Thursday, 10 October 1929

New York:  

Stocks tick upward 1.8%.  The market is at 353, higher than it started the month, as the rally from Saturday continues.


Leningrad:  

The first “anti-religious” university in Russia, and presumably in the world, opens.  The institution, named for Ivan Skvortsov-Stepanov, an early Soviet revolutionary and leader of atheism in Russia, is intended to prepare students to become active propagandists of militant atheism.  It opens with 300 students on the one-year anniversary of Skvortsov-Stepanov's death.
