Single broadside, 45.5 cm. “From the Menorah Bulletin. ” “Two weeks later, Norman Hapgood, on the eve of his sailing to Denmark as United States Minister, gave a fascinating talk on ‘The League of Nations and Palestine’ followed by a most interesting discussion. The following Sunday, at Columbia University, the Society held a Forum on ‘The Peace Conference’ at which the chief speakers were Arthur K. Kuhn, American legal adviser at Paris, and Walter Lippmann, assistant to Colonel House at Paris and editor of the New Republic. ” The Menorah Association and Menorah Journal were a “U. S. Jewish campus organization and periodical. Both grew out of the Harvard Menorah Society, a Jewish campus group formed in 1906 by Henry Hurwitz, at the time an undergraduate at the university. Influenced by the ‘new humanism’ then being propounded in Cambridge by such figures as William James and George Santayana, the society sought to pursue the study of humanistic values in Judaism and to develop a positive intellectual relationship to Jewish tradition and belief. Similar groups soon formed on other American campuses, and in 1913 an intercollegiate Menorah Association was established which eventually numbered some 80 chapters. The association became largely defunct in the 1930s, but as the first attempt to establish an intercollegiate Jewish body of its kind it helped pave the way for such later organizations as the B’nai B’rith Hillel societies” (Jewishvirtuallibrary.org 2017) .
