Abstract:

In 1933 at the University of North Carolina medical school, there was a quota on the number of Jewish students that were to be accepted into the program. Medical school dean Isaac Hall Manning kept Jewish students to about 10 percent of the overall program based on the argument that those students would not be accepted elsewhere after the program and the school's reputation would suffer. University president Frank Porter Graham argued against Manning's quota system on moral grounds until Manning resigned.
