value to those interested, In teaching or hoping to enter the theological field." •Indeed'', Professor MrCul-lough revealed, "a great number of modern scholarly works on Hebrew were written by Christians."
Mrs. Pessen, who recently has obtained a Master's Degree in Hebrew, is one of those who have benefitted from the University's expanded curriculum in the subject. As a child she attended Associated Hebrew Schools, a U.J;A. beneficiary, where her interest in Hebrew was nurtured and developed by the celebrated s c h 01 a r-teacher, Abraham Shkop. She attended Central High School of Commerce through grade 12 and, following her marriage to Harold Dessen, obtained her sepior matriculation at night school. She delayed further education while her husband completed his course in Chartered Accountancy and continued the hiatus while she raised their two daughters, Serena and Susan.
Nearly ten years agoMrs. Dessen returned to school, taking the,U. of T. extension course where Biblical Hebrew is taught. She also attended day classes unavailable in the evening. Subsequently, when she had qualified for third year, she began attending day classes, obtaining an M.A. in Hebrew, Currently Mrs. Dessen is a teaching feUow at Varsity in Biblical Hebrew Syntax. When the opportunity presents itself after she has obtained her Ph. D., she would like to become a full time teacher.
The entire Dessen family is a tribute to the Associated school system. Mr. Dessen is chairman of the As-sociated's Board of Education. Serena, 20, a graduate of Associated and the Community Hebrew Academy of Toronto, starts her fourth year in Honor English at U. of T., whUe Susan, 18, just has graduated from CHAT and will 6nter Var-
sity's general arts course this. fall.
Under the leadership of Professor Ronald J. Williams, chairman of the Near Eastern Studies Department at U. of T., plans sure being formulated to broaden both the Medieval and Modern Hebrew courses in the Undergraduate and Poistgrad-uate curriculum. "In the Medieval area," he says, "we want to increase the study of Talmudic and Rabbinic literature aiid also to include poetry. In the Modern Hebrew coursewe want to cover all areas of contemporary liter'ature."
Professor Williains revealed that two generous members of the Toronto Jewish community recently contributed to the Library Fund to build up both the Medieval and Modern Hebrew book collections.
"The whole project," Professor Williams states,*has been something we have been planning for a: long time. Last year we brought in Professor FrankTalmagean outstanding Hebraic teacher from New York, to conduct our new courses and we are planning for fiirther extension and developinent in' all facets of the Hebrew language and culture."
