challenge and response. ; Dr. Cherrick; stressed: "The emergence of the State of Israel was a response to the horrifying challenge of the Holocaust. The vitality of Israel is a continuing response to the challenge of survival in so threatening an environment. In the same way, there is the response of the Uni^ersity,^ providing a focal point.
