Jewish students at the medical University here held a mass meeting today to protest against their exclusion from classes in dissection, because they have been unable to furnish the quota of Jewish bodies demanded by the non-Jewish students. They protested the fact that they are not permitted to dissect Christian corpses, declaring that the Christian students have not been required to provide corpses. The Jewish students decried the decision of the Warsaw rabbis not to deliver Jewish corpses to the University and have announced a demonstration in the University against the decision of the rabbinate.
