...gift of Charles Phelps Taft was the largest yet made by a gentile to the Hebrew Union College, which is raising a $5,000,000 endowment fund. Mr. Schiff also gave $50,000 to the Hebrew Union College, as did Henry Morgenthau, Samuel Untermyer, William (cinema) Fox, Mrs. Felix M. Warburg,† Ludwig Vogelstein; Daniel, Murry, Solomon R.
