The meeting was called hy the Students Committee, rqjrescntiutj the Jewi-sJi and non-Jcwi'ih shicicnt hndy in colleges and Hnivcrsilie-; in New York.
The committee was chosen after the mass mcctuij? had listened lo the ad- drcsbes of Prol. Frederick B. Robinson, president o£ City CoUckc, Norm.m Thomas, Bishoi> Panl Join:=5, Congress¬ man William I. Sirovich, Nathan B. Pcrlnian, 13, C. Vladcck, and Louis Mar¬ shall, president of ihc Americm Jewish Committee. The Committee, which in¬ cluded Arllmr Meycrson of i='ordham Law School, Robert Delson of Columlita Law School and Jack Nitzburg of City College, published the texl of tlic resohi- tiou which urges the governments of the several countries to put an enil to the numerous ctausiis and expresses the Sympathy of the American student body "with all those whose laudable efforts to secure an education, whicli we look upon as an elementary rif^ht, h.ive been pras- trated."    The rcbohition read;
"We have long been aware o[ the fact that in recent years there have occurred in various East European countries out- bre<iks of hatred, prejudice and aninioij- ity on the part 01 btudcntb in the iubtitu- tions of hifflicr leartiini; at^aiu^t Jewish students seeking an education. The latter have been subjected to insults and indig¬ nities, and frequently to physical violence The former have been encouraged in this extraordinary attitude hy some of tlieir teachers. In .some of these countries the so-called nunicrus clausus has been adop¬ ted with the unmistakable intention of de¬ priving Jewish students of cultural op¬ portunities. The direct consequence of such action lias been to withhold from the Jews of these several lands the right to ec]uix> themselves for the struggle of life to contribute to the upbuilding and development of the lands in which they live, and to give evidence of their pa¬ triotic desire to advance the ititerests of their respective countries.
"Appreciating as we do the exalted ideals of America, where all citizens are looked upon ah e(]uals before the law, where the youth of tlic country are en¬ couraged, regardless of race, creed or national origin, to jmrsue every form of higher learning, and where it is demon¬ strated, that our country's cultural life and its material prosperity have been greatly enlunccd by this just and liberal educational policy, wc sympathize with the youth of other lands who have been arbitrarily hindered in their efforts to draw inspiration at '|the fountains of learning.
"Much as we have grieved because of the hostile discrimination which Jewish students have thus suffered in foreign lands, wc have been inexpressibly shocked by recent occurrences in various of those countries. There has been a persistent attempt on the part of students who regard themselves as Christians, to eject by violent means their Jcwisli associates out of the schools to which they have been admitted, to indulge in demonstra¬ tions of disapproval of any govern¬ mental action intended to moderate the rigor of the mimerus clausits regulation, and to tlireateii tlte lives of Jewish stu¬ dents who have shown the courage to insist upon the cherished right to receive instruction. Within the past fortnight there was a great gathering of Christian students at Oradea Mare, who 50 far forgot their manhood, their allegiance to the State, tlie Constitution and laws of their own land and the obligations of justice and the instincts of humanity, as to form themselves into mobs, to indulge in systematic riots of which the Jews were victims, to destroy syna¬ gogues in various towns, lo assault the worshippers and to commit the abhor¬ rent crime of deniiug and desecrating the Holy Scrolls which contain the sacred wonls of Holy Writ traditionally revered throughout the civilized world by Jew and non-Jew alike Wc camiot believe that such outrages can have (he sanction of any Government, but we cannot ignore that a stories of acts of such lung continuance as those detailed cannot have escaped public notice, for they have been lieralded on both sides of the Atlantic.
"We therefore adopt this nietliod of voicing the indignation and the sorrow «iitertauiod by all riglit-minded men and women ia ttie face of such exhibitions of
riuhh'ss iinoleiam.e and prejnitice. We I'xleiKt our sinip.ilhy to all those wliose huidahle cfForts lo secure an education, which we look upon as an elementary right, have been frustrated. We most respi'itfiilly urpie upon the Governments f tlir several lands in which these abuses exist, to put an end lo the nwncrus clau^us, whctlicr it operate directly or in¬ directly, to recognize the ccpiality of all students, and to afford to all of them lirotcclion and security in tlieir civil, religious and political rights and adc- /[uatc guarantees, against their uivasion and the infliction of Iht 'nsults, hu¬ miliation and violence wnich unfortunate¬ ly have become habitual. In what wc have said we are actuated by feelings of friendship and kindliness to all picn. Above all we are inspired b> the great ideas of human equality and the eternal principles of ri^ht and justice, in whose name we ask for a cessation of the wrongs which have been perpetrated and which have embittered the lives of our fellow-.studcnts who are struggling for an education,
'Be it Resolved that copies of this document be forwarded to the several countries in which the occurrences out¬ lined have taken place."

Will Welber and Frank V. Bayer, Captain Two
Busy Teams In Big Membership Drive
of Broad Street Temple
Harry Slasser Will Give Gala Banquet To The Victorious Team—Competition Between Captain Welber And Cap¬ tain Bayer Is Extraordinarily Keen—50 New Mem¬ bers Will Be Presented To Rabbi Rivlin On The Night 0( His OOicial Installation
Competition between the two tctims aiming to enroll fifty new members in tbe Tifereth Israel Congregation on East Broad Street as a special gift to the new Kabbl on the night of his installation in J^- uary has reached its zenith.
Will Welber, of the Golden Rtile Stores, is captain of the Gold Team of which I. H. Schlessingcr, Jack L. Feiner, Harry Gilbert, Sam Bcrman, Sol Goldstone, Mux S. Bogulin, Louis Schlcsinger, Louis Top¬ per, Joe Bornst«in and David Shrciher arc members. The Silver Team, headed by Frank V. Bayer, 8th Floor Atlas Building, has enlisted the following as members: J. K. Bornstein, B. F. Lcvinson, Albert Jaile, Aaron M. Neustadt, Julius Snider, David Pastor, M. L. Bayer, Charles Margtilies, Max Weinberger, and Walter Katz.
"Fifty Members or Bust" is the snappy and inspiring slogan adopted by Mr. Bayer in > urging his team to put the quota over thel top. The drive was inaugurated last week for the purpose of carrying out the goal of membership adopted when the new Temple was finishes a few months ago. If the fifty members will be enrolled, the men^ bership of the Tifereth Israel Congregation will stand at over two hun¬ dred families, which means that the congregation will have more than doubled its numbers since the opening of the new building.
To slimtilate interest among the two teams, Mr, Harry Masser has offered the winners, if they put tlie campaign over .successfully, a gala banquet to climax the competition. If they lose their goal each member of the two teams will have to "pitch in" and pay for the banquet them¬ selves. However, the teams expect to win out and will present Mr. Masser with a loving cup upon completion of the drive.
"Our happiest moment," Mr. Bayer confided, "will be when we present the fifty new members to our rabbi on the night of his in-* stallation."
"On this particular statement," declared Captain Welber to the Chronicle Editor, "I am in complete agreement with Mr. Bayer; but I insist that my team will inevitably be the ivimmtg team."
