Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses a rather unusual change of leadership that took place at the Petru Maior Student Center of Cluj between 26 April and 1 May 1923, in the absence of any statutory elections. The change was related to the student unrest triggered by the anti-Semitic incidents occurred in late November of 1922 in the laboratories of the Medical School, which expanded rapidly, eventually paralyzing all activities at Cluj University and in other similar institutions throughout the country. The student movement quickly acquired a political dimension, largely due to the involvement and activity of Ion I. Moța and Corneliu Zelea-Codreanu.
