"August 8, 1945 - Dartmouth College Restricts Admission of Jewish Students ?to Prevent Anti-semitism?
New York, Aug. 7 (JTA) ? Jewish students who apply for admission to Dartmouth College are denied entrance simply because they are Jews, President Ernest M. Hopkins admitted in a statement today to the New York Post.
'We cut the quotas more on our Jewish applicants than we do the basis of applications from Anglo-Saxons,' he is quoted by the Post as declaring. 'I think if you were to let Dartmouth become predominantly Jewish, it would lose its attraction for the Jews." He added that "Dartmouth is a Christian college founded for the Christianization of its students.'
In a letter to Herman Shumlin, movie and theatrical producer, Dr. Hopkins had written: 'I should not be willing to see the proportion of Jews in the college so greatly increased as to arouse widespread resentment and develop widespread prejudice in our own family.' He added that the Dartmouth quota system had been set up to prevent anti-Semitism. 'I think that thing (anti-Semitism) is a definite possibility in this country,' he added.
August 31, 1945 - President of Dartmouth College Resigns, Will Issue Statement on 'Jewish Quota' Issue
New York, Aug. 30 (JTA) ? Dr. Ernest Martin Hopkins, president of Dartmouth College, who endorsed and defended the quota system under which the number of Jewish students in Dartmouth is arbitrarily limited, has resigned, but the status of the quota system is still unclear.
However, it is understood that a statement on the question will be issued by Dr. Hopkins prior to Nov. 1, when the new president, John Sloan Dickey, director of the State Department's Office of Public Affairs, takes over."

 | Kaufman's Department Store, Colorado Springs, CO (Abt. 1948)
"COLORADO CULTURAL RESOURCE SURVEY:
Kaufman's Department Store moved to this location in 1948, from across the street at 28 S. Tejon Avenue.
Kaufman's Department Store was founded in Colorado Springs by Mose and Sam Kaufman in 1896; they were joined by B.S. Kaufman in 1897 and Oscar Livermore in 1900. Richard Moses Livermore assumed leadership of the company in 1934, following the death of Oscar Livermore.
The store carried clothing for men, women, children, and infants, as well as accessories. Morris Guberman acquired a controlling interest in the company in July 1941 and became its president and general manager.
The building underwent a dramatic remodeling in preparation for Kaufman's occupancy in 1948. Plans to give the building a striking Modern appearance were developed by local architect E.L. Bunts and the store design division of Amos Parrish & Co. of New York in 1946. The building's owner, the Myron Stratton Home Foundation, spent $250,000 on remodeling the building, while Kaufman's spent the same amount on interior decoration. The Gazette-Telegraph opined that the transformation had resulted in 'the most strikingly modern store between Chicago and the Pacific coast.' Finished in blue terra cotta, Colorado native red sandstone, and California redwood, with a front glass window-wall, it is the last word in modern buildings, it blends with the landscape and takes its color from the sky and red rocks of Colorado.'" |
