A disturbance of an anti-Semitic nature occurred at the University of Geneva during an Esperanto lecture delivered by Professor Edmond. The disturbance was caused by students belonging to the reactionary organization, “Helvetika.”
Shouting “Zamenhof (founder of Esperanto) was a dirty Jew,” the students interrupted the lecture. The members of the faculty who were present at the lecture ordered the ejection of the students, which resulted in fighting.
