Mr. Lass in his essay calls for a
Sanhedrin of Jewish religious lead-
ers, “an authoritative body to ex-
pound the law and its applications,
to disentangle the truth from the
mass of falsehoods in which it is
enmeshed, to point the way to
clearer, saner, more vital Judaism.”
He requests that Judaism be mod-
ernized so that the skeptical college
youth may find it possible to ac-
cept it as a way of life.

into the picture of Vienna Jewry.
Vienna assimilated them all into a
unified Jewish community. Some-
times acting as the head, some-
times as the heart, Vienna Jewry
absorbed the Judaism of the East-
ern provinces, and in its turn fed
that Judaism to the Jews of the
Western part of the Austro-Hunga-
rian monarchy. At the same ’time
Vienna brought Western European
civilization to the Eastern Jews,
and thus unified the Jews in all
parts of the old monarchy. Vienna
was a unique Jewish gathering
place of the Diaspora, the largest
Jewish community of Europe, shed-
ding its rays of light upon Jewry
everywhere.

The records from typical univer-
sity centers indicate that the Jew’s
scholastic work has become medi-
ocre. In many instances cited by
Professor Sachar it has fallen be-
low the average, the statistics show-
ing the Jewish fraternities close to
the bottom of the list in scholarship
work.
“Those who have observed Jew-
ish students on the campuses of the
large universities have been struck
with the mediocrity of the group,”
writes Professor Sachar. “Their
sense of values is shoddy, their
outlook governed by the most
tawdry standards, their conversa-
tion as insipid as that of the aver-
age raccoon-coated Babbitt who
parades as a college bred. Where is
the tradition of the earnest young
intelectual, alert, fascinated by his
world, a patron of the Star
Courses and the lecture series, a
trifle ‘alien’ in his nervous excite-
ment over philosophical or economic
problems, but an individual, a per-
sonality, and not a dummy reacting
to the herd? I have looked for him
on campuses where the grades of
Jewish students have been quite
high, but he has usually been in
the quiet minority.
“The transformation is bewilder-
ing. Has the material so vastly de-
teriorated since the war? Some
critics have suggested that the fra-
ternities and sororities, aping the
older organized houses on the cam-
pus, have killed the intellectual
tradition. Since activity is more
important than scholarship in these
groups the Jewish student has done
his share to fashion the definition
of a college education as a process
which leads from an infantile
smaller firms disappeared alto-
gether. Factory buildings and
dwelling houses lost all their value
as a result of the economic crisis
and the special Austrian rent laws.
And thus, too, the Jewish producer
and merchant found himself unable
to obtain credits.

By M. A. TENENBLATT
From a Jewish population of two
and a half million in the old Aus-
tro-Hungarian monarchy, there
suddenly through a stroke of the
pen at the peace conference of Ver-
sailles remarked only a tenth of
this number in the new, shrunken
Austria. The Vienna Jewish com-
munity, which was formerly the
head of a Jewish population in an
empire of fifty million people, was
suddenly torn away from its body.
Nevertheless this amputated head
has shown enough vitality to create
its own body and to assure itself a
means of existence in crippled
Austria.
Formerly Vienna Jewry had a
Jewish population of several mil-
lions. Vienna Jewry represented in
