He Knew Us When
FROM THE DAY WE WERE BORN, Frank Goldman of Lowell, new international president of B'nai B'rith,
has had a warm spot in his heart for Greater Lynn Lodge. Here is a new photo taken on Feb. 22, 1941 — hitherto unpublished — showing Mr. Goldman, right (who was then a vice president of the Supreme Lodge) presenting the Lodge charter to Dr. William E. Shub, left (who was then our first vice president). Mr. Goldman
was one of the principal speakers at the Lodge Charter Night banquet at the Hotel Edison a little more than
five years ago.
Fewer Jews

In College
WASHINGTON, D.C., (B'nai B'rith
News Service) — Jewish students
constitute 8.2 percent of the total
enrollment in colleges and universities of the United States and
Canada, according to preliminary
findings of the Decennial Census
of Jewish College Students, Leon
J. Obermayer, chairman of the
B'nai B'rith Vocational Service
Commission, has announced.
The percentage is based on enrollment data of 1,565 schools out
of 1,720 which akes the census

though they are expected to have

Frank Goldman Elected
B'nai B'rith President
B'nai B'rith lodges and chapters  in District One have hailed
with genuine satisfaction the election of Frank Goldman of Lowell
as international president of B'nai B'rith at the final session of the
Supreme Lodge triennial convention in Washington last month.
Mr.  Goldman is  personally well
known to several of the local
members, particularly those who
attended the lodge's charter night
dinner in February, 1941, and at
subsequent ADL and war service
meetings in Boston. Similarly, delegates of the Lynn lodge and chapter saw and met Mr. Goldman at
all the conventions of the district
in the past five years. The new
president of B'nai B'rith was one
of the principal guests at, the lodge
charter night banquet Feb. 22,
1941.
He was particularly active in
war service work of the Order during World War II and was one of
the first to see exceptional merit
in the "Serve-A-Ship" program as
originally suggested to B'nai B'rith
by Colonel Elliott A. Niles of Boston, former head of war service in
District One.

Joint Social
Ends Season
On June W
Lodge and Chapter will
join hands for the season's
finale — a cold cut supper
and "Amateur Night" entertainment — in the Center
cafeteria and Garfield Room,
Thursday night, June 19, at
7 o'clock sharp.
Plans are somewhat indefinite,
as this issue of The Times-Spotlight goes to press, but the committee on arrangements promises
a lot of fun, in the traditional spirit of B'nai B'rith socials. Double
postal-cards are again being mailed out to members of both Lodge
and Chapter to insure reservations
for the supper.
The supper will be served at nominal cost. It is being prepared by
members of the Chapter, with the
assistance of Lodge committee
aides.
"Amateur Night" promises to be
a howl. A dozen acts are planned,
including singers, comedians, magicians and gagsters. This will be
strictly "home stuff", with every
indication that the audience will
enjoy it more than anything seen
at regular meetings in months.
The joint committee includes:
Helen Millman, Morris Sogoloff,
Helen Zimman, Rozelda Olanoff,
Lillian Katz, Estelle Cohen, Sylvia
Weinswig and Abe Brody, Ed Jaffee and Bernard Wenn.
Convention
Highlights
By ABE BRODY
The Toronto B'nai B'rith deserves
heaps of praise for the super job
as host . . . Everything was done
to make the visiting delegates feel
comfortable . . . Our Abe Glovsky's
message as retiring president was
the shortest in convention history
. .  .  and good, too.
We're certain that Frank Goldman will make an able successor
to the late Henry Monsky . . . The
delegates were deeply impressed
with his address at the principal
dinner of the convention.
It's pretty certain that the North
Shore will be permitted to set up
its own zone within the Central
New England Council ... The Sa-
