In 1931 the President's efforts to remove the Dean of Women excited a controversy disproportionate to the true importance of the affair. In 1935 the state was startled by a scandal involving the extention division of the University. A year later a fight in the athletic department split alumni and others into two embattled factions.

But after he visited a famed rabbi in Munich, wandered through the ghetto in Berlin, talked with Zionists, Jewish workers, capitalists, he found himself appalled at the conduct of the Association of German National Jews. This organization supports Hitler, fights the Jewish boycott of German goods. Another group, the Nazi Jews, advocates complete loyalty to the Nazi program, and Gessner was told they leave their meetings giving the Nazi salute shouting, "Down With...
