- Abstract
The article presents two surveys, made by the author, of Jewish students in Great Britain from 1936 till the eve of the War. The first survey made during the academic year 1936-7 covered nineteen Universities in Great Britain and Ireland. The second survey, which investigated certain details omitted by the former, covered eleven universities in Great Britain during 1938-9. The proportion of Jewish students receiving assistance in relation to non-Jewish varied from university to university. Owing to the proportion of students from abroad who were unendowed, the percentage of Jewish students with scholarships or grants was lower than among non-Jewish students. The numbers of Jewish students reading economics at the universities was investigated in greater detail by the second survey. Other profession usually associated with medicine as a favored choice of Jewish students, the law, is not to be compared with it in popularity. Law and teaching are the two professions, which deserve singling out by reason of their numerical importance and they probably did not attract more than one quarter of the Jewish graduates.
