Magnes’s position on the issue of the two versions of the minutes of the second meeting of the BOGHU on the role of Solomon Ginzberg, see Doc. 164. On the dispute between Ein- stein and Magnes regarding their respective versions of the minutes, see Doc. 142, note 1. [2]Chaim Weizmann. [3]Probably Martin Rosenblüth (1886–1963), vice president of the Zionistische Vereinigung für Deutschland. [4]A reference to the American Jewish Physicians’ Committee. [5]Rudolf Ehrmann. [6]The sections on the budget in the two versions of the minutes of the second meeting of the BOGHU (see note 1) differed substantially. In each version, the specifications for the budget items pertaining to individual university institutes diverged significantly in regard to most of the institutes. Most notably, the version approved by Einstein claimed the proposed budget had been approved with certain “amendments and provisions” (“Aenderungen und Bestimmungen”), which were then enu- merated in detail. In contrast, according to his own version of the minutes, Magnes only presented a “tentative budget” and cautioned against making decisions about spending, as such determinations might need to be overturned once he returned to Jerusalem. In both versions the budget was appended to the minutes, but neither is extant (see “Protokoll der Zweiten Sitzung des Kuratoriums der Univer- sitaet Jerusalem, abgehalten am 23. Sept. 1925 in Muenchen” [IL-JeCZA, L12/83/1/1] and “Draft. Minutes of the second Meeting of the Board of Governors of the Hebrew University Held at Munich in the House of Dr. Eli Strauss September 23rd and 24th, 1925” [OCAJA, Felix M. Warburg Papers, MS-457, box 220, folder 6]). [7]In the version of the minutes approved by Einstein, the Russian-born mathematician Binyamin Amira (1896–1968) was awarded a “lectureship” (“Dozentur”) with a monthly salary of £30 in the Institute of Mathematics, retroactively from 1 May 1925. In Magnes’s version, Amira was listed as having being appointed as “Assistant.” Both versions contained provisions regarding the Jewish National and University Library, includ- ing the proposal for a new building for the library to be funded by the Wolfssohn Foundation. Only Magnes’s version mentioned that the BOGHU had resolved to “assume a financial obligation up to £10,000 in addition to the £20,000 in possession of the Wolfssohn Foundation” (see “Protokoll der Zweiten Sitzung des Kuratoriums der Universitaet Jerusalem, abgehalten am 23. Sept. 1925 in Muenchen” [IL-JeCZA, L12/83/1/1] and “Draft. Minutes of the Second Meeting of the Board of Gov- ernors of the Hebrew University Held at Munich in the House of Dr. Eli Strauss September 23rd and 24th, 1925” [OCAJA, Felix M. Warburg Papers, MS-457, box 220, folder 6]). [8]Israel J. Kligler (1888 [or 1889]–1944), a Galician-born microbiologist, had been director of the Bacteriological Department of the Hadassah Medical Mission in Jerusalem and director of the Malaria Research Unit in Haifa. The version of the minutes approved by Einstein stated that the man- agement of the Institute of Microbiology would be divided between three section heads until the appointment of a director. The heads were Saul Adler (parasitology), Arthur Felix (serology), and Israel J. Kligler (hygiene). In contrast, Magnes’s version mentioned only Kligler by name and recorded the board’s decision to establish “an independent Department of Public Hygiene” under his direction. It also claimed that Ehrmann was “negotiating with distinguished scientists looking to the selection of one of them as a director of the Microbiological Institute.” Magnes also wrote to Einstein and Chaim Weizmann on the matter of Kligler (see Abs. 274, “Protokoll der Zweiten Sitzung des Kuratoriums der Universitaet Jerusalem, abgehalten am 23. Sept. 1925 in Muenchen” [IL-JeCZA, L12/83/1/1] and “Draft. Minutes of the Second Meeting of the Board of Governors of the Hebrew University Held at Munich in the House of Dr. Eli Strauss September 23rd and 24th, 1925” [OCAJA, Felix M. Warburg Papers, MS-457, box 220, folder 6]). [9]Presumably his interview with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency of 13 March 1926 on the Hebrew University (see Appendix C).
