The University of Lvov was closed today for an indefinite period following a students’ lockout as a protest against the proposed modification of the autonomy of Polish universities.
The Polish authorities have in project a measure to permit police to enter the university buildings, and other modifications, in order to prevent a recurrence of the serious anti-Semitic riots which have swept Poland for two successive years.
The measure has aroused protests from student bodies, influenced by the agitation of the National Democratic Party, whose publications have carried on propaganda against the project.
