The only Jewish girl student attending the Medical College of the University of Clusenburg, received a letter this week from the Cuzist students at the University, warning her that if she does not stop attending lectures at the University it will be the worse for her.
“In view of our student ideal for the future, which consists of this: to clear out all foreign elements from the Roumanian Universities, especially the Jews,” the letter says, “we demand of you that you realize within the course of twenty-four hours that your presence at the Medical College may become a dangerous matter for you. We suggest that from tomorrow on you no longer come to the University. If you go on attending the University, we shall use whatever measures the circumstances require. It is useless for you to try to obtain protection from outside; instead of being of any use to you it will bring you into still greater peril. We warn you only because you are a woman.”
