Non-Interference
Peterson said that the development office is coordinating all fund-raising for the center to insure that collections do not interfere with other fund drives.
The Faculty approved the fund drive for the center last year.
Weinstock said he thinks the center will have "a major impact on the field of Jewish studies throughout the country."
The brochure says that due to recent government and foundation cutbacks, the Faculty can no longer fund Jewish studies at Harvard without an endowment.

There are presently two professorships in Jewish studies at the University, but visiting lecturers and administrators are also offering courses in the field.
