The Reich Government has enacted the following law…:
Article 3
In those special schools and faculties where the number of pupils and students is greatly disproportionate to professional demand, the number of registered students must be reduced during the 1933 school year as far as is consistent with proper proportion, without excessive rigor.
Article 4
The number of non-Aryan Germans, within the definition of the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service (of 7 April 1933, RGB1 I, p. 175), who may be admitted to schools, colleges and universities, must not exceed a number proportionate to the Aryan students in each school, college or university compared to the percentage of non-Aryans within the entire German population. This proportion is fixed uniformly for the whole Reich.
If, in accordance with Article 3, the number of pupils and students is to be reduced, a proper proportion must likewise be established between the total number of students and the number of non-Aryans. In doing so, a somewhat higher proportion may be fixed.
Clauses 1 and 2 do not apply in the case of non-Aryans whose fathers fought at the front during the World War for Germany or her allies, or to children whose parents were married before the enactment of this law, if the father or mother or two of the grandparents are of Aryan origin. The number of these students is not to be included when calculating the quota of non-Aryans.
