      |
Foundations: Establishing Brandeis University, 1946-1952 is an
exhibit of evidence that illustrates the activities surrounding the
establishment of the first Jewish-sponsored, non-sectarian university in
America. The items presented are meant to provoke interest in the early
history of the school and in the use of primary materials. This exhibit
cannot possibly tell the whole story. This online version contains
photographs, documents, and text that were included in the original
exhibit. The Archives holds many more materials that document the
founding of Brandeis University. For further information please feel free
