Establishment of a “ghetto” university for Jews was urged today by anti-Semitic newspapers here.

In Polish universities, ABC, organ of the Radical Democratic (Nara) party, declares:

“Only a separate university for Jews will restore order in our colleges.”

Anti-Jewish disorders, arising from Nationalist students’ efforts to enforce segregation of Jews in “ghetto” benches of classrooms, have become a daily occurrence in Warsaw, Lwow and other university centers.

Yesterday, the rector of Warsaw University admitted himself helpless in the face of the continued disturbances. Previously Nationalist students had threatened to continue them until the university was forced to close unless Jews were compelled to occupy the “ghetto” benches.
