But, in contrast to this grudging
view are those, even among the re-
strictionists, who assert that the Jew
is superior. "It is a fact" one re-
marks, "that on the average, the He
brews are brighter than the rest
of u.s." Another sees in this undoubt-
ed fact a compensatory value: "They
don't do much socially, but they serve
the university by keeping up the in
tellectual standards"
One of the more careful papers diff
ferentiates between two general types
of Hebrew: (1) "Those who, with the
Chinese, are the intellectual leaders
Of all universities, who have grown
beyond particular race, being of uni
versal intellect, and (2) those who are
domineering, eager for advancement,
pushing, disliked even by other MEM
bers of their own race" He remarks
further: Zone must remember that
race which has been so oppressed is
bound to take keen delight in it's
own prowess, to boast of it's achieve
ment, to give undue prominence to
any fancied injury, even to become
arrogantly Objectionable. To deal
with them, college must follow
policy of elastic limitation, one which
allows for differences, BECAUSE" says
he, "it must be granted that the fact
that the Puritans arrived first and
stole the land from the Indians should
give them no prior lien on Harvard
Yard and it's privileges"
A few of the restrictionists have a
black outlook upon the racial ques-
ton. Grace prejudice" AYERS one, "is
inevitable. All that we can do is to
keep it at p, minimum, and the best
way to do that is to avoid contact that
is irritating" One gloomy youth
says: "College experience has magni-
fled my race prejudice, because. I have
been brought into unpleasant rela-
tions with races that I did not know
before" "Jews are an unassimilable
race, as dangerous to college as in
digestible food to a man. They
have put Russia in bad way!" Two
students find a parallel to Jewish ex-
clusion in measures adopted to keep
out Orientals. One of these does not
confine his suspicious to the Jews, but
would also exclude the Irish cor what
amounts to the same thing, the Catho-
lies" The latter, by the way, long
ago saw the folly of forcing them
selves on the American college, and
built institutions of their own. This
is the way out for the Jews. They
will have full freedom in place popu-
lated by themselves" Another finds
an instructive parallel in the case of
the Negroes. "I do not despise
Negro, although I have lived in the
Southland, indeed, we couldn't get
along without them and their planta-

count" "Were it only matter of
scholarship, there would be no objec-
tion to Jews at ALL" But "they do
not mix. They destroy the unity of
the college. They are distasteful to
the men who have made Harvard what
it is today, and if we do not look out,
these men will not send their sons to
Harvard"
Now why is it that the presence of
the Jew is so inimical to this highly
desirable atmosphere" that is the
cynosure Of endowment-givers and
their sons? The restrictionists agree
that it is because of the Objectionable
personal character of the Hebrew.
They bristle with accusations, the
general effect of which is to make
him seem as hard to live with as a
porcupine. A few say that he is in
this condition irredeemably; the rest
imply that if he would only improve
his manners and get new ancestors,
his chances would be better. "The
Jewish race makes Take away it's
motto, rather than Give and take
They are governed by selfshness.
They care nothing for the friends they
make save as future business ac-
quaintances; to them the social side
of college life is only so much twad-
die" They want property for power
rather than for use. Even in the gym
nasium they take possession of the
apparatus, not by using it, but by sit
ting on it." "Expediency is their
standard of action; traditions mean
nothing to them"-this of the Chosen
People! "They go through college as
cheaply as possible, and, having ac-
quired their education, depart to be
heard from no more, not even at the
most urgent solicitations of Loan
Fund collectors"
One accusation has to do with
scholarship. "In harmony with their
policy of getting all they can for as
little as possible, Jews incidentally
take majority of the scholarships.
Thus they deprive many worthy men
of other races of a chance" Here,
however, we must discriminate. There
is diversity of opinion as to the intel
lectual powers of the Jew. A consid-
cradle number of our gentlemen deny
that he is, on the average, more able
mentally than his critics. "He does
nothing but grind. Is it surprising
that he should make better grades
than those of us who have broader
interests? One aggrieved individual
who drew a rock-bottom grade in the
examination exclaims bitterly: "They
memorize their books! Thus they
keep the average of scholarship so
high that others with high degree of
common sense, but less parrot-knowl-
edge, are prevented from attaining a
representative grade"
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1922-09-08

to preserve a mere aristocratic tradi-
ton, but to keep the proportions on
which fruitful educational contact de-
pends, is justifable and democratic"
Not all the restrictionists took this
ground. Three maintained that "a
college is private institution and
can sell it's goods or not, as it sees
fit, to whomever it pleases." One as
serted that the overseers of a college
have no more to do with public veal
than the directors of a bank. One
even went so far as to compare Har-
ward College to an automobile (which
I am not obliged to lend to all comers
simply because they would like to
ride in it," For the most part, how
ever, the restrictionists agreed that
"while the endowed college is a pri-
vate corporation, it has public func-
tion, recognized by the state"
The founding fathers of course,
came in for a deal of attention. They,
it seems, wanted certain traditions
maintained, and it is duty to main
tain them because they align the col
lege with the church for noble and
light giving qualities" Moreover,
this inheritance is quite Anglo-Saxon.
In fact, "Harvard should be the natu-
raj segregating place of the Anglo
Saxons," for they founded this coun-
try and this college" "The Jews tend
to overrun the college, to. spoil it for
the native-born AngloSaxon young
persons for whom it was built and
whom it really wants"
In various ways would Harvard
College be injured by predominance
of the Jews. Those who favor limita-
ton shudder when they think of
what would happen to her prestige.
"Imagine having an alumni so
strongly Jewish that they could elect
their own president and officers! God
forbidv Eleven papers express great
concern over the prospects for en-
dowments in the future, and fear that
the alumni will cease to feel interest
in the college if Harvard fellowship
becomes too Semitic. But misgiving
as to the future product of the college
is more potent still and the reasoning
is like this: The aim of the college is
to graduate men who will take high
positions in the affairs of the country.
The college cannot graduate such men
without finding such material among
the freshmen. The, presence of this
material depends upon the reputation
of the institution, which, in turn, rests
upon cosmopolitan balance of races
in it's student body.
There is unanimous agreement in
this group that college education is
more than a matter of academic
knowledge" rather, it consists of $50
cial, intellectual, and athletic achieve
ment. Admission to the college can
not be based on mere knowledge;
personality must be taken into ac-

What do the. students at Harvard
think of the Jew? Do they favor
policy of limitation? If they do, is
it because they are "anti-Semitic,
caste-ridden, afflicted with the dry
rot of exclusiveness ?" Or are they
trying tolerantly to reach a conclu-
sion on a vexing problem? What is
the character of their mental process
es? Such questions suggest them
selves at time when Fair Harvard's
fairness is excitedly being called in
question by those who imply, if they
do not assert, that the college has
become hot-bed of anti-JeWish feel
ing.
What are the facts? Opportunity
to get at them offered itself at the end
of the college year, when, in a class
in the department of Social Ethics,
DR.. Richard C. Cabot gave the follow
ing as a part of the examination:
DISCUSS as fairly as you can this
question: For the good Of all persons
concerned, is college ever ethically
justified in limiting to a certain per-
centage the number of any particular
race who are admitted to the fresh
man class each year,"
The students concerned were from
the three upper classes. For year
they had been considering the ethics
of human relationships, of property,
of veracity, of freedom and restraint,
confidence and suspicion. They had
participated in the give and take of
Socratic discussion, had sensed the
standards of thinking that their teach
er maintained, and had felt the chal-
lenge of his trenchant hatred of hum
bug. Consequently, there was every
incentive to eschew balderdash and to
add to the average of the years
marks by demonstration of the
processes of rational thought.
The bald facts of the lineup are
these: Of the eighty-three men ex-
amined, forty-one believed in the JUS
tice of policy of race-limitation un-
der certain circumstances. Thirty
four held that such policy was never
justified. Eight stayed on the fence.
Of this last group one name was Jew
ish. Seven of those who opposed re-
striction had Jewish names. Those
who favored it were all Gentiles.
All the proponents of limitation
made the assumption that the number
of Jews in Harvard College was
increasing out of all proportion
to the increase in the number
of other races, and argued that this
boded i'll for the future of the insti-
tuition. Harvard is an American
college, devoted to American ideals,
maintained for the good of the great
est number. If it becomes topheavy
from an over-supply of some one race,
it serves neither that race nor Ameri-
ca" Harvard must maintain a cos
mopolitan balance. Restriction, not

Then there will be the homely

all hope that she will ever become

promoters of the style show. This
girl will be transformed by clothes

There will also be in the style
