Jewish students of the medical faculty in Warsaw University will not be able to graduate in view of the fact that they still are not admitted to the anatomical institute for practical work.
A statement made today by the dean of the medical faculty to Rabbi Posner disclosed that the dean himself is in favor of admitting Jewish students. It seems, however, that other powers in the university are maintaining this anti-Jewish policy.
As a reason for refusing admission of Jews to the anatomical institute, the excuse is given that Jews are not supplying sufficient corpses for anatomical work. Jewish students are requested to find and submit Jewish corpses for practice. The dean of the medical faculty, however, made it clear today that in his opinion it is not the students’ duty to supply the necessary corpses.
