A violent anti-Semitic attack was launched here last night when Professor S. Osborne, head of the medical faculty of the University of Melbourne, addressing students of the university, declared that the German side of the Jewish excesses had been suppressed but that Jewish exploitation of vice was really responsible.
Osborne asserted that he was being swamped with applications from Jewish students in the United States anxious to proceed to Melbourne to study here because with the exception of Columbia University, American universities restricted the number of Jewish students.
