Dreyfusism, of course, means justice to

years, the most hated of his race,
which is saying a great deal, the only
thing proved against him was that he

was perfectly astounded to discover
that the emancipation of the Jews did
not commence with the breaking down
of the Ghetto walls that the emancipa-
ton of the Jews was nothing but a
farce For to his keen observation, it
appeared plainly that Dreyfus had
committed but one crime, that of being
born a Jew. Then that man felt with
in him the reawakening of his dorm
ant love for his people, a people who
had borne aloft the torch of civiliza-
ton and had been a nation long before
Greece, and while Rome was still bar
barious The knowledge that the Jews
would be Teviled and despised so long
as they were considered as strangers
among the people with whom they had
cast their lot, despite the many cen
turtles of residence in that country, so
long as they were wandering ma
ton without a country, burned with
in him. That man was Theodor Her.
eel
Nor was Theodor Herzel the only
man in this maelstrom of Hatred and
prejudice to observe the full signiri-
canoe of the Dreyfus case. There were
other spectators of this horrible trag-
edy, who had long been lost to Juda-
ism, upon whom the idea was forceful-
ly thrust. Those men were Max Nor
dau, and Bernard Lazare.
The significance of the Dreyfus case
is only too evident to the thinking
Jew. nt-Semitism does, will and
must exist wherever the Jews exist in
any perceptible number. Here in the
United States the Jews number some
million or more, or about one-seventi-
eth part of the population. True, Anti
Semitism isn't strong yet, but it -
pretty much in evidence.

Literary Society, gentleman gave an

self-evident that our Jewish college
students are not Jews According to
the gentleman's statement, the Jewish
students are not tolerated, are barred
out of all social clubs, so they must OF
necessity get together and form their
own social clubs. In the Northern
universities this has resulted in the
formation of the Menorah Societies
which take up the study of Jewish
history, Jewish culture. So that Anti.
Semitism isn't such a bad thing after
all if it brings back our self-pride and
self-consciousness, and brings more
closely together such people who would
be drawn away if they were but toler-
ated in circles where they wish to be.
