The Technion is Israel's oldest institution of higher learning. Its origins date back to the years of pre‐World War I. To 1912 to be exact. But, due to the outbreak of hostilities it begun to function only in 1924. Some years had to pass before it got over its birth pangs. Its infancy led to moderate accomplishments compared to the present fame. The Technion stands to‐day on 300 acres of wooded land. Its campus on Mount Carmel is one of the most beautiful in the world. A city within a city the Technion comprises some forty impressive, modern buildings that blend into their landscaped setting. It took the newly founded College for Higher Education, which is in the Negev, under its wings, and the young Haifa University is affiliated with the Technion. Academically, it is being compared to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Not only for being a Technical University but for the superior qualifications demanded from its teaching staff and the high standard expected from its students.
