Show moreThe Trustees and Officers of the Congregation have been anxious to arrange some function by which and through which the congregation might evidence its love for and its appreciation of Judge Cohen. The Judge graciously, but firmly, declined to permit us to arrange a reception or a banquetin his honor. He made it very clear to us that he wished no present nor any of those things by which we commonly give tangible evidence of our desire to show marked attention to him whom we delight to honor. Fully appreciative, Judge Cohen strongly intimated that the community had on so many occasions show him such marked and friendly attention that he might well feel that his life has been long and full of honor and under the circumstances he begged us to let the occasion of his eightieth birthday pass without marking is by any personal attention. There is nothing we can do for him personally that he would have us do. It is a coindidence that on this very day we are engaged in consideration of the needs of an intitution intimately bound up with the life of Judge Cohen. There was evident in our discussion with him a more than deep interest on his part in the cause for which our eloquent friend, Mr. Hays, has come to plead. The Hebrew Union College and the Union of American-Hebrew Concregation are very near to the hearts of Judge and Mrs. Cohen. Judge#2 Cohen was present at its organization. He attended the graduation exercises of the first class. None among the laymen of the country was stronger than he in his support of Dr. Isaac Meyer Wise, its founder. Its earnest advocate always Judge Cohen recognized the college as basic to the growth and development of American Israel. He was its staunch friend, when its friends were few, and he is its loyal advocate now. Pittsburgh collectively has been generous in its support of the College and the Union, but that support has come from a few. Out of the membership of ten hundred and thirty, less than 200 are among its contributors. Judge Cohen feels as we do - that every member of the congregation should be a contributor to the College. He has refused every form of personal recognition that we are able to suggest, but he has consented to have us link his name and the happy occasion that tomorrow marks to the drive that we are inaugurating to get 100% of our members as contributors to the Union and the College. The Board of Trustees would like every one of you not already a subscriber to respond to the call that will come to you my mail tomorrow, by pledging $1.00 - $5.00 - $10.00 - $25.00 - $50.00 - or as much more as you please - the more the better - for no amount is too large nor too small as your annual contribution to the College. We want you to subscribe to its maintenance exactly in the same manner and spirit in which you subscribe to the congregations support - #3 in accordance with your ability. It is inconceivable that every member of the congregation is not in hearty sympathy with the purposes of the Union. Any who are not have no moral right to continue within the congregation. We hope that all who have not previously subscribed will do very promptly. Let this be a tribute to Rodef Shalom, to the man who for sixty years has served the cause of Israel in Pittsburgh and in America. This much the Judge will accept of us. Can we offer less as a mark of our appreciation and of the respect in which we hold him? From out of the first $6,000.00 so contributed the Board of Trustees proposes that the Josiah Cohen Scholarship founded by his friends in Rodef Chalom be established in the Hebrew Union College. If those of us not already subscribers do our part we will be honoring him who refuses at our hands any other honor. We will be recognizing a cause for which our late Rabbi, Dr. J. Leonard Levy, of blessed memory, did such yoeman service. We will be returning to the Alma Mater of our present Rabbi a bit of recognition for what the College has done for us. Above all, we will be strengthening an institution which is the back-bone of American Israel and again will we be an inspiration - as we have often been before - to the other Jewish congregations of the country. A sitter once asked Whistler how it was possible to paint in the growing duck as he often did. The reply was - "As the light fades and shadows deepen, all the petty and exacting details vanish; everything trivial disappears, and I see things as they are in great strong masses; the buttons are lost, but the garment remains; the#4 garment is lost but the sitter remains; the sitter is lost but the shadow remains; the shadow is lost but the picture remains, - and that, night cannot efface from the painter's imagination." I like to think of Judge Cohen in this matter as having caught the spirit of the great painter. The thing that he has permitted us to do is the sort of thing that remains. He and we will disappear in the night but the thing proposed - which you will carry out - night cannot efface.

November 11, 1920 Dear Mother: What a contrast this cold day today is to that wonderful and never-to-be-forgotten day two years when the whole world [seemed] to ring of gladness that freedom had come at last. How quickly people forget - how quickly they seem to have forgotten the [hopes] and the ideals for which the war was fought - for which so many gave their lives. There is something awfully sad about it. A few flags out - some extra [perfrmances] in the theatre - otherwise this day might have been any other. I have a lot of work to do - I am looking forward to "jetting back". Love Lester.To The Unknown Dead In Westminster Abbey, London, and in the Arc de Triomphe, Paris, a finely reasoned thought is to be consecrated tomorrow morning at 11 A. M. Celebrating the anniversary of signing the armistice the Germans asked for at Rethondes, the English and the French will do honor to the Unknown Dead. In each case a soldier, unidentified as to name and regiment, will be given a final grave, one in the exquisite nave of the English national shrine where kings and queens, statemen and poets, heroes, men of letters and martyrs lie in silence, sleep and fame: the other in the vault of the Arc de Triomphe, that visible symbol for all time of the military glories of France. In both countries the dendeavor is to immortalize "the unknown dead"-that most moving of in scriptions in any war cemetery of the world. It is a sure instinct which has led to these commemorations for the unknown dead; for next to our own, who may lie in graves marked or unmarked, the dust of those who died as heroes and left no sign of their identity appeal to our sentiment. The two overseas ceremonies will be conducted with the same thought. In Paris, an unknown poilu from the Verdun battle zone will be carried on a fgun carriage, the flag of France over him, three marshals of France, Joffre, Foch and Petain following afoot, to solemn music and between reversed arms of troops. The body of the unknown British Tommy will arrive in England on a British warship. The same earth of France in which he lay and on which he died will be brought to line his grave in consecrated English ground-that little spot which "is forever England." His body will be carried on a gun carriage, as was that of King Edward VII, and beside it will walk the pall bearers, senior officers of the three fighting services, admirals of the fleet, field marshals and generals of the army and the air marshal. Massed bands will add their stirring voices. The King, as cheif mourner, will follow on foot, representing the nation. As the body is lowered into the grave, a field marshal's salute will be fired and a guard of honor mounted. Beside this grave all Britain in spirit will stand, glorying in the hero and vowing anew that what he died for must remain. And it will be the same at the Arc de Triomphe. Though the unknown dead are not to be honored here in any national ceremony, there will be a responsive echo in the hearts of those Americans whose son, brother, husband, made sacrifice for his flag, holding our honor high with wounded hands, carrying our honor safe with bleeding feet. Perhaps the remembrance, though unspoken, may reach them where they sleep, those lads of imperishable memory, who not counting the cost, faced death and would not yield-splendid soldiers passing out of the sight of men by the path of duty and sacrifice.Mrs. Marcus Aaron. 402 Winebiddle Avenue Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania East End.

I seem to have lost my former self composure in debating. In inter-class nothing phased me. I hope I get over it in the next 2 wks - our negative team is not strong enough to stand such silliness. But as to poor old marse - I love him too much to allow him to sit thru 2 hours of boredom. I can just see the expression on his face! He would prefer a good "show". Moreover, he would dis-course forever after to me on the folly of being a highbrow, of studying "Latin, Algebra etc." [Suit] yourself, but don'tyou think it terribly foolish? Mother, by no means come, I felt guilty in keeping you away the 4 extra days up here, so please stay home now. Let me know your conclusion, Father. Remember that we will practice Sat. morning in the Barnard Theatre, and probably will be entertained by B. Sat. aft. + Sun-day. - at least, if we aren't, we should be. V. does that for visitors, anyhow. So I wouldn't be able to loaf with you. Let me know your [concbesion]. You + Marse are welcome - if you cough up 35� admission to say nothing of the [Pa.v.v] fare - but don't be foolish in your enthusiasm for little [Buuy]. <To Mother: Don't bother - will get it made at Luckey's skirts for debate, + I always have a hard hunt to find one big enough around the waist to borrow. Thea - everybody's is dirty this time of yr. We don't mind that here, but I didn't want to wear a grayish one away. So I tho't the least trouble would be to buy one + feel comfortable in one that isn't pinned around the waist. And I thought also the most satisfactory would be to have Miss [Willowbrand wake] it - she has my measurements - the last skirt she made still fits - If you [tha't] it unwise < > turn up the him, I could have that done [heree]><at an alteration shop in one day. She could make a white flannel pleated skirt - spring model - I don't suppose there is much of a change in the style from last yr. IF you think this is impractical, I'll try to buy one here, but I imagine it will be hard to get 1 ready - made so early in the spring + I hardly have the time to hunt. Wire me immediately if you don't think having it made at home would work, + I'll try then to get it here. (12 inches from ground - I'll send a white skirt in my laundry that could be used as waist + length guide). Pleated I guess is best, unless they aren't being used anymore. It would have to be here by Thursday A.M. at the latest if not hemmed - otherwise P.M. We leave Friday. Remember she always makes them with 1 fitting + usually they don't mean much change. R.S.V.P. by wire if I should try around here.> Thanks, Father, for your arguments. We are using them, but one can't talk 21 minutes on moral obligation. We need facts on their incompetence + there seems to be a scarcity of dope on that. My speech is to be on ec. dangers + incompetence. (That from my "ickle" brain!) What do you think the danger to the Ph. from Japan under absolute independence would be? The 4 - powers treaty would protect them from being grabbed, but not from Ec. ag-gression. On the other hand, they aren't protected from the latter now. I don't know - do you. As a business man of sound judgment, we would like your opinion. We hesitate to intrude upon your time, but we do so because we realize how splendid is your attitude toward college women - Haha! Please let me know - seriously. I am writing this while having my hair dried - I had to take time off for a shampoo. I have this awe-inspiring con-ference with Miss Ellery to talk over my makeup for tonight. I tremble at a class of one - intellectually-minded or not! What date is J [Einstein's] wedding? I lost the clipping which I carefully [join] aside. R.S.V.P. The bank check have come, also blue dress. I am taking the medicine without belladonna, successfully - thank goodness. <Which> remeinds me please put in a cork in the next laundry that will fit the woods drug-store bottle (you have 1 too). I want to be able to take it away with me, _ the dropper cork is very loose. That will save time for me. Let me know if you have done so soon. Love Fannie

Whnevar there is anything worth while to do under Speakers' Bureau, she takes it upon herself to do it herself, and leave all the uninteresting things to other people.

The thrill of^eing surprised, instead of having their arrival announced, was quite enjoyable. The only difficulty was tkat I had both a Renaissance and a Drama topic due tod^ , and a great deal of work still to do on both of them» Had they written they were coming, I could easily have had them out of the road. I spent the rest of the afternoon shewing them around, talking to them, showing them my room, etc. We had dinner at the Lodge. Ihey insisted on my bpinging the kids along. Aunt Hattie made quite a hit with them, but I don't know about her bashful husband. They found out pretty quickly that he is basnfull I donH quite know what he made of having five girls at dinner when he was the lonesome gentleman of the party. I left them after chapel and worked till eleven, and finished the topics. Then I met them this morning after my last morning class at elven-thirty, and they left on the two o'clock train. I certainly didanjoy having them here, and the/ did not interfere with work to any harmful degree at all. Your point of view about college, college activities, etc., Mother, is at least eight years younger than Aunt Hattie's instead of eight years older. This afternoon we walked out to the cider mill, and got some delicious cider. It was a heavenly day. The fäiliage is gorgeous now. Mother, I wish after you are up that you would please send Hie Zangwill's "Chidlren of the Ghetto" and also 'Dreamers of TO the Q-hetto" . I am going to dornan Ec topic on ''The Family among the Jews"! Haha! That is a topic that is taken every year, and I thought I might contribute a personal element this year, o if it was done by a Jewish girl. Besides which, I thought it g would be infinitely more interesting than the family among the PQ Mormons, Turks, Japs, or any other people| and I am not origM- a to do any other kind, such as the high-brow one done last § year on the family in Greek tragedies. We are at present taking ^ up the patriarchal organization of the family, and Millsy called ^ onme to find out way we should be studying the Hebrew family, ^ rather than the Chinese, for instance! I felt highly honored by the comparison. (D \0 ^ There is nothing else of Interest to report.

What do you think? R. S. I think that would brighten it up, and not look as patchy as a colisr* I do hope you will be able to be up soon. But don*t be too ippatient about it—as long as you are not very sick, it is a good rest for y^u, and I don't know but what that is the only way that you can be prevailed uponto rest!Mother Mother Mother Mother
