September 19, 1932
On September 19, 1932, Arthur Williams hosted a distinguished luncheon at Brook Corners in Roslyn, Long Island, entertaining Bishop Freeman and Mr. and Mrs. M.C. Taylor. This event unfolded against a backdrop of notable demographic shifts in the United States, as highlighted by the Laidlaw Census Report, which revealed that the city's population had surged by 50% since 1890, despite Manhattan's continuous decline over the past century. The report emphasized the significant influx of Southeast European immigrants, who comprised 46% of the population by 1930, and indicated a dramatic increase in the Russian demographic over the past three decades. In addition, the Hadassah Women’s Organization announced an ambitious plan to establish a medical center at Jerusalem University, asking its members to champion Jewish cultural development in America, which involved a substantial expenditure of $343,000 the previous year, signaling a commitment to communal health and heritage.
