Considerable surprise was caused here yesterday by the disciplinary action taken by the rector of the University of Debreczin against a Jewish student, Bela Herzog, who was beaten by the anti-Semites.
The rector ordered the Jewish student’s credits for a double term withdrawn as punishment “for insulting the Christian students.” The alleged insulting remark of the Jew was that “an attack by hundreds of Christian students against one Jew is cowardly.”
