History of Antisemitism at Elite Colleges

Antisemitism is a weapon with many uses and origins. I wonder if these profs who are young rather than old know that Princeton, along with many American colleges and universities, had restrictions on the number of Jewish applicants for a good part of our history in the 20th century and even before. This legacy could make them a bit more concerned about the current rise of antisemitism on campus on behalf of the interest of those fighting in Gaza.
