Of the sixteen professors in Prussia upon whom were conferred enforced leaves of absence, in the drive against Jews and Marxists in the Universities, thirteen are Jews.
Chief of these is Professor Moritz J. Bonn of Berlin, one of Germany’s foremost economists who had lectured at several American universities and at the Williamstown Institute of Politics. The three other economists include Emil Lederer also of Berlin; Dr. Loewe, of Frankfort, and Dr. Feller, of Koenigsberg. The four excluded Professors of Public Law are: Dr. Kelsen, of Cologne; Dr. Mark, of Breslau; Hermann Heller, and Dr. Sinzheimer of Frankfort. The others are Dr. Mannheim and Dr. Holledheimer, zoologists, of Frankfort; Dr. Kantorowitz, Professor of Law at Kiel, and Dr. Cohn, Professor of Law at Breslau; two Professors of the Medical Faculty at Bonn, Dr. Loewenstein and Dr. Alfred Kantorowitz and finally two geologists, Dr. Gunther Nehn of Halle and Dr. Tillich of Frankfort.
