First edition, 8vo, viii, 180 pages 23 cm. In English. A collection of essays and speeches from various members of the early 20th century Menorah Movement, an intercollegiate Jewish student association, a key predecessor of today's B'Nai B'rith and Hillel student associations. Scholars have identified the Menorah Movement, which began as an undergraduate student association at Harvard University in 1906, as one of the earliest flowerings of explicit Cultural Pluralism in the United States, strongly influenced by the ideas of William James and George Santayana, by way of Santayana's student, Horace Kallen. The Movement and its publications also played a role in a new understanding of Jewish identity as an ethnicity. SUBJECT (S) Students' societies -- United States.
