from questionnaires to the deans of 65 medical colleges, 57 of
whom returned replies, Thirty-four of the schools gave complete
data on Jewish and non-Jewish graduates. Ten more schools gave
data which were regarded as approximately accurate. The data
for the remaining schools were not definite enough for use. The
results are based upon the 44 schools that gave complete or nearly
complete replies. (The proportions for the 34 schools that gave
exact data were averaged with the proportions obtained for all the
44 schools. The resulting proportions are given in Table 2).

It is apparent that an increasing proportion of the graduates
of medical schools are Jewish. The proportion of Jews has almost
daubled in the last decade. This has occurred despite the growing
tendency to limit the number of Jewish students admitted to medical
schools. Whether the increase in the proportion of Jewish medical
students is actual or only apparent is debatable. It might be argued,
for instance, that the estimates of the proportion of Jewish medi-
cal students for recent years are more accurate than the estimates
for the earlier years because of the greater prominence of the Jew-
ish problem in recent days. If this assumption is tenable, the pro-
portion of Jewish medical students may be no greater today than it
was in 1924, and may even be smaller.
To what extent are Jewish students applying for admission to
medical schools? On this problem, too, there are no reliable and
comprehensive data. A survey of the published lists of those who
took the medical aptitude tests in 1933 (published Dec. 1933) re-
vealed that 32 per cent of the names appeared to be of Jewish
origin. According to the estimate of a dean of one of the Eastern
medical schools, based upon an examination of the names on the
same list, about half of those who sought admission to medical
school in 1932 were Jews. The total number seeking admission to
medical school in 1932 was 12,280. II the dean's estimate is cor-
rect, about 6,000 of the applicants were Jews and 6,000 non-Jews.
AccOrding to the best estimate of the number of Jewish candidates
admitted, only 17 per cent of the 6,000 successful candidates were
Jews. That is, about 1,000 Jews were admitted and 6,000 Jews
were rejected. In the non-Jewish group, the proportions were re-
versed. Five thousand were admitted and 1,000 rejected. Whether
the medical schools can be blamed for this condition or not, the
tremendous number of rejected Jewish applicants certainly calls for
a reorientation of the vocational ambitions of Jewish profession.
ally-minded students. Similar results were obtained by Rypins in
an analysis of the data regarding the number of applications and
acceptances in the medical schools located in New York City. These
data are presented in Table 3.

Fully 27 per cent of the applications of non-Jews were accepted,
while only 6.2 per cent or less than one-fourth as many of the
applications of Jews were accepted. A non-Jewish application to
a medical school in New York City seems to have four times as many
chances of being accepted as a Jewish application. Part of this
discrepancy in chances of acceptance between Jew and non-Jew
is probably duo to the fact that many Jewish students, especially
those who are in great doubt of being accepted, make it very large
number of applications. This practice may increase the chance of
their being accepted; but it increases unduly the number of Jewish
applications. No data were available on the number of individual
Jewish applicants in general. Information was available, however,
on the number of applications made by each of the students of the
College of the City of New York who applied to New York City
medical schools. Since the great majority of these students are
Jewish, the number of applications made by them may be taken as
an estimate of the number of applications Jewish students tend to
Make. For the year 1929, 209 City College students applied to
the recorder of the college for record transcripts to accompany
their applications to medical schools. These 209 students requested
543 letters of recommendation to New York City medical schools, or
an average of 2.6 letters per applicant. ' Since among the Jewish
students of City College are probably found a good representation
of the group that made the maximum number of applications per
applicant, it is safe to assume that 2:6 per cent applications per
student is the upper limit of the average of the number of appli-
cations for the Jewish student applying to New York City medical
schools. Applying this figure to the total number of Jewish appli-
cations to New York City medical schools in Table 3, we find that
the number of Jewish applicants was 1,401.
According to Myers, the average number of applications per ap-
plicant for all medical school candidates was 2.3 in 1929. Since
the rate for Jewish applicants was 2.6, the rate for the non-Jewish
must be 1.7 in order to result in an average of 2.3 for the entire
group. Applying this figure to the New York City data in Table
3, we find that there was a total of 2,063 applicants in 1929. The
following table gives the calculated number of applicants and the
number of accepted' applicants for Jews and non-Jews for 1929

We agree with the newspapers that it is
important that every good citizen cast his
ballot in the city election.
We agree that it is important to elect a good
mayor for Detroit.
We agree that it is important that Detroit
have a Non-Partisan city government.
We agree that all these things are of crucial
significance for Detroit and, also, because of
Detroit's prominence among American cities,
for the Nation.
That is why we are placing before the voters
a ticket and a platform that is truly represen-
tative of the overwhelming majority of Detroit
citizens. And, furthermore, a ticket that is
really Non-Partisan.
Our Platform faces the issues of good gov-
ernment squarely. Our candidates do not hide
behind a smoke screen of banal generalities or
personalities. Our ticket is the issue in this
campaign.
That issue is simply this:
Shall the people or the industrialists rule
Detroit?

Thus, even according to our conservative estimates, 16 per cent
or one•sixth of the Jewish applicants were accepted and five-sixths
rejected. For the non-Jews, about half are accepted and the other
half rejected. This result 'is in close agreement with the results
reported by Lazaron. An analysis of the data on pre-medical
students at the College of the City of New York throws additional
light on the problem of the Jewish pre-medical student. It is esti-
mated that more than 80 per cent of the present student body of
the College of the City of New York are Jews. Eighty per cent
of the present student body of the College of the City of New York
are Jews. Medicine is a very popular vocational choice with these
students and has been so for many decades. While the proportion
of men choosing professional courses in general. and medicine in
particular, has declined sharply at Princeton and Yale since the
turn of the century, the proportion at City College has maintained
an even level at about 15 per cent. A study of the pretmedical stu-
dents who matriculate at C. C. N. Y. will reflect largely the fate
of the urban Jewish.pre-medical group as a whole. The difficulties
that the City College men face are enhanced by two factors. First,
they come from a metropolitan area and attempt to inter the New
York City Schools. Furthermore, City College has no medical
school of its own. Whether the Jewish origin of these students plays
an important part in their problem is not definitely known. In
Table 5, the data for the rate of admissions to medical schools for
City College men are compared with the rate for the country at
large.
