Another attempt to influence the Roumanian government to introduce a numerus nulius barring Jewish students from the universities, was made by a delegation of university students.
The delegation, representing the recent anti-Semitic student congress held in Jassy, was received by M. Marinescu, chief director of higher education, and by Octavian Goga, Minister of the Interior. Angelescu, president of the student body, headed the delegation.
The demands of the Jassy Congress were presented. It is understood that Marinescu told the delegation that all the demands of the Congress will be conceded with the exception of the numerus nullus. It was further stated that Minister of the Interior Goga assured the delegation that the government is anxious to help the students and has assigned the amount of two hundred million lei for the purpose of establishing hostels for them. First, however, order must be preserved, he declared.
