Further, given that few Jews attended university until after World War I, of the 122 honourees who graduated after 1927, 64 seem not to be Jews. While we do not have concrete statistics of Jewish enrollment at UC, it is unlikely that Jews ever constituted a majority. Consequently, it would not be an overstatement that the impact of Jewish alumni has been out of proportion to their numbers.

Courtesy UC Archives In this period, the gradual erosion of traditional barriers to Jews in employment and opportunity and their socioeco - nomic ascendance meant that a high proportion of Jews went on to post-secondary education. As such, UC developed a reputation as “the Jewish College.” A curso - ry glance of the Junior Common Room (JCR) wall’s list of the members of the Lit Executive reveals that, from 1958 to 1966, about 55% of its representatives were Jewish. Michael Bliss (BA 1962 UC), in his memoir, remembers that the JCR was referred to as “the Jewish Common Room,” not in a disparaging tone, but as a matter of fact.
The Colleges were a beehive of extra-curricular activity. From athletics to music to drama, they were an essential aspect of the student experience. At UC, the activity most associated with Jewish students was the annual Follies.
