On behalf of the Academic Assistance Council, Lord Rutherford, famous physicist and holder of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, today issued an appeal for the creation of a permanent society for the protection of science and learning.
“Devastation of the German universities, “Lord Rutherford declares in the appeal, “still continues. Not only university teachers RAD Jewish descent, but others who are regarded as ‘politically unreliable,’ are prevented from making contribution to the common cause of scholarship.”
The appeal states that the society would create a fund to award research fellowships at British and other universities for the most distinguished of refugee scholars.
