Students at the University of Mannheim, after negotiations with the university senate, announced that, in the future, Jews would not be admitted to the institution in a proportion exceeding one and a half per cent. No Jewish students, except those who are now concluding their studies, will be given an opporunity to graduate from the school of commerce.
It is pointed out, however, that this application of the numerus clausus is superfluous since the proportion of Jewish students is in any case less than one per cent.
