Max Jacob had been a victim of anti-semitism, since his childhood. At the grammar-school for boys La Tour d’Auvergne, he suffered from his schoolmates’ recurrent assaults. In spite of these hostilities, Max Jacob had some very good friends. André Villard, though he had beaten him up, became one of his best friends, so did Raoul Bolloré and the Thomases. |

anniversary of the Secondary School in 1936, the Memory of Mr Watecamps, a history
teacher, of Mr Villard, an art teacher and of Mr Patuvier, his French teacher. |

Max Jacob was a very bright pupil, that’s why he was awarded a Prize in Rhetorics in 1893. The local press and his Secondary School thanked him : « the nomination of Max Jacob is a credit to him and ranks our Secondary School among the best ones. » |
