Mrs. Arthur Beerman, widow of Arthur Beerman, Dayton businessman and philanthropist, and her daughter, Mrs. Barbara Weprin, place the first trowel-full of cement in the cornerstone of the new Miami Unitersity Hillel Foundation Center being constructed on E. Walnut Street in Oxford. The edifice was made possible by a $100,000 grant from the Beerman Foundation Inc., and is being built on a site selected by the late Mr. Beermm a number of years ago and purchased with funds provided by him. The building is expected to be completed in January, and it will serve as a religious and cultural center for the Miami-Oxford Jewish community.
