The introduction of a numerus clausus regulation in all Prussian Universities was ordered today by the Prussian Minister of Education.
Students are to be accepted in Prussian Universities in the order in which they registered in their districts, each district having a certain quota. When the limits are reached, no more students will be accepted according to the terms of the regulation.
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency learns from a reliable source that thus far the numerus clausus is not directed against the Jews. It is pointed out that priority at the present stage applies to the order of registration. Nevertheless fears are expressed that anti-Jewish agitation will result and that students who fail to gain admission will demand the rejection of Jews so that vacancies may be created for Christian students.
