Jewish Academics
`Joining The Club'
JOSEPH COHEN
Special to The Jewish News
The publication of Dan A.
Oren's Joining The Club: A His-
tory of Jews and Yale (Yale Uni-
versity Press) provides us with a
valuable and impressive if, often-
times a too dry and plodding,
yardstick for measuring the pro-
gress American Jews have made
in the halls of academe. His study
is all-inclusive: it details Jewish
enrollments at Yale from the be-
ginning, exclusionary policies,
bias in faculty appointments,
club and fraternity bigotry, dis-
criminatory financial aid prac-
tices, and Jewish responses to an
educational environment that
started out to be friendly, turned
ugly and remained hostile for de-
cades, and finally became more
accepting after the end of the
Second World War.
The history of Jews at Yale is
to a certain extent representative
of the history of Jews at other
private institutions in America
and some of the public univer-
sities as well. The pattern is well
known. Late 18th Century and
19th Century biases against Jews
because they were different
(meaning determined, singular,
"foreign," often but not always
impoverished, bright and non-
Christian) became entrenched
and powerful enough to close off
campus social life but not access
to educational opportunities.
With the coming of a national
wave of anti-Semitism at the be-
ginning of the 20th Century, edu-
cational access was severely
limited through the imposition of
discriminatory quotas which re-
mained in place at many schools
until the 1960s. Quotas for medi-
cal school admissions were exces-
sively onerous although at Yale
and elsewhere it was ironically
the humanities faculties who
were the most blatant ar-
ticulators of hate. English de-
partments were frequently the
worst bastions of intolerance.
Still, at Yale and elsewhere
too, there were hardy individual
Jews who bucked the system, suf-
fered their slights and went on to
achieve national prominence.
Judah P. Benjamin, "the brains
of the Confederacy," was the sec-
ond known Jew to enroll at Yale,
though he left without taking a
degree. Other famous Jewish
Yalies include Eugene V. Rostov,
Mark Rothko (Marcus
Rothkowitz), Elliott E. Cohen,
Max Lerner, Abe Fortas and De-
troiter Richard Ellmann, the
world's leading James Joyce
scholar.
As an English professor, I
found the chapter dealing with
faculty appointments totally ab-
sorbing. There were few posts
open to Jews and hardly any at
senior levels until recent times.
In the 1930s, those Jews who as-
pired to academic careers were
forced to compromise themselves
either by denying their Jewish-
