Manitoba Medical School
Denies Rejecting Jews

MONTREAL (JTA) — Charges
that Jewish Students were re-
jected by the medical school of
the University of Manitoba were
denied here by Justice A. K.
Dysart, chairman of the Board
of Governors, who appeared be-
fore a special committee of the
Manitoba Legislature.

The charges contained in a
brief presented by Hyman Soko-
lof, of t h e Avukah Society,
claimed that "in the admission
of applicants to' medicine a vi-
,cious and bigoted system h a s
been adopted and practiced for
12 years." -

Justice Dysart answered t h e
charges by claiming "that a quota
system limiting the number of
medical students became effec-
tive in 1932." He asserted that
no compthints had been made
to the board of governors, add-
ing that the university now has
a total of 2,400 students, includ-
ing 368 Jews, the Jewish student
body representing 15.3 percent of
the whole.
