How to Use <strong>The</strong> <strong>Concise</strong> Dictt"onary <strong>of</strong><strong>American</strong> <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Biography</strong><br />

Cyrus Adler has one <strong>of</strong> the longest entries. It gives his<br />

exact dates <strong>of</strong>birth and death, the complete history <strong>of</strong>his<br />

education, and the most important <strong>of</strong>his accomplishments.<br />

He appears in numerous sources. All <strong>of</strong> the abbreviations<br />

in the entry appear in our list <strong>of</strong> abbreviations. <strong>The</strong> last<br />

citation is to his obituary in <strong>The</strong> ·New York Times.<br />

Judith M. Daniels


Preface<br />

for Learning in Retirement at the University <strong>of</strong>Cincinnati,<br />

undertook the arduous task <strong>of</strong> excerpting the data on all<br />

the <strong>Jewish</strong> biographees in the eight volumes <strong>of</strong> Who Was<br />

Who in America (this <strong>of</strong>course included all Jews identified<br />

in the many volumes <strong>of</strong> the standard Who's Who in<br />

America). At all times, the staffs <strong>of</strong> the <strong>American</strong> <strong>Jewish</strong><br />

Archives and the Hebrew Union College Library were<br />

only too eager to be <strong>of</strong>assistance.<br />

Finally, we received a matching grant from Jack<br />

Skirball and his wife Audrey Marx Skirball Kenis. We are<br />

deeply grateful for their largesse and their vision. It was<br />

this gift that made it possible for us to continue on even a<br />

larger scale. Melanie A. Miller did the computer work<br />

magnificently, organizing and typing the biographies.<br />

Judith M. Daniels, Lecturer in History at the University<br />

<strong>of</strong>Cincinnati, came aboard in the 1980's and took over<br />

the task <strong>of</strong>chief <strong>of</strong>staff. Without her this work would not<br />

exist. I prepared the data for hundreds <strong>of</strong> biographies and<br />

checked every final entry in this work.<br />
