Memorial service to be held for Bernard Rabin

A memorial service for Bernard "Bernie" Rabin, a professor emeritus of education, will be held at 1 p.m. Dec. 5 in Prout Chapel.

Rabin, 87, died Nov. 10. He taught at the University from 1955 until his retirement in 1982. After being diagnosed with terminal leukemia last summer, Rabin established a fund to help BGSU students pay for emergency needs, similar to a fund at Columbia University that had assisted him when he was a young graduate. His family suggests memorials be made to the Rabin Helping Hand Fund in care of the BGSU Foundation Inc.
