Le Midi reported today that the German Minister of Education had issued an order requiring students, when referring in their dissertations to “non-Aryan” scientists, to precede the name with the word “Jew.”

In preparing bibliographies, the students must include two separate indexes one listing “Aryan” names and the other listing “non-Aryans” quoted in the dissertations. “We are certain,” the Paris newspaper commented, “that as far as medical dissertations are concerned, the ghetto index will not only be far larger, but will carry more glorious names than the pure ‘Aryan’ index.”
