The Jubilee events will give historic
| Significance to the day on which Rabbi
Isaac Mayer Wise achieved his desire
for modern seminlnry Of Jewish learn
ing. The ceremony of the opening Of
the Hebrew Union College took place
on the Sunday of October 3, 1919. in
the Temple of the Bene Ieshurun Con-
grcgntion in Cincinnati II was the
tangible response to call first made by
DIR. Wise a quarter Of a century before
1T Is lamentable but true he wrote
In that onening call, 'that il We do not
unite ourselves betlmes to devise n
practicable system for the ministry and
religious education at large, II we do
not stimulate all the congregations to
establish good schools and to institute
reform in their synagogs on modern
Jewish principles. the House of the
Lord will be desolate or nearly so in
less than ten years.
That was the first note In the long
campaign he waged for twenty five
years for the establishment OF sem
mary for American Rabbis. Ccaselessly
from that time on, he urged that the
greatest need for Jew and Judaism
was that they should be capably led
and worthily represented. The basic
4 motfve which brought Into being the
Union of American Hebrew Congrega-
tions was the establishment of an
American Rabbinical Seminary. This
was the main objective Of the conven-
tion of American congregat tlonal lead
ers at Cincinnati in July, 1878, at
the convention of the Union held in
Cleveland in July, 1874. a plan for Or
| ganiZatiOn and establishment of the
contemplated Theological institute"
was reported, in which the name He
brew Union College" was used for the
first time.
II was resolved that 100000 would
have to be raised before the college
conld be opened. Two years earlier, DR..
Wise had obtained from Henry Adler
