Nineteen students of the University of Lemberg who participated in anti-Semitic attacks last week were punished by disciplinary procedure, states the Polish Consul General in New York, Dr. Mieczyslaw Marchlewski, in a statement made to the Federation of Polish Jews in America and made public through the Jewish Telegraphic Agency today.
Four students were referred to the District Attorney of Lemberg for legal prosecution, states Dr. Marchlewski. “These four students will remain under arrest.
“The Warsaw University,” he says, “after being closed for two days, was re-opened again, the Rector being of the opinion that this was sufficient warning for rebellious students.”
The statement of the Polish Consul General was issued in connection with the representations made by the Polish Federation with regard to the recurrence of anti-Semitic student disturbances in various Polish University towns.
