Jewish students of Polish nationality are still being refused admission to the University of Bratislava. The Polish Consul in the city has lodged a protest with the Czecho-Slovakian authorities against such discrimination on the ground of Polish nationality.
The Bratislava University authorities have issued a statement that they will not allow any disorder, and declaring that they will take severe measures to guarantee the peaceful conduct of the work of the University. To this the Nationalist students have issued a reply that there will be no peace at the University until a numerus clausus is enforced against foreign Jews.
At Prague University the Dean of the Medical Faculty, addressing a meeting of the Czech students at his Faculty, complained of the increasing numbers of foreign students. There were three times as many students at the University as there should be, he said. It was true that the foreign students pledged themselves when they were enrolled that they would not establish themselves in Czecho-Slovakia, but they could get over this by acquiring citizenship. He suggested that when the next enrolments are taken foreign students should be made to pay double fees, and should not be allowed to dissect.
