“The women holding higher positions in Germany have been discharged. The number of women students has been severely restricted. And to further add to the difficulties which women are encountering, the exceptions to the ‘non-Aryan’ laws, such as fighting at the front or service a 1914, by which certain privileges may be obtained, do not hold for the women,” said Professor Frieda Wunderlich at a tea given in her honor at the Women’s University Club, 106 East Fifty-second street, by the American Association of University Women.
Professor Wunderlich, who was a member of the Prussian Diet, the City Council of Berlin, and of the faculty of the Teachers’ Institute of the University of Berlin, has been in this country six months. She is now a member of the graduate faculty of the New School for Social Research.

Mrs. Paul Strong Achilles, president of the American Association of University Women, presided at the tea.
