Rece restrictions at McGill University were scored here by M.J. Caldwell, leader of the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation, who criticized the university’s policy of requiring higher admittance marks for Jewish students.
“Any university that does that kind of thing forfeits its right to be called a university and would forfeit its right to receive such educational grants as would be made under a C.C.F. government,” he said in reply to a question following an address in which he outlined the needs of Canadian education. Dr. F. Cyril James, principal and vice-chancellor of McGill University, said that he would make “no statement.”
The third unit of the Hillel Foundation on Canadian campuses was today inaugurated at McGill University at a large gathering of Jewish students. A unit was founded at the University of Manitoba early this year and one at Queen’s University, Kingston, in 1942.
