in the United States, is in: a position to state authorita- 

 tively that the Jewish farmers are recognized as leaders 

 in their various communities. Furthermore, in some 

 branches of farming, such as tobacco growing, fruit 

 growing, poultry raising, and other branches, our Jewish 

 farmers, if they do not excel, are at least equal to any 

 of the native farmers in the United States. 



In the above brief sketch I endeavored modestly to pay 

 a well deserved tribute to a great man, a leader of our 

 people, who sacrificed his life in his efforts to serve a 

 worthy cause. May his life serve as an inspiration to 

 the Jewish people and especially to those who are en- 

 gaged in the field of social endeavor, so we can at least 

 say that the Professor did not live in vain.
