Menorah Society

On March 9, 1917, a chapter of the national Menorah Society was installed at UT. Mr. S. Allenberg was the first president. The society was organized at Harvard in 1906–07, and the UT chapter was the 53rd American chapter to be installed. The Menorah Movement originated at Harvard in academic year 1906–07 as a result of a desire at Harvard to establish a Jewish cultural society. The Jewish cultural society was open to all students and faculty.
