WHY NOT GOOD ROADS
FOR OUR STATE?

To the Editor Of the Free Press;

We are not launching out on an I'M

SEQ 0O0, 600 bond issue campaign for
good roads in 1916 in Illinois and the
1919 campaign for $500 900 bond is

which Duluth Is the largest city.
IN Illinois, the State highway com
mission developed the plan; l wish
they would here. The first plan was
| TO pay the bonds, one-half from gen
eral taxation and one-half from motor
} license fees, but II was later decided
20 raise the entire amount from motor
license fees and avoid any taxation.
All the motor organizations of the
State approved an increase Of motor
fees in order 10 have good roads now.
A majority State vote was necessary /
and a vigorous campaign Of informa-
ton was launched, including civic,
business, professional, farm, trade,
labor and automobile associations,
chambers of commerce and, last but
not least, women's organizations
County and precinct committees were
appointed and papers gave space to
the campaign freely.
The movie film was n great feature,
with pictures Of cars stuck in the mud.
The campaign was handicapped by the
fourth Liberty loan campaign and the
Influenza epidemic. The vote was
Gel Sis in favor and l54 1896 against,
majority Of 507.4i9, or over four to
one. The same general opposition TO

Professor Lyons was instrumental in

The discord at Harvard is said to
be traceable to the animosity of men,

influenced by such alumni as Justice
Brandeis, Judge Mack and Professor
Frankfurter. Reactionary professors
assert that the law faculty is unduly
impressed by the views of these and
other "Jewish liberals"
Prejudice against the Jew is not
confined to Cambridge alone, univer-

being free of the anti-Semitic germ.
Some speak even of an organized con-
spiracy against Jewish students at
many great American universities as
"a reverberating echo of Fordism."

MOVE TO CUT IMMIGRATION
QUOTA TO TWO PER
CENT

Washington q. C. B.)-A big sur
prise in the form of a totally unex-
pected and dangerous move against
immigration was sprung today when
at the meeting of the House Immigra-
ton Committee, it was proposed by
anti-immigrationist members to re-
duce from three to two per cent the
number of immigrants, admissible ac-
cording to nationality under the pres
ent immigration law recently extended
to June 80, 1924
If adopted, this would mean that
over 115,000 immigrants would be cut
off from admission. In other words,
one-third of the total Of approximately
100000 admissible under the present
quota scheme during the entire year
would be barred.
Besides the reduction feature the
bill carries half and half plan Of
transporting immigrants on American
ships and the reduction of monthly
quota from twenty to ten per cent.

May Jews Go to College?

list you can do almost anything"
This kind Of concealed exclusion of
course disgraces any university which
adopts it. If college is to exclude
Jews or to limit them, let it state the
fact and give it's reasons.
With a full realization Of the COM
plex and tragic nature of the problem
we go further: we say that the col
lege or university which wishes to be
the Alma Mater of the leaders of the
America of tomorrow can make
neither secret nor open exclusion on
the ground Of race or creed. The
character of our universities is chang
ing already; it will be still more
changed by this infusion of strange
blood. Some of the beauty of the
aristocratic tradition will be lost. But
America is changing; it is no longer
nation of Anglo-Saxon stock; it is
a nation nodded by that stock but
perpetually being transformed by the
later comers. The American univer-
sity must change too, either moving
with the country or in the reverse
direction. Either it must become a
limited social institution, living on
IutIIlOIlcS VI OCIlSI udyS--dIlu d UHl-
versity which bars persecution
SCARED race cannot keep alive the
traditions of intellectual integrity, of
'noblesse. oblige, and of essential
democracy which have made our elder
universities play so great a role in
American life-or it must open it's
doors frankly and fairly to all who
can meet it's requirements of scholar
ship. The social unity of undergrad
uate life may suffer; but in intellec-
tual vigor there will be gain. A uni
versity, like preparatory school,
will, if it wishes prestige as a social
club, exclude or discourage the newer
immigrants; university which dedi-
Gates itself to the pursuit of truth and
which wishes to maintain itself as
hearthstone of the mind can make no
such determinations. Only the Russia
of the Cars did what our universi-
ties are beginning to do; only Poland,
Rumania, and Hungary do so today.
America cannot afford to class itself
with the most backward in Europe.

THINK HISTORY PROFESSOR RE-
SPONSIBLE FOR HARVARD
ANTI-JEW 'DRIVE''

Boston g. G. B.)-Professor Roger
B. Merriman is held to be responsible
for the move in the Harvard faculty
to limit the number Of Jewish stu
dents, it is learned on good authority.
Professor Merriman, who is teaching
history, has long been known, it is
said, for his hostility to Jews.
That the majority Of the faculty do
not share Professor Merriman's ami
mus is shown by the attitude of such
teacher as Professor Lyons, head of
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1922-06-16

Harvard is not the first American
university to attempt to limit the
proportion of Jews in it's midst. 1t
is merely the frankest. Other COL
leges have gone far further without
admitting it. The Harvard Faculty
passed a measure permitting more
elasticity in considering candidates
for admission on other grounds than
those of character and of scholarship.
The Faculty did not at first realize
that this meant discrimination against
the Jew; when it did, it rescinded the
action taken.
Yet the honorable action of the
problem of the Jew in American col
leges. The incident merely calls at
tention to the tendency in American
universities to establish an academic
Pale. Columbia University has in
the past two years reduced the per-
centage of Jews in her incoming
classes from 40 per cent to %; New
York University is reported to have
effected an even more stringent reduc-
ton; and other universities have
adopted or are considering similar
methods. 1t is a matter which COL
lege presidents have discussed among
themselves, and which has been whis-
pered about at Faculty meetings. It
was high time to haul it out into the
limelight.
Let us face the question in all
frankness. In the two decades be-
fore the war flood of Jews poured
out of Russia and Poland into the
United States. They had not the
same cultural background as the Ger
man Jewish immigration; they came
from the ghettos of the Pale; the ira
dition of persecution and discrimina-
ton, even of pogroms, ran red in their
veins. We let them heap up in our
dingiest tenements and tolerated ex-
ploitation of them in our darkest
sweatshops. Their own efforts, their
brought them little of this worlds
goods, and they are now sending their
sons to college. With all their hunt
for money they have retained an ex-
traordinary respect for learning. A
larger proportion Of Jews go to col
lege than of any other race in Ameri-
ca. They are, accordingly, flooding
the universities in the cities where
they have congregated. The College
of the City of New York has become
an overwhelmingly Jewish college
more than 80 per cent Of it's students
are Jews. Columbia's Jewish per-
centage crept steadily upward until,
in 1919, the freshman class entering
the college was more than 40 per
cent Jewish. The Wharton School of
Commerce, the largest department of
the University of Pennsylvania, has
27 per cent Jews, and the medical
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1922-06-16

At Harvard the percentage, which ten
years ago was between and 10, has
reached 20. And these Jews, coming
increasingly from poor immigrant
homes, are often unable to live in the
college dormitories or to share in un-
dergraduate life-even if they were
wanted. Many of them live at home,
eat pocket lunch on the college
campus, and leave the university
grounds to earn the money for their
tuition by night work. Many retain
the gregariousness born of life in the
Pale, and remain only half -assimi-
lated.
1t is natural that university Off
cials should attempt to stem this tide.
AS Mr.. ]. P. Gavit put it in the New
York Evening Post, there are "col-
leges which are simp ply young gentle
mems country clubs for the pleasant
prolongation of the period of adoles
cence." There is also the genteel ira
dition at Harvard, Yale, and Prince
ton. Graduation from them has in
the past carried with it a rather ele-
mentary but still real degree of social
prestige. The infiltration of a mass
of pushing young men with foreign
accent, accustomed to overcome dis
elimination by self assertion, would
obviously change the character of un-
dergraduate life at any of these in
stitutions and lessen it's social pres
tige.
So the discrimination has begun
Some colleges have appointed local
alumni committees which meet and
pass upon candidates from their cities,
method obviously open to abuse.
Others have adopted tests Of "char-
acter," or a system of psychological
tests. 1t is widely charged that the
psychological tests have been used to
discriminate against Jews; certainly
the drop in percentage of Jews which
has frequently followed their applica-
tion is extremely suspicious in view
Of the previous complaint that the
Jews ran away with all the prizes
and scholarships. Columbia College
has combined with mental tests
only are his "outside" school activi-
ties considered, but the principal of

of old American stock is likely to
rank low the boy from an immigrant
home who is excluded from some of
the social life of his fellows by preju-
dice and by the need of earning his
own way from more. Other colleges

of one Eastern college said to an edi-
