...Living. Brandeis Institute is not associated with the university, although it does owe its name and some early encouragement to the late Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis. The guiding genius of the institute for three decades has been a burly, white-haired, Ben-Gurion-like man named Shlomo Bardin, now 72 and still undisputed director. The institute reflects Bardin's own eclectic background. Born in the Ukraine, he emigrated to Palestine in 1919, founded a technical high school and the Haifa Nautical School, came to the U.S. for graduate study in education at Columbia University. On a visit...
Obviously, the institute cannot claim sole credit for this kind of record among the graduates. Still, the Brandeis experience is beginning to inspire similar projects elsewhere. At least four other U.S. cities are planning their own versions of Brandeis, according to Bardin. A similar setup for European Jews-possibly in Denmark-is also contemplated, and even one in Israel. In Los Angeles, the Rev. James Jones, black minister of the Westminster Presbyterian Church, is searching out land and backers for a black Brandeis. He and other Bardin admirers think that the idea could be useful as well for Mexican Americans...
Jewish Prep School. A few observers have suggested that the success of Brandeis depends on the charismatic presence of Bardin, but the sociological survey, Bardin happily points out, disputes this: alumni mentioned the Brandeis concept far more often than they mentioned him. Bardin is, however, not finished with his own contribution. This week, on the 2,200-acre Brandeis grounds, construction begins on a four-year Jewish prep school, the first of its kind in the U.S., which will open in the fall of 1972. Jew and non-Jew, black and white, rich and poor (subsidized by scholarships) will...
Died. Ivan Pavlovich Bardin, 76, vice president of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, onetime (1910-11) worker in U.S. steel mills, who directed the construction (1929-32) of the mammoth Kuznetsk steel plant as a key part of the first five-year plan, helped boost Russia's annual steel output from 4,000,000 tons before World War I to its present 60 million, played a large part in the development of Sputnik; in Moscow...
...Louis D. Brandeis, who had felt all his life that Jews can become better Americans by becoming better Jews. Originally a cattle ranch and hunting lodge, its barns and outbuildings were converted into studios, social centers and meeting halls. The institute tries, in the words of Director Dr. Shlomo Bardin, 54, "to open up for our people a heritage that is thousands of years old-by prayer, by music, by drama, by art-by living life in [terms of] 'we' rather than...
