies.  The  program  of  study  was  well 
defined,  with  only  a  few  options  for  elective 
courses;  there  were  no  majors  as  they  now  exist. 
Tuition  for  the  year,  including  all  fees,  was  $300.

Washington  Heights  in  1928  was  more  suburban 
than  urban.  The  IND  subway  line  had  not  yet  been 
completed,  and  the  area  was  dominated  by  private 
homes.  Sunday  was  activity  day  for  New  Yorkers 


The  new  Washington  Heights  campus  was  dedicated  on 
the  second  day  of  hianukkah,  1928.

Amsterdam  Ave. 

The  first  years  of  YC  coincided  with  the  Depres- 
sion, and  the  school,  never  blessed  with  a  large  en- 
dowment, was  hit  by  financial  crisis.  Heavy  mort- 
gage payments  had  to  be  met,  and  land  that  had 
been  set  aside  for  future  building  some  years  later 
was  lost  to  foreclosures.  Through  much  devotion 
and  sacrifice  the  school  survived. 

The  First  Graduation 

On  June  16,  1932,  the  first  commencement  exer- 
cises were  held  in  Nathan  Lamport  Auditorium. 
The  first  graduating  class  was  made  up  of  19 
students  from  seven  states.  One  third  of  the  group 
was  from  outside  metropolitan  New  York  City, 
from  as  far  away  as  Portland,  Maine,  Los  Angeles, 
and  Seattle. 

The  editor  of  Masmid,  now  national  director 
emeritus  of  Torah  Umesorah,  Joseph  Kaminetsky, 
wrote  in  the  yearbook  a  feeling  that  must  have  been 
prevalent  that  day:  "We  have  been  pioneers  togeth- 
er in  a  great  educational  endeavor  of  our  people;  we 
have  striven  these  years  to  reach  a  common  goal, 
to  realize  the  same  idea:  the  harmonization  of 
secular  learning  with  our  own  Jewish  culture." 

Yeshiva  College  Today 

On  May  15,  1927,  an  article  entitled  "Can  Yeshiva 
College  Save  Orthodoxy"  appeared  in  a  Chicago 
newspaper.  It  concluded  with  these  words:  "It  is  an 
interesting  experiment,  this  attempt  to  harmonize 
Judaism  with  modern  thought.  Can  it  succeed  ful- 
Iv?  Time  will  tell." 


Today,  as  it  celebrates  its  50th  anniversary, 
Yeshiva  College  is  no  longer  "an  interesting  experi- 
ment"; it  is  the  realization  of  a  dream  envisioned  by 
its  founders.  The  school  has  grown  from  35  stu- 
dents to  940;  from  10  full-time  and  five  part-time 
faculty  to  192  full-time  and  98  part-time:  from  six 
areas  of  study  to  30;  and  it  has  graduated  4,978 
students. 

YC's  alumni  are  without  doubt  its  greatest 
resource.  During  its  50  year  history,  the  College 
has  produced  an  outstanding  cadre  of  alumni 
whose  presence  across  the  nation  is  felt  in  every 
major  Jewish  organization,  in  the  rabbinate,  the 
sciences,  government,  the  social  sciences,  busi- 
ness, and  industry— as  well  as  many  fields  in  Israel. 
A  survey  of  major  Jewish  day  schools  and  yeshivot 
throughout  America  would  reveal  a  virtual  "Who's 
Who"  of  YC  alumni  in  key  administrative  and 
teaching  posts.  Similarly,  it  is  imposible  to  speak  of 
the  Jewish  community's  foremost  leadership  with- 
out mentioning  Yeshiva  College. 

Yeshiva  College  began  as  a  pioneer  and  con- 
tinues as  such,  unique  among  schools  of  higher 
learning.  It  is  this  uniqueness  that  will  determine  its 
future.  As  it  moves  into  its  sixth  decade,  YC  has 
rededicated  itself  to  the  ideals  upon  which  it  was 
founded,  and  expanded  its  educational  boundaries 
to  encompass  the  ever-broadening  needs  of  its 
students.  The  "Great  Experiment"  continues.  In  the 
words  of  President  Lamm,  "we  shall  experiment 
and  revise  and  improve  until  we  have  found  the  best 
formula  to  provide  you  with  both  the  foundations  of 
a  career  and  that  intellectual  sensitivity  that  will 
make  you  well-rounded,  informed  men  of  culture."

To  commemorate  Yeshiva  College's  first  fifty  years  the  editors  of  Masmid  79  approached  four 
distinguished  alumni,  asking  them  to  share  with  us  their  recollections  of  their  days  as  undergraduates  — 
intellectual  concerns  on  campus,  student  activities  and  interests,  and  what  they  then  perceived  to  be 
Yeshiva's  state  and  direction.  Here  are  their  replies. 

Rabbi  Aaron  Sadowsky  was  born  in  Timkowitz,  a  small  town  in  White  Russia,  in  1904.  He  studied  at 
Yeshivas  Chafetz  Chaim  of  Radin,  at  Yeshivas  Kapula,  and  at  Yeshivas  Slutzk.  He  emigrated  to 
America  in  1922,  and  immediately  entered  Yeshivas  Rabbeinu  YItzchak  Elchanan,  then  situated  on 
East  Broadway  in  Manhattan.  The  yeshiva  supported  him,  as  it  did  many  others,  with  stipends,  and 
even  with  new  clothes  at  Holidays. 

Rabbi  Sadowsky  graduated  the  City  College  of  New  York  in  1930.  In  1932  he  became  the  rabbi  of 
Congregation  Beth  Isaac  in  Baltimore,  Md.,  a  position  he  held  until  the  outbreak  of  World  War  II.  At 
that  time  he  moved  to  South  Carolina,  serving  as  a  military  chaplain. 

After  the  war  Rabbi  Sadowsky  returned  to  Baltimore,  to  serve  his  congregation  for  twenty-two 
years.  In  1966,  Rabbi  Sadowsky  moved  to  Brooklyn,  N.Y.,  where  he  continues  to  teach. 

Rabbi  Sadowsky  writes: 

The  Yeshiva  University,  also  called  Rabbi  Isaac 
Elchanan  Theological  Seminary,  was  a  great  Jewish 
Orthodox  institution  of  learning  even  fifty  years  ago, 
during  the  days  of  my  study  at  the  yeshiva  (1922-29). 
Orthodox  Jewish  young  men  flocked  to  it's  doors  from 
many  parts  of  the  United  States.  This  yeshiva  was,  I 
believe,  the  first  modern  Orthodox  yeshiva  on  American 
soil.  It  had  a  faculty  of  the  best  Talmudic  scholars,  who  all 
came  here  from  Europe,  who  studied  at  the  great 
European  yeshivas,  and  were  anchored  in  the  great 
traditional  spirit  of  those  yeshivas. 

In  addition  to  the  religious  studies  which  were  taught  in 
the  first  half  of  the  day,  there  was  a  four  year  course  of 
high  school  for  secular  knowledges  in  English.  Thus  there 
was  founded  the  first  "synthesis"  Orthodox  Jewish  School 
of  Learning.  For  this  was  the  motto  of  Rabbi  Dr.  Bernard 
Revel  of  blessed  memory,  that  the  Yeshiva  should  prepare 
Jewish  leaders  for  Orthodox  Jewry  that  could  compete 
with  their  opposing  colleagues  of  the  Reform  and 
Conservative  Movements. 

Most  of  the  students,  if  not  all,  came  from  the  immigrant 
Orthodox  Jewish  Community,  who  still  remembered  their 
glorious  Jewish  past  and  hence  craved  that  their  children 
follow  them  in  the  right  step  of  Jewish  tradition.  The 
Yeshiva  was  the  right  place  for  them.  It  was  in  effect  not 
an  American  Yeshiva  but  a  traditional  Yeshiva  transported 
from  Europe  to  the  American  soil. 

As  far  as  I  can  remember  the  students  of  the  Yeshiva  did 
follow  the  recreation  of  the  American  secular  schools,  and 
they  organized  teams  to  play  baseball,  but  mostly  soccer, 
in  Van  Cortland  park.  But  I  don't  think  that  our  teams  went 
out  to  play  against  teams  of  other  schools.  We  were  not  as 
yet  so  Americanized. 

But  within  the  walls  of  the  school,  we  had  at  one  time  a 
Hebrew  speaking  club  which  led  to  the  publishing  of  a 
student  paper  in  Hebrew  and  in  English  called  "Hedenu."  I 
was  privileged  to  be  editor-in-chief  of  this  paper.  The 
articles  of  "Hedenu",  written  mostly  by  the  older  students 
of  Yeshiva,  were  sometimes  controversial,  and  in  effect  at 
one  time  one  of  the  writers  of  "Hedenu"  sharply  criticized 
the  management  of  the  Yeshiva  and  also  held  up  to 
criticism  one  of  the  great  supporters  of  the  Yeshiva.  There 
followed  a  kind  of  rebellion  in  the  Yeshiva.  But  the 


commotion  was  settled  and  calmed  down  quickly  by  Dr. 
Revel,  z"l,  and  everything  was  again  smooth. 

"It  was  in  effect  not  an  American 
Yeshiva,  but  a  traditional  Yeshiva 
transported  from  Europe  to  the  American 
soil" 

It  is  interesting  to  remark  that  in  my  time  practically  all 
the  graduating  rabbis  of  the  Yeshiva  came  from  Europe, 
as  I  did,  and  absorbed  most  of  their  Talmudic  knowledge 
at  the  European  Yeshivas,  as  American  Jewry  was  still  too 
young  to  produce  talmudic  scholars.  But  the  Yeshiva  did 
not  stand  still  and  in  my  graduating  class  of  41  rabbis, 
there  were  already  some  that  were  American  born. 

And  thus  the  Yeshiva  grew  by  leaps  and  bounds  until  it 
opened  the  first  Yeshiva  College  under  Orthodox  Jewish 
supervision.  Until  1929,  all  the  students  who  went  to 
college  attended  mostly  the  City  College  of  New  York  and 
it's  branches.  But  when  the  Yeshiva  College  opened,  there 
was  jubilation  and  hope  that  the  students  would  have  their 
own  Jewish  College,  and  would  not  have  to  wander 
somewhere  else. 

As  I  was  a  graduating  rabbi  of  1929,  not  only  did  I  have 
the  privilege  of  having  my  rabbinical  graduation  at  the  new 
Yeshiva  College  building,  but,  thank  G-d,  my  sons  studied 
at  the  Yeshiva  later  and  both  graduated  as  rabbis  and  as 
graduates  from  the  Yeshiva  College. 

Rabbi  Bernstein  writes: 

The  Masmid's  editor's  request  to  draw  comparisons 
between  Yehsiva  University  today  and  as  I  knew  it  as  a 
student  at  Yeshiva  College  and  the  Teachers  Institute,  the 
forerunner  of  Erna  Michael  College,  seemed  to  be,  at  first, 
a  relatively  easy  one  to  comply  with.  On  reflection, 
however,  the  definition  of  the  essential  differences,  as  well 
as  the  common  denomenator  have  proven  to  be  elusive 
and  even  difficult. 

In  1947,  I  knew  every  student  in  my  class,  almost  every 
student  in  the  college,  most  of  the  members  of  the  faculty, 
staff,  and  administration-from  Charley  Mayo,  who  was 
responsible  for  cleaning  the  Commentator  office  on  the 


Rabbi  Dr.  Louis  Bernstein  is  a  graduate  of  MTA  ('43),  YC  ('47),  Tl  ('47),  RIETS  ('50)  and  Bernard  Revel 
('77).  Along  with  teaching  at  EMC  and  Yeshiva  College,  he  is  the  rabbi  of  the  Young  Israel  of  Windsor 
Park  in  Queens,  N.Y.  Among  the  many  positions  he  has  held  are  the  Presidency  of  the  Rabbinical 
Council  of  America  and  Presidency  of  the  Religious  Zionists  of  America.  He  lives  in  Queens  with  his  wife

fourth  floor,  to  the  dean  and  president.  There  was  a  sense 
of  an  extended  family  that  touched  almost  every  person 
connected  with  Yeshiva  and  the  bonds  to  the  institution 
were  deep,  personal  and  intimate. 

The  college  faculty  was  almost  as  deeply  committed  to 
the  yeshiva  as  were  the  roshei  yeshiva  and  Teachers 
Institute  instructors.  Many  of  them  remained  with  the 
institution  until  the  very  end  of  their  days  or  teaching 
careers.  Although  in  1947  yeshiva's  financial  position  was 
improving,  many  of  the  faculty  had  stood  by  the  college 
during  the  darkest  and  bleakest  days  of  the  depression. 

The  yeshiva's  responsibility  for  the  student  was  more 
than  academic.  Almost  all  the  students  were  on  some  kind 
of  scholarship.  Before  the  holidays,  suits  were  provided 
for  the  needy.  Food  stipends  were  distributed  generously 
as  administration  and  student  leaders  took  the  initiative  in 
extending  such  aid.  Of  course,  as  from  the  very  beginning 
of  time,  there  were  differences  between  the  various 
components  of  the  school.  I  had  more  than  my  share  of 
difficulties  as  editor  of  The  Commentator.  But  these  were 
family  disputes  and  we  resented  outside  pressures  or 
intervention.  Senior  students  felt  a  direct  responsibility  for 
yeshiva's  welfare  and  frequently  cooperated  in  fund 
raising  activities. 

While  a  sense  of  mission  and  concern  for  yeshiva 
molded  this  ambience,  the  relative  smallness  of  the  school 
was  an  important  factor.  The  much  larger  student  body  of 
today,  scattered  through  several  buildings  can  not 
experience  the  intimacy  of  the  smaller  classes  where  all 
activities  including  high  school,  libraries,  labs,  dormitory, 
and  dining  room  were  pressed  into  the  main  building  and 
the  adjoining  Riets  Hall.  Yeshiva  was  just  beginning  to 
grow  then  and  some  of  the  offices  and  graduate  school 
classes  were  transferred  to  two  prefabricated  buildings 
obtained  from  government  surplus.  They  crowded  against 
both  sides  of  a  power  generator  for  trolley  cars  on 
Amsterdam  Avenue  on  the  site  where  the  library  now 
stands.  Students  and  faculty  travelled  the  subways  then 
and  the  A  train  and  the  walk  up  the  hill  frequently 
cemented  classroom  relationships. 

The  student  of  today  is  more  professional  minded.  To 
the  best  of  my  knowledge,  only  one  of  my  classmates  is  a 
physician  and  he  entered  medical  school  after  he  was 
ordained.  A  higher  percentage  of  students  considered  the 
rabbinate  and  cognate  professions  as  a  career. 
Subsequently,  there  was  a  higher  level  of  Jewish  interest. 
Almost  every  Yeshiva  College  student  marched  in  a 
protest  parade  in  1946  against  the  British  in  Palestine.  It 
was  the  first  of  its  kind  for  yeshiva  students  and  it  required 
a  mass  cut  because  the  dean  of  the  college  adamantly 
refused  to  grant  permission  to  attend. 

The  Yeshiva  College  student  of  today  is  more  affluent 
than  his  predecessor  three  and  four  decades  ago.  We  had 


many  more  history  and  philosophy  majors  but  much  less 
courses  to  choose  from.  We,  too,  had  one  man 
departments  but  we  did  not  view  that  as  a  particular 

"The  much  larger  student  body  of  today,

disadvantage.  There  were  no  P  or  F  courses  and  unlimited 
cuts  was  still  an  idea  whose  time  had  not  arrived.  It  was  a 
hungrier  generation  and  students  would  think  twice  before 
spending  their  parents'  hard  earned  money  in  a  movie 
instead  of  a  class.  Students  today  are  more  part  of  the 
American  culture  than  we  were.  We  were  first  and  at  most 
second  generation  Americans  and  today  they  are  mostly 
fourth. 

Students  today  travel  more  widely.  Many  a  Yeshiva 
College  student  has  been  in  Israel  (then  still  a  dream)  and, 
on  the  way  home,  managed  to  stop  in  Europe.  It  is  not 
uncommon  for  students  to  winter  vacation  in  Miami  and 
during  these  last  two  years  they  have  joined  the  crowd  in 
the  Carribean  Islands.  These  are  educational  experiences 
which  our  generation  could  not  even  dare  contemplate. 

I  think  our  Y.U.  student  today  is  at  least  as  observant  if 
not  more  so  than  our  generation.  Even  in  1947,  some  of 
our  students  defected  to  the  Jewish  Theological  Seminary 
and  one  of  my  classmates  is  even  a  professor  at  the 
Hebrew  Institute  of  Religion.  Today,  such  switches  are 
rare.  The  fact  that  many  of  our  graduates  have  joined  the 
faculty  and  administration  has  proven  to  be  a  very  positive 
factor.  Yeshiva  University  is  a  unique  institution  and 
whatever  negative  considerations  such  inbreeding  may 
have  in  the  general  academic  world,  for  yeshiva  it  is  a 
boon  and  blessing. 

Whereas  we  debated  whether  synthesis  was  possible  in 
America,  the  success  of  Yeshiva  University  is  manifested 
in  its  graduates.  The  development  of  the  professional 
schools  has  added  new  dimensions,  new  challenges.  The 
student  today  must  meet  the  challenges  of  growth  which 
tend  to  osbcure  the  mission.  They  can  expect  little  or  no 
help  from  the  secular  faculty  far  removed  from  its  goals 
and  an  administration  struggling  to  meet  the  ravages  of 
inflation  and  inevitable  bureaucratic  incompetency.  There 
is  no  doubt  in  my  mind,  however,  that  the  students  of 
today  and  tomorrow  will  meet  that  challenge.  171

'Zaz'  Zazula  in  '61 


Dr.  Zazula  writes: 

.  .  .  reflections  on  Yeshiva.  In  preparation  for  this 
"assignment",  I  re-read  Masmid  1961,  and  think  that  two 
quotes  from  that  volume  answer  the  questions  posed.  The 
first  describes  student  concerns  and  interests: 

"...  The  Commentator  settled  down  to  its  avowed  task 
of  the  year  —  that  of  arousing  the  student  body  and  the 
Administration  to  the  dire  need  of  improving  the 
curriculum  in  the  religious  divisions  of  the  University. 

In  an  editorial  entitled  "With  Malice  Towards  None", 
these  divisions  were  scored  on  their  failure  to  provide  an 
adequate  spiritual  guidance  program  for  the  students  and 
different  plans  were  suggested.  Unfortunately,  although 
the  editorial  provoked  wide  controversy,  not  much  was 
done  this  year  to  further  this  goal. 

In  other  fields  of  news  reporting  the  students  were  kept 
abreast  of  the  latest  developments.  Features  included  .  .  . 
articles  on  problems  confronting  the  student  body,  such 
as  penalties  for  overcutting  and  the  bechina  system,  as 
well  as  the  regular  features  containing  a  timely  peg. 

A  three-part  series  on  "Synthesis"  was  printed  and  a 
regular  column  by  the  editor-in-chief  was  reinstated.  The 
sports  staff  spotlighted  various  members  of  the  athletic 
team,  and  to  further  the  cause  of  Zionism  at  Yeshiva  an 
article  on  Israel  was  included  in  every  issue." 

Sound  familiar?  In  reading  the  April  and  May  1979 
editions  of  Commentator,  I  too  had  a  sense  of  Deja  Vu: 
New  Dean,  controversy  over  an  accounting/business 
major,  dissatisfaction  with  the  pre-med  major,  concern 
over  the  effects  of  Yeshiva's  graduate  schools  on  the 
College,  the  status  of  Yom  Haatzmaut,  etc.  As  the  saying 
goes;  'Nothing  new  under  the  sun.' 

"Where  did  we  think  Yeshiva  was  heading?"  The 
second  quote  is  from  Masmid  61 's  epilouge: 

"As  we  leave  Yeshiva,  ready  to  go  along  our  many 
ways,  the  University  is  in  the  throes  of  a  massive  building 
program.  Across  the  street  from  the  new  dorm,  now 
beginning  to  wax  ancient,  a  new  building  is  rising  —  a 
classroom-administration  building  ready  to  house  the 
planner  of  future  undertakings.  And  in  midtown,  plans  are 
being  prepared  for  other  edifices  to  house  an  evergrowing 
student  body. 

And  so  it  goes  on  and  on,  the  same  old  story  of 
expansion  and  progress.  But  for  what  purpose?  Is  it  just  to 
increase  Yeshiva's  prestige,  and  through  it  that  of 
American  Jewry,  in  the  academic  community? 


"When  Yeshiva  expands,  it  does  so  with 
a  purpose.  Progress  is  important  in  any 
institution,  but  here  at  Yeshiva  it  is 
progress  rooted  in  tradition  that  counts." 

MASMID  '61 


Perhaps  this  is  what  some  people  are  hoping  for  — 
another  Harvard  out  of  a  divinity  school,  with  no  religious 
division  to  speak  of. 

But  this  is  not  Yeshiva's  purpose,  nor  that  of  its 
administrators  .  .  .  And  while  the  JSP  student  (JSP: 
Present  day  JSS  —  Ed.)  and  many  of  his  fellow  comrades 
in  the  other  religious  divisions  may  still  not  be  able  to 
understand  the  synthesis  that  is  Yeshiva  University  —  a 
University  that  requires  the  learning  of  Talmud  as  well  as 
secular  science  —  it  is  there.  It  exists  in  every  individual. 

When  Yeshiva  expands,  it  does  so  with  a  purpose. 
Progress  is  important  in  any  institution,  but  here  at 
Yeshiva  it  is  progress  rooted  in  tradition  that  counts." 

Somewhat  naive?  Maybe  —  at  the  time.  But  looking  back 
with  a  perspective  of  eighteen  years,  and  having  recently 
taught  at  the  college  for  a  number  of  semesters,  I  truly  feel 
that  it  is  precisely  this  undefinable  "synthesis"  which  sets 
Yeshiva  apart  and  somehow,  despite  ourselves  —  and  the 
administration  —  manages  to  permeate  and  influence  our 
lives  and  futures. 
Mr.  Ribner  writes: 

While  the  nation's  college  campuses  rumbled  with 
protest  during  the  60's,  we  at  Yeshiva  were  becoming 
increasingly  self  conscious  about  our  calm,  almost 
untouched  oasis  smack  in  the  core  of  the  Big  Apple.  It  felt 
almost  as  if  the  rest  of  the  academic  world  had  somehow 
managed  to  thrust  itself  into  a  position  of  national  import 
and  all  we  could  muster  was  the  energy  to  watch  the 
proceedings  on  television.  During  the  years  when  Viet 
Nam  became  the  knee  jerk  expression  of  all  that  was  venal 
and  corrupt  in  government,  80%  of  our  student  body 
signed  a  petition  supporting  fully  the  administration's  Far 
East  policy,  under  the  impression,  misguided  by  hindsight 
only,  that  we  would  thereby  insure  a  favorable  Mideast 
policy  from  those  same  national  leaders.  Those  students

David  Ribner  is  cretainly  no  newcomer  to  the  Yeshiva  scene,  having  graduated  Yeshiva  College  in 
1968,  been  ordained  by  RIETS  in  1972,  and  graduated  from  the  Bernard  Revel  Graduate  School  in 
1972  and  the  Wurzweiller  School  of  Social  Work  in  1974.  He  served  as  the  spiritual  leader  of 
Congregation  Beth  Tefillah  in  Paramus,  N.J.  from  1971-74,  and  is  currently  Clinic  Director  at  the  South 
Beach  Psychiatric  Center  in  Brooklyn,  N.Y.  He  lives  in  Brooklyn  with  his  wife  and  child. 


who  sincerely  opposed  the  war  were  held  to  be  at  best  the 
disloyal  opposition. 

The  single  international,  and  for  us,  personal  issue 
which  should  have  galvanized  the  campus  into  united 
action  was  the  Six  Day  War  in  1967.  Unfortunately,  what 
little  response  we  could  muster  was  limited  to  participation 
in  those  demonstrations  organized  by  the  Jewish  umbrella 
groups.  We  thousand  men  of  Yeshiva  College 
distinguished  ourselves  by  being  indistinguishable  from 
anyone  else.  Again  a  few  students  followed  the  dictates  of 
conscience  and,  ignoring  the  perils  of  missed  exams  and 
poor  grades,  chose  the  greater  peril  of  going  to  Israel 
during  the  conflict.  We  admired  them,  but  only  from  afar. 
So  much  for  our  soberly  reasoned  and  ethically  motivated 
activist  response  to  the  international  scene. 

Internally,  we  conducted  ourselves  in  much  the  same 
way  as  had  Yeshiva  students  for  the  past  several  decades. 
Our  own  "paper  chase"  continued  to  dominate  all  other 
activities,  particularly  for  the  majority  of  the  classes  who 
had  chosen  to  aim  for  careers  in  law  or  medicine.  We 
perceived  the  academic  quality  of  the  institution  to  lie 
somewhere  between  good  and  mediocre,  certainly  not 
excellent,  but  occasionally  inspired  by  a  particularly 
successful  faculty  member.  By  and  large,  the  graduate 
schools  still  looked  favorably  upon  Yeshiva  College 
students,  and  all  of  us  took  for  granted  that  an 
undergraduate  degree  held  little  intrinsic  value.  We 
comforted  ourselves  with  the  thought  that  the  long  days  of 
interminable  lectures  would  enable  us  to  handle  any  future 
educational  endeavor. 

If  an  area  of  general  dissatisfaction  existed,  it  focused 
on  the  almost  unconscienably  poor  choice  and  level  of 
Jewishly  oriented  courses,  such  as  Bible,  History  and 
Philosophy.  Bible  courses  which  stressed  translation. 
History  courses  which  differed  little  from  those  taught  in 
high  school  and  Philosophy  courses  in  which  notes  from 


"To  most  of  us  Yeshiva  College 
represented,  and  perhaps  still  does,  the 
essence  of  undeveloped  potential  on 
which  the  future  of  American  and 
possible  world  Jewry  precariously 
balances." 


previous  years  were  used  by  so  many  students,  secure  in 
the  knowledge  that  few  significant  changes  in  course 
content  would  be  forthcoming.  We  grumbled,  some  of  us 
even  found  our  ignorance  embarrassing,  but  we  never 
pressed  for  change.  Revamped  courses  would  have  meant 
the  risk  of  more  work  and  lower  marks  —  why  blow  a  sure 
thing? 

Those  of  us  who  cared  or  thought  about  the  future  of 
the  college  tended  to  leave  graduation  convinced  that, 
with  rare  exceptions,  things  would  remain  the  same. 
Classes  were  growing,  buildings  were  rising,  the  budget 
crisis  had  yet  to  reveal  itself,  at  least  to  the  public.  Some 
lenthening  of  sideburns  represented  the  only 
manifestation  of  countercultural  inroads,  both  physically 
and  philosophically.  Few  of  us  left  with  warm  regard  for 
the  Yeshiva,  and  of  those  graduates  with  whom  I  maintain 
contact,  few  have  developed  positive  feelings  in  the 
interim.  To  most  of  us  Yeshiva  College  represented,  and 
perhaps  still  does,  the  essence  of  undeveloped  potential 
on  which  the  future  of  American  and  possible  world  Jewry 
precariously  balances.  Such  a  situation  is  both  frightening 
and  depressing  and  will  change  only  when  the  class  of 
'68,  the  class  of  '79  and  all  other  graduating  classes 
initiate  the  concerned  involvement  the  college  has  so  long 
needed.
