history of art at the Universities of Vienna, Leipzig, Berlin and Zurich. While still a student, he became active in the Zionist movement as a writer and edited the Vien¬ nese Zionist news¬ paper, "Die Welt." He was also a founder and editor of the Jewish Pub¬ lishing House in Vienna, the Ju- discher Verlag. From 1916 to 1924 he edited De Jude, a periodical which he had founded and which became the leading or¬ gan of German speaking Jews.
From 1923 until his expulsion from Germany by the Nazis in 1933, Prof. Buber occupied the chair of Jewish studies at the University of Frankfurt^the only such chair in all of Germany. In 1938 follow¬ ing his settlement in Palestine he became Professor of Social Philo¬ sophy at the Hebrew University in lerusalem, a post he held until his retirement in 1951 when he became Professor Emeritus.
Prof. Buber achieved world prom- ience for introducing Hasidic philo¬ sophy into German thought and the philosophical schools of Western Europe. His view that religion is a dialogue between God and man that self-realization is aciiieved through perceiving the divine presence in one's relationship to the world and
his fellow man had a decisive im¬ pact on the philosophical writing and thinking of post World War II intellectuals.
During the 1950's. Buber's books, "I and Thou," "Between Man and Man," "Tales of the Hasidim" and others, enjoyed a widespread vogue among students in France, England and the United States.
In addition to his works on Hasidic thought and the history of Hasidism, Prof. Buber was the au¬ thor of numerous books on the Bible, Jewish and general - philosophy, theology, and Zionist theory. To¬ gether with the late German-Jewisti philosopher Franz Rosenzweig he achieved the monumental task of translating the Old Testament to German during the years 1926-37.
During his lifetime Martin Buber was honored by many of the world's leading universities and learned so¬ cieties. He held honorary degrees from the Hebrew University, the Hebrew Union College, the Sorborme' and the New School for Social Re¬ search.
He was a visitihg guest professor at several universities in France, Scandinavia, England, the Nether¬ lands and the United States and set off a widespread controversy by re¬ turning to Germany after the war lo lecture.
Although he retired from teach¬ ing at the Hebrew University in 1951 he never lost touch with Israel's sludents and was always accessible   for   consultation.   Two
years ago. on his 85th birthday, the students of the Hebrew University paid tribute to their revered teacher by holding a moving torch light parade outside his home in Jerusalem.
In Israel. Prof. Buber joined forces with the late Dr. Judah Magnes and other spiritual Zionists in advocating a peaceful attitude towards the Arabs and the estab¬ lishment of Palestine as a bi-na- tional Arab-Jewish State guarantee¬ ing equality to both Jews and Arabs. He was instrumental in founding the Ihud movement which sought a rapprochement with the Arabs and stressed the need to preserve the cultural integrity of the Middle East by retaining dis¬ tinctly Semitic characteristics as opposed to the influence of what were considered alien and synthetic European values.
