A list of typical cases of Jews who have been refused admission to the Hungarian universities because of the operation of the Numerus Clausus Law is given in the current issue of the Jewish weekly here, “Egyenloseg,” in order to illustrate the manner in which the Numerus Clausus is being administered against the Jewish population of Hungary.
The cases quoted include one of a Jewish student named Ladislaus Wall who was refused admission by the Medical Faculty of Budapest University although he had matriculated with honors. His father renewed the application backing it up with certificates showing that two elder brothers of the applicant who had passed their matriculation summa cum laude, one of them being a war-cripple, had been refused admission to the University and had been compelled to go abroad to continue their studies. Two other brothers, he writes, have been spared the necessity of leaving their native country in order to be able to study at a University, having found their death on the battle-field fighting for Hungary. The family, the father adds, sent 45 of its male members into the army; all of them were in active service at the Front and 10 of them were killed on the battle-field.
