Abstract:
Points out that until the Second World War there were admission quotas for Jewish university students in most European countries as well as in North America, and that, except in France, Jews had great difficulty getting appointments to faculty positions. Students' antisemitism often erupted violently. In Germany, German-born Jewish students were not subject to quotas, but in the 19th century unbaptized Jews had little chance of getting faculty apppointments; after the rise of racial antisemitism in the 1870s, baptized Jews faced almost equal prejudice. The Prussian ministers for higher education from 1897 onwards forced universities to appoint Jews, but even in the Weimar period Jews waited twice as long for advancement as non-Jews. Student organizations were virulently antisemitic, and by 1933 they were dominated by Nazis. Professors in the Wilhelmine and even more in the Weimar period were adverse to Jews; few protested when the Nazis dismissed Jews from all university positions.
