Jewish students doing their first year course at the Faculty of Law were to-day set upon by antisemitic students and thrown out of the lecture rooms. The National Democratic students in the more advanced courses are believed to have instigated the younger students to start the trouble.
A delegation of Jewish students visited the Rector of Warsaw University to-day in order to make representations to him against the renewed anti-Jewish agitation. The National Democratic students are delivering speeches to the other students, they said, telling them what is happening at Cracow, and urging them to follow the example of the Cracow students, and kick the Jews out of the University. They are also distributing inflammatory leaflets among the students inciting them to violence against the Jews.
The Rector assured the Jewish students that he would not permit any anti-Jewish agitation at Warsaw University.
The Jewish students are discussing joint action with the students belonging to the Government Party and with the democratic student bodies in order to establish a united front against the anti-Jewish agitation.
How strong the National Democratic students are at the University was demonstrated to-day in the supplementary elections to the Committee of the law students, when, despite the united opposition of the Jewish and the Government Party students, the candidate put up by the National Democrats was nevertheless elected.
Cracow University is still closed to-day.
