An organization to further racial and religious tolerance has been formed at the University of Wisconsin.

The group, which has been named Koinos, meaning “in common,” was started with the purpose of neutralizing any racial chauvinism at the university that might have a tendency to spring up because of the recent spread of Nazism in the United States. It is planned to conduct symposiums on the true reasons for race prejudice.
