Knickerbocker Case
The Knickerbocker Case at the City College of New York (CCNY) between 1945 and 1950 involved accusations of antisemitism against a department chairman, investigations by university, city, and state authorities, as well as by the American Jewish Congress, and the first widespread student strike in the United States.

William E. Knickerbocker had graduated from City College in 1904 and joined the faculty in 1907, teaching Spanish and French. He earned his Ph.D. from Columbia in 1911. He had been Chairman of the Department of Romance Languages, an elected position, since 1938. By one account, antisemitism was endemic in certain academic areas in the 1930s to the extent that a Jewish professor, Bernard Levy, could not find a publisher without enlisting his non-Jewish colleague, Knickerbocker, as co-author of his ''Modern Spanish Prose Readings, 1830-1930''.〔Ivriah Krumbein Levine, ''Many Worlds, One Faith'' (2004), 13. Levy had a doctorate and held the title of Instructor at the time.〕
On April 9, 1945, four members of the Department of Romance Languages—Elliott H. Pollinger, Ephraim Cross, Otto Müller, and Pedro Bach-y-Rita—sent a letter to the president of the college accusing William E. Knickerbocker of antisemitism.〔Morris Freedman, "The Knickerbocker Case," ''Commentary'', August 1945.〕 They contended that Knickerbocker had made antisemitic remarks and denied the Ward Medal for proficiency in French to a Jewish student, Morton Gurewitch, because he was Jewish.
In April 1947, CCNY administrators issued a report finding that a clerical error had led to the denial the Ward Medal to Gurewitch. Gurewitch was later issued a duplicate medal.
