[Avodah] Meir Bar Ilan

[Joseph C. Kaplan]

"Just a technical correction.  R. Meir (Berlin) Bar Ilan, after whom Bar 
Ilan University is named was niftar before the univesity was established. 
He was the younger son of the Netziv of Volozhin.  Since he is from second 
marriage, he wass much much younger than his older brother R. Chaim 
Berlin."

There is a Meir Bar Ilan who currently teaches at Bar Ilan University in the Jewish History and Talmud Departments.  I believe he is the grandson of the original.
