Lipset Estimates Quarter of Ivy League Profs Jews

PHILADELPHIA (JTA)—Twenty-
five per cent of Ivy League school
professors are Jews, noted Dr.
Seymour Lipset, professor of gov-
ernment and sociology at Harvard
University, while speaking before
a division of the 1971 Allied Jewish
Appeal-Israel Emergency Fund
campaign here.
Dr. Lipset discussed the role of
the Jew in the academic commu-
nity, pointing out that this figure
represents a tremendous change
since 1945, when Jewish presence
in the academic community was
small because of overt anti-
Semitism.
He said, "the largest concentra-
tion of Jews is in the two major
free professional fields, medicine
and law, "because these areas are
prestigious and least subject to the

.......

prejudices and whims of employ-
ers. Dr. Upset explained Jewish
activity in academia as being a
product of Jewish culture.
