How to Use <strong>The</strong> <strong>Concise</strong> Dictt"onary <strong>of</strong><strong>American</strong> <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Biography</strong><br />
Cyrus Adler has one <strong>of</strong> the longest entries. It gives his<br />
exact dates <strong>of</strong>birth and death, the complete history <strong>of</strong>his<br />
education, and the most important <strong>of</strong>his accomplishments.<br />
He appears in numerous sources. All <strong>of</strong> the abbreviations<br />
in the entry appear in our list <strong>of</strong> abbreviations. <strong>The</strong> last<br />
citation is to his obituary in <strong>The</strong> ·New York Times.<br />

Judith M. Daniels
Preface<br />
for Learning in Retirement at the University <strong>of</strong>Cincinnati,<br />
undertook the arduous task <strong>of</strong> excerpting the data on all<br />
the <strong>Jewish</strong> biographees in the eight volumes <strong>of</strong> Who Was<br />
Who in America (this <strong>of</strong>course included all Jews identified<br />
in the many volumes <strong>of</strong> the standard Who's Who in<br />
America). At all times, the staffs <strong>of</strong> the <strong>American</strong> <strong>Jewish</strong><br />
Archives and the Hebrew Union College Library were<br />
only too eager to be <strong>of</strong>assistance.<br />
Finally, we received a matching grant from Jack<br />
Skirball and his wife Audrey Marx Skirball Kenis. We are<br />
deeply grateful for their largesse and their vision. It was<br />
this gift that made it possible for us to continue on even a<br />
larger scale. Melanie A. Miller did the computer work<br />
magnificently, organizing and typing the biographies.<br />
Judith M. Daniels, Lecturer in History at the University<br />
<strong>of</strong>Cincinnati, came aboard in the 1980's and took over<br />
the task <strong>of</strong>chief <strong>of</strong>staff. Without her this work would not<br />
exist. I prepared the data for hundreds <strong>of</strong> biographies and<br />
checked every final entry in this work.<br />
