"In 1889 the German-language conservative newspaper Österrechischer Volksfreund complained about the “Judaization of the
University of Vienna” and referred to Carl Menger and his brother Anton Menger, both professors and one-time rectors, as Jews."
"Their denial, however, failed to convince the German conservatives who asserted that the behavior and the views of both professors betrayed either real or adopted Jewish traits, and the allegation that they were Jewish was repeated elsewhere, e.g., in the
newspaper Das Vaterland."
