How to Use The Concise Dictt"onary ofAmerican Jewish Biography
Cyrus Adler has one of the longest entries. It gives his
exact dates ofbirth and death, the complete history ofhis
education, and the most important ofhis accomplishments.
He appears in numerous sources. All of the abbreviations
in the entry appear in our list of abbreviations. The last
citation is to his obituary in The ·New York Times.
Jacob Rader Marcus
Judith M. Daniels

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