Studies of Jewish College Students: A Review and a Replication.
- Authors
Lavender, Abraham D.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the large increase of Jewish students who enroll in higher education during 1910-1920. With the great increase, significant pressure was begun to keep Jewish students out of certain Eastern colleges. Anti-Jewish quotas got to a high point in the 1920s and 1930s with several school maintaining them until the end of World War II. With the decrease of quotas and the continued expansion of higher education the Jewish enrollment in higher education has increased to the point to an estimated 80-90 percent of Jewish youth of college age are in college in 1970s.
