Despite a threat from the Roumanian Minister of Education to penalize them with the loss of a full academic year, the students at Jassy University are still out on the general strike which was called to protest against police interference with an anti-Semitic demonstration. The Minister of Education warned the striking students that they would lose an entire year unless they immediately restored order.
The police of Jassy have taken the strongest measures to prevent a possible repetition of the disturbances. During the last excesses, 12 Jewish students were badly hurt. Eight, who were only slightly hurt, on their release from the hospital gave the names of their assailants to the prosecutor, and also sent a telegraphic complaint to the government and the Regency.
