Lemberg University, where there were antisemitic demonstrations last October, which developed into the ##serious anti-Jewish disturbances the following month in the other University cities of Warsaw, Cracow and Vilna, is today again the scene of anti-Jewish trcuble.
The National Democratic students at all the Lemberg colleges and University institutes demanded today that the University Senate should expel a Jewish student, the only Jew attending the Lemberg Academy of Forestry and Lands, otherwise they would all go out on strike. The University Senate on receiving this ultimatum, replied that it expected the National Democratic students to keep order and to give a guarantee that the Jewish student would not be molested.
The National Democratic students refused to give such a guarantee, whereupon the Senate suspended two of the National Democratic students and censured 15 others.
The National Democratic students have now presented a memorandum to the University Senate, demanding that these sentences should be withdrawn, else all the National Democratic students at Lemberg University will go out on strike.
