Administrative history
The first Hillel foundation was created at the University of Illinois in 1924. The movement became affiliated with B'nai Brith in 1925 and spread throughout North America. In December of 1947, Rabbi Gotthold, Hillel director at the University of Saskatchewan, laid the foundation for the establishment of the first Hillel chapter in Edmonton. In December 1948, the first Hillel Counselorship at the University of Alberta was inaugurated by Rabbi A.J. Lelyveld, National Director of B'nai Brith Hillel. Herschel Samuels was elected first president and Rabbi B.L. Hurwitz was appointed counselor. In 1951, publication of a monthly newsletter began. Hillel's primary aim is to provide a social and educational outlet for Jewish students on the University Campus. In the late 1970s, funding for Hillel began to come from the local Jewish Federation as well as B'nai Brith, and an adult advisory board made up of representatives from B'nai Brith, Federation, U of A faculty and Hillel executive was formed.
