...might well be proud of, but by comparison tends to be made damning. I refer in particular to your Nov. 10 issue which captions a photo of Samuel Untermyer as "Jew Untermyer" and one of Luther as "German Luther." Certainly you are aware that being a Jew is a creed not a nationality. Why not "Protestant Luther'' or whatever his creed may be? Have we not suffered sufficient bigotry without having so unbiased a publication as yours add wood to the already too long burning fire...
...Chancellor Hitler, he might have been expected to side with the Sportpalast "reformers." Instead, caught by the news from Berlin while traveling in southern Germany, he sent a telegram of strong reproof: "I speak only as leader of the Church who is responsible for the preservation of the creed before God. ...

The foundation is to be placed under the supervision of three trustees, and when the classical library has been completed the income of the endowment is to be devoted to the encouragement of archaeology and classical studies without distinction as to sex, race, nationality, colour, or creed. Through this splendid benefaction Dr. Loeb has left to posterity something which will nobly perpetuate his name. It is a monument which, though less conspicuous than the structures of brick or stone which commemorate the famous names of the past, has the advantage of transcending the limitation of a local...
