Excerpt from Shylock Not a Jew
Twice two thousand years ago, one of the greatest of Hebrew prophets looked forward to a day when "the lion and the lamb shall lie down together." Two hundred years ago a philosopher, Hebrew to the core in spite of his heterodoxy, declared that things which have nothing in common with each other cannot be understood through one another. Twenty years ago, a deep-thinking, hot-spirited but keenly sensitive undergraduate, proud of the Jewish blood in his veins and of the traditions behind him but overflowing with bitterness at a social atmosphere that cast these in his face, stood before his classmates; in scathing invective, he gave vent to his indignation against a civilization the veneer upon which was so thin that the soul of the original animal in the Jew-baiter could not but show through, nay more, even be blessed with the sanction of the college authorities.
