There's an interesting book about that called The Third Reich and the Ivory Tower, written by Stephen H. Norwood. It has a long discussion about Harvard, and indeed the school's president, James Conant, did block Jewish faculty.

For this reason we are the enemies of capitalism which depends on the protection of the gendarme to oblige workers to allow themselves to…
