Wing of Hillel House
CONSTRUCTION of the new wing to the 'FMlel House is well
underway as shown above. The new building will be ready for
use in the fall.
Hilid House Nears
Completion 40/ Wing
Construction on the new $200,000 Hillel House is well underway
with the roof on the new wing being laid.
The building is being erected by the combined efforts of the
B'nai B'rith Lodges and Chapters in Pennsylvania. Each Pennsly
vania district has been assigned a quota, and the campaign is under
the direction of Albert M. Cohen, president of the B'nai B'rith Hillel
Foundation building fund of Penn- •
sylvania.
The Hillel Foundation is part of
a 'national organization devoted
to cultural, religious, and counsel
ing service among Jewish students
at American universities.
Student Enrollment Increases
"An ever-growing student
body" is one of the main reasons
for the larger quarters, according
to Rabbi Benjamin M. Kahn, di
rector of the Penn State Hillel
Foufidation.
The increase of students at the
end of World War II necessitated
greater facilities. When the foun
dation came to Penn State in
1935, it was located in a second
story office downtown. Th e
growth of the Jewish student
body necessitated another move
to the present quarters at 133 W.
Beaver avenue, in 1939. Since
then, the number of JeWish stu
dents has grown from 600 to over'
1000.
Plans for the foundation, at
250 S. Miles street, include the
remodeling of a three story house
and the addition of a new wing.
The new building will have a
main lounge, music room, offices,.
,a 2500 volume library, two class
rooms, a recreation room, kitchen,
receptionist's office, and a cloak
room.
The auditorium will have a
seating -capacity of 400, with a
stage, dressing rooms, 'understage
storage space, facilities for mo
tion picture projection, and a
built-in public address system.
Lodges Raising $25,000 •
The synagogue will adjoin the
auditorium, so the seating facili
ties of both rooms can be com
bined by removing the partition.
The capacity of the synagogue
will be 200. A raised pulpit will be
