using this discriminatory
system 10 years ago.
Benny Friedman's gridi-
ron achievements certainly
didn't topple these barriers
but they were probably
more effective in changing
the attitude of the academic
officials and alumni respon-
sible for them than most of
the logic and appeals to jus-
tice to which Jewish leaders
resorted.
Athletics, then as now,
were big business to the
big universities and dis-
criminatory rules that
deprived them of poten-
tial Benny Friedmans
weren't good sense.
We'll remember Benny
Friedman. He elated us and
he made us 10 feet tall.

While it is incumbent
upon a Jew never to forget
Jerusalem during the
course of his experiences,
and he may experience a
moment of regret and sad-
ness during the week, on the
Sabbath and holidays the
atmosphere must not be
marred with a spirit of re-
gret and sadness. Thus an-
other Psalm is substituted
for the 137th Psalm, which
deals with the destruction of
the Temple.
This Psalm (the 126th)
also brings to mind
Jerusalem and Zion, but in
a context of happy expecta-
tion. The Psalm speaks of
the dream of the return to
Zion. It speaks of the steps
that served as the platform
of the Levites in their ex-
perience of happiness in the
Temple of Jerusalem.
It emphasizes the ex-
pectation that the cries of
woe will turn into the
laughter of joy, that the
frowns of regret will turn
into the smile of
homecoming. Out of the
concern for the present
will come the dream of
the future yet to be
realized.
Thus the Jew is fulfilling
his requirement to re-
member the Temple that
was once destroyed without
sinking into an atmosphere
of gloom, and aspiring to the
future of hope.

ment in the Galilee, by

(one of a series seeking to
combat prejudice agaist
minorities), Dr. Edward
F. McSeeney pointed ouit
that discrimination
against the Irish immig-
rants and then against
the German-Americans
(in the aftermath of
World War I) was being
followed by "the current
attempt to deprive the
Jew of the right to educa-
tional equality."
Many, if not most of the
country's most prestigious
institutions, including
Harvard and the other Ivy
League schools, had in ef-
fect rigorous limitations on
the admission of Jewish
students. In some schools it
was a certain percentage —
in Europe they called that
system the "numerus
clausus."
In others, they had a geo-
graphical setup with admis-
sions, except for the sons of
alumni, restricted by states
with admissions from states
like New York and New
Jersey with their relatively
large proportion of Jewish
applicants most severely re-
stricted. Purdue Univer-
