Allport Speaks On Jewish Tolerance

Members of Hillel House strongly questioned Gordon D. Allport '20, professor of Psychology, when he announced that according to most surveys the Jews were the "least bigoted" religious group, at a lecture last night.

One member of the Hillel House audience questioned the accuracy of the surveys, some of them taken for Allport's seminars. He suggested that those who took the tests may have answered the way it seemed expected of them and not truthfully.

Another spectator objected "purely on emotional grounds' to the generalization that one group is less free of bigotry than another. One listener added that many Jews were extremely conscious about others' social and educational backgrounds.
