The University of Debreczin, in deference to the wishes of the anti-Semites, was today cleared of all Jewish students. The last two Jews who remained at the University were today severely beaten up and thrown off the campus.
One of the students beaten up and evicted is a woman and the fact that a non-Jewish professor of the University sought to protect her proved of no avail.
All the Jewish students enrolled at the University have decided not to attend classes until the government gives practical effect to its repeated assurances that the Jews will be safeguarded.
The University of Debreczin has been the scene of repeated attacks on Jews during the past week. On November 18th the University was ordered closed by the Minister of Education as a result of the disturbances.
