Leipziger of New Orleans, one of the most popular ministers of the South. Especial interest attaches to Rabbi Leipziger's visit because his boyhood was spent in Detroit and his earliest religious training was re- ceived in the Religious School of I Temple Beth El. His subject will be: "Is All Israel One?" The sermon on Sabbath morning of the coming week will be preached by Rabbi Franklin. "Tut-ankh-Amen, thy face benign, Reveals a spirit rare and fine; I gaze enraptured, I confess It equals Khonsu's comeliness— Ile the pure god of blonde moonshine, So true to contour and in line It warms my fancy like strong wine.

However, all regularly scheduled meetings will take place as heretofore. Particular attention is called to the fact that Rabbi Berkowitz will be absent from the city from Jan. 18 to 26 and Rabbi Franklin leaves De- troit on Jan. 21 to be gone about 12 days. No functions at which the services of the rabbis are required should be fixed for these dates. In their absence from the city all mat- ters pertaining to congregational business should be communicated to the administration offices of the Tem- ple, Empire 6146. I can glad that such an intellectual weekly as the Freeman agrees with us on the undesirability of establishing ■ Jewish university as a protest against the discrimination on the part of some universities I quote the statement in full, •s I am anxious that against the Jews. those well meaning but misguided co-religionists who are urging such step should appreciate the thoughtful Gentile view. Says the editor • of the Freeman: "Discrimination against Jewish candidates for admission to American colleges and universities is just the kind of thing that helps convert the members of a racial minority into a solidly organized clan. Rabbi Louis Newman of New York City has said recently that 'a Jewish university in America is inevitable of the present policy of discrimination and ex- clusion gains ground.' The rabbi believe that the new uni- versity should be Jewish only in the sense that it should be under Jewish control, and free from anti-Semitism; but it is too much to expect of human nature that an institution founded in self-defense could be kept from prejudice against the non- Jewish population. Rabbi Newman says that many staunch Jews will look upon the establishment of such a university, not as a solution of the problem of academic anti-Semitism, but as a confession of inability to solve it. This, we think, is putting it too mildly, for the solidification of the minority can- not but serve to increase the friction between the groups." the front page.

No reason I can find justifies the existence of this law upon the statute books. It is wrong in principle. It is a violation of the spirit of our Constitution and it is un- warranted interference with freedom of opinion—one of the foundation stones of democratic government.
