Institute has (1933) some 60 graduates serving congregations and educational
and social institutions throughout the land. Its 11th year began with a
registration of 40 students.

to maintain themselves during their course of study. Nine scholarships are
available to especially qualified students. The Department of Field
Activities assists students and graduates in obtaining places. The Jewish
