Anti-Semitic excesses over the Jewish corpse question in the Medical College of the Vilna University continued yesterday.

Anti-Semitic students surrounded the clinics, refusing to permit Jewish students to enter. Many skirmishes occurred, following which the dean of the medical college ordered the clinics closed temporarily.
