1983-1984 Rothberg Yearbook

FROM THE PROVOST:
End-of-the year letters are a strange occasion — a mix o f trying to find a way to sum up a rich,
complex experience; to say good-bye to a group o f students who gave this school life and
meaning during their stay; and to link this year with us both to your future and ours.
Perhaps the best way to do all these things is to thank you all for the work, interest and enthusiasm
that you invested during this year. It is the highest testimony to what you will take
away with you, and to the work o f your teachers and staff who helped make it come about.
From now on, wherever you go or whatever you finally do, you are part o f the Hebrew University
family. You are part o f a tradition that stretches backwards into time and into a future
to which, in your own way, you have now contributed. This is probably the best going-away
gift that we can give: the consciousness o f joining this tradition and having added your own
unique impression. Again, our thanks, our best wishes for the future, and our hope to see you
with us again.

The publication o f this Yearbook marks the transformation o f One-Year Program students
into OYP alumni. As your perspective o f the Hebrew University experience crystallizes and
matures, you may search for the most appropriate way o f keeping alive the Jerusalem connection.
This connection will develop different forms, and on different levels, thus each individual will
in some way preserve his own private Jerusalem.
I f you wish to maintain a practical link with the University, we invite you to join the School o f
Overseas Students Alumni Association. Alumni are now setting up regional chapters in various
parts o f the United States and Canada. Your affiliation with such groups will help strengthen
the bond between the University and Alumni throughout the world.
A growing percentage o f ex-OYPers return to Jerusalem for graduate study: the number 9
awaits your return.
