STATE COLLEGE, PA.', FRIDAY, MAY 22, 193 G
Hillel Foundation
Will Assist Nazi
Refuges To Study
Group Plans To Bring
Jewish Student
To Campus.
Various Groups Pledge
Over $4OO to , Student
Through the efforts, of the
Foundation here plans are now un
derway to bring a' German, refugee
Jewish student to the Fenn , State
campus next fall in order -to study
here for , a Year. Over $4OO has al
ready 'been pledged by various stu
dent groups and Rabbi EphraiM
FischOff, who is leading the move
ment, expects to contact other inde
pendent groups before the close of
College in an effort to enlist their aid
and support. '
Following `a meeting, of the W. S.
G. A.thig week, Gene. C. Zeigler '37,
president,
.renorted this body was
ready to pledge $100; that Cwens,
sophomore honorary' society, would
pledge 'another $100; and that a Tied
tion for free tuition fm• the German
atudent.would be sent to the admini
stration.
Although no plans have been made
as- to whether a man or wonian stu
dent will' be brought here, Miss Zeig
ler said that the W. S. G. A. felt that
a girl, living in a dormitory, would
be able to make more contacts with
Students than would a man living in a
fraternity. •
Approximately, $2OO has been .rais
ed by the four Jewish fraternities
here. and contributions from individu
al Students; faculty, and townspeople
bring the entire total, to nearly $5OO.
Joseph P. Swift 'so; retiring . presi
dent of Interfraternity . Council; pre
sented the plan, to that body 'Tuesday '
night and an official endorsement of,
it was passed.. .
"It is to be hoped that many stu
dents, activated by a deep loyalty, to
the fundamental American tradition
of ; demoeraeY, libersilith,:iind= civil
liberties, 'Will:, - denionstrate this feel
ing- by .supporting this humanitarian,
venture," . Di. Fischoff said. "We will
w I
welcome any contribution , - however,,l
small, - that any individual -or group
may wish , to make in order to show!
their sympathy with the movement.'
"We are not so much interested in
the .money which a group pledges
,as
We are 'in the . spirit which' it mani
fests in -backing such a movement,"
Dr. Fischoff said.. "By. this action
Penn State will joiti'the colleges who
have. thus demonstrated their oppo
sition to the policies of Nazi Ger
many." '
' Enough money must•be raised, in
order to bring the student here, to
convince U. S. immigration officials
that he will not become a dependent.
A bureau in New York City which
directs the work of assisting German
Jewish students to study in universi
ties throughout the world will notify
the German government and arrange
to bring the student here.

that dozens of frost-bitten fingers
were sacrificed in snapping at snow.
But rumor may be wrong; there may
not be that many. •

Reward of 4 - 0 Years' Service
Prof. Espenshade has spent nearly
forty years in the service of the Col
lege. He was horn near . Lancaster
in 1869, and after attending•the pub
lic schools there, went to Wesleyan
University, from where he was grad
uated With honors.
He was awarded a University Fel
lowship for honors in English at Co
lumbia, where he attended graduate
school. He taught at. Mercersburg
Academy, the Chauncey School of
Easton, and Barnard in New York
City.
in 1898, Professor ESpenshade came
to Penn State. Until 1907, he taught
English, and in that year, he became
supervisor of a "prep" school on the
campus. Two years later he became
registrar, in which position lie re-
mined until 1923. Many of the poli
cies of admission now , in effect were
originated •by 'Professor
,Espenshado
while he was registrar.,
Until 1925 he was assistant to the
president. However, the call to the
classroom could not be ignored, add
he returned to teaching in his pros
ant position. • While in the registrar's I
Position, he wrote his book, "Pennsyl
; vania Place Names," which was pub
lished in 1925. The book, telling of
the derivation of the names of each
town in the state, has given other
states . the idea to conduct similar
Studies.
