husbands The inference here of course is that
Jewish men place high premium on academic
achievement.
An interesting difference between Jewish coll
lege graduates and their non-Jewish counterpartS
is the educational background of their parents
About % percent of all the graduates reported
both parents having attended college, while the
Jewish segment reported only II percent. This dis
parity stems from the fact that many Jewish girls
come from immigrant homes whose heads had no
educational opportunities. On the other hand more
Jewish college graduates married Pho. husbands
The Jewish ratio in this respect was ten percent

reflection of Jewish striving for higher education
Jewish women students seem to be less inter-
ested in sports than their non-Jewish college
mates. On the other hand they show a marked
superiority of interest in social and religious activ
tiles, and significantly larger ratio of Jewish
graduates than of non-Jews plans to become social
workers, psychologists medical service workers
and journalists An interesting differentiation be-
tween the types" attending college is to be found
in the fact that hardly any Jewish college girls
come from farm families Also while eight per-
cent of all Catholic graduates and percent of all
Protestant graduates were daughters of skilled
workers. only percent of the Jewish graduates
report their fathers as skilled craftsmen.

Why do girls go to college? Some GO because a
college education offers them the best opportunity
for a lifetime career in some occupation. Others
because they believe a college degree is good
matrimonial asset. Some wade through school be-
cause of the social prestige flowing from the
ownership of degree. Some do so out of defer
ence to parents and others because they believe
that college education is the best training for
motherhood.
How do our Jewish feminine college graduates
compare and differ with non-Jewish graduates?
Since matrimony is the outstanding quest of our
feminine friends, it is well perhaps to record first
that the marriage rate of Jewish liberal arts grad
yates is higher than among non-JewS A sample
of these graduates from 1916 to 1949 shows that by
1852 eight out of ten Jewish girls were married,
as against ratio of out OF 10 among Catholics
and out of 10 among ProteStantS. However, Jew
ish girls were tagging behind their non-Jewish
friends in starting family. The most plausible
explanation for the phenomenon of Jewish girls
rushing to the altar in greater numbers than their
classmates of other faiths is the Jewish attitude
toward spinsterhood
Interestingly enough the young ladies who had
an or grade in college showed marked superb
ority over their grade co-religionists in getting

of would-be Jewish immigrants

He wanted to retain the Act, Brit

only effective way to exclude

SURVEY AT 20
The day this is being written is
this Mr.. Segal's birthday. He
hasn't been saying much about it
but a LOT Of people have discover
ed the number Of his years and
have been shouting birthday
greetings.
Segal is painfully mindful of
what the Book of Psalms says
about him and all others of his
years: "The days of our years
are three score years and ten;
and if by reason of strength they
be four score years, yet is their
strength labor and sorrow; for it
is soon cut off and we fly away"
The Psalmist seems to suggest
that Segal is about through. at
three score and ten. Three score
and ten is. Of Psalms and tradi-
ton. the full span of life but
Segal is disputing the Psalmist:

Segal may be kidding himself,
yet he seems to be sustained by
certain facts: His good humor that
still can laugh at people, includ-
ing himself. So he says: Maybe it
isn't true that I am 70. Some con-
fusion of the calendar, doubtless.
I am more like so.
Yet. as reporter. who through
all these years. has tried to be

as far as he knew.
So, making the best of the
whole thing, he decides to use his
birthday for columnar purposes.
Yes, he says, he is a Jewish col
umnist should, on his 10th birth
day, survey himself as a Jew. It's
a fitting moment for that.
The main question of such a
survey is: What does being a Jew
mean to him at 70? So Segal in
spects himself carefully and dis
covers that being a Jew doesn't
mean the same thing it meant to
his father when he arrived at the
age Of 20.
Segal'S father who died at 81
last January became more Ortho-
dox as he advanced into ripe
years. He wrapped the folds of
tradition around him tightly. He
made a sharp separation between
himself and people of other re-
Igions, even between himself and
Reform Jews. His poignant regret
was this son sought God in a
Reform temple, where, he was
quite sure God never would go.

QUESTION: Why is that the
women of the household do not
partake of the wine of the Satur-
day night Havdalah ceremony as
they do of the wine of the Friday
evening and Saturday Kiddush
ceremony?
ANSWER: A number of rea-
sons are advanced for this curious
differentiation. Quite popular is
the reasoning which claims that
Adams wife, Eve, fed him wine
which made him drunk (the for
hidden fruit of Eden having been
the fruit of the grape vine) when
he sinned in the days of creation.
On Saturday night the occasion of
Adams first experience with
darkness is remembered. This ex-
perience was blamed on his sin
in the Garden of Eden. Women
thus do not partake of the wine
because of the reluctant memory
of the sin of Eden. Others claim
this to be so because of the legal
difference between the Kiddush
which is a direct requirement Of
women as it is Of men and Hav-
dalai, whose requirements Of wo-
men is questionable and accord
ing to some authorities not re-
quired of women. Some claim that
the family as a whole does not
partake of the wine of the Hav-
dalai ceremony, since the cere-
mony is one of separation and not
of union as the Kiddush is. Thus,
the family as a whole does not
taste the wine as a symbol of the
fact that it does not desire to have
any feeling of segregation in it's
midst. The Kiddush which joins
man and the Sabbath gives a feel
ing of closenesS to all while the
Havdalah which separates man
from the Sabbath allows for a
feeling of segregation.

QUESTION: Why is the bless
ing over the light made after the
blessing over the spices on Sat-
urdaY nights Havdalah ceremony.
instead Of before the blessing Of
the spices?
ANSWER: The sequence of the
initials Of these blessings form a
certain sequence, which would be
disturbed were the order re-
versed. The most interesting rea-
son, however, is given those who
compare the strength of the
senses involved in the four bless
ings of the Saturday night Hav-
dalai ceremony. First comes the
blessing over the wine which is
the sense of taste, the strongest
of the four. Second, comes the
blessing over spices which is the
sense of smell. Third, the blessing
over the light which implies the
sense of vision and fourth, the
blessing over Havdalah which is
a matter of intellect and bears
less physical intensity than the
other three. Thus, the blessings
are arranged in the order of their
intensity in terms of T1hvcica1
