 POUNDS ON TANLAC A. J. Gillen Tells of Case Where One of His Gus

The following letter from the G. T. Lyon Drug company of North Roswell, Ga. is self explanatory.
 North Roswell, Ga, 1-27-16. MT. G. F. Willis, Atlanta Ga:
 Dear Sir: We are enclosing a testl- monal which we have just received from l.. l.. Hook of this place. He seems very grateful for what Tanlac has done Tor him and every word he says is the truth.

 ''I suffered from one of the worst cases of indigestion and stomach trouble any man ever had. I couldn't eat hardly any, thing and nothing tasted right. At times gas on my stomach would almost choke me. Nothing agreed with me and what I would eat didn't give me any strength. q commenced taking Tanlac because I saw what it was doing for other peo- pie, and I could see all the difference in
  cid wonders for me and made me feel like a new man.
 Before taking Tanlac I couldn't do any work at all. Now I am using the pick and shovel every day and can do any other kind of labor I want to. When I weighed the other day, I found I had gained 35 pounds That's what Tanlac did for me. I want you to send this to Atlanta and have it published, for I think everybody ought to know about this med icine"

INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION

It was immediately following the con- clusion of the address of Professor Losey that the trustees went into executive ses- sion. President Denny, Professor Losey, Dean Barnwell and Mrs. Losey remained in the vicinity of the room awaiting the decision of the trustees and the sum- mons to return for the verdict.
 It was announced after the meeting by members of the board that the length of time required for drawing up the reso- lution was all that delayed an immedi- ate decision. It was said that every member of the board, no matter what might have been his opinion before the address of Professor Losey, was thor oughly convinced when he concluded that he was, as charged by President Denny
 temperamentally unftted'' for the du- ties of university professor.
 In the opinion of members of the board of trustees, expressed after the board had adjourned, Professor Losey was en- tirely unwarranted in his attacks on President Denny and Dean Barnwell. The fact that Professor Losey gave out a statement charging the president of the university with mortal turpitude and then admitted, when the hearing was con- ducted, that his only basis for the charge was the writing which he placed on the face of a report card, caused the trus- tees, as shown by their resolutions, to feel very strongly that an injustice of the gravest nature had been done by Professor Losey.
 Individual members of the board, fol- lowing the meeting. stated that they had never seen a more ingenious ascription of improper motives based upon a more insignificant fact. The members of the board individually stated that they rec ognized the ability of Professor Losey in his line of work, but they stated with out oissent that the action of Presi- dent Denny in deciding not to recommend him for reappointment on the ground that he was temperamentally unfit was en- tirely Justified

that he would take up his case, should he be dismissed, with the American Asso- cia ton of University Professors, and have it aired in the press, as was done some time ago in the case of certain other professors. His remarks concerning this point follow;
 q hold in my hand a summary of the annual report of the American Asso- citation of University Professors, of which Prof E. R. A. Seligman of Columbia uni versity is chairman. The aim of this association Is to secure college professors everywhere in their exercise of academic freedom. In discussing the case of Pro- lessor Ficher of Wesleyan university who resigned at once upon request, a special committee appointed by that body ex- pressed the hope, that in the future, pro fessors would compel the trustees to dis miss tkem. and thus give the committee basis for procedure.,"
 In conclusion Professor Losey said:
 WILL BE CONDEMNED
 q submit, gentlemen that the case against me has reduced itself to this sim pie proposition: That it is sought to dis miss me from this university because I had the temerity to- address dignified and courteous letter of protest to its ex- ecutive head, and because, furthermore. the head of my department, who happens 10 De also the most intimate counsellor of the executive, has grown restive be- cause of my presence here. If, gentlemen, you shall decide to dismiss me after nine years of honorable service on such a tri1ing cause, the injustice of such action will, ultimately, I believe, be condemned not only by the good people of this state, but by the entire educational world.
 T submit furthermore that have dem- onstrated to you to a moral certainty (and that, gentlemen. is all that is re- quired in a case of this kind,) that Dr. Denny has been guilty of the practices with which have charged him; that these practices are, to the best of my knowl- edge, unique with Dr. Denny among col lege presidents; that among sensible men such practices can be accounted for only on the ground that they are intended tc deceive parents with respect to the grade of work which their children are doing at this university; and that sufficient mo- tive for such deception is established by the fact that Dr. Denny stakes his suc- cess as an executive chiefly on his ability to increase student enrolment and to re- tain students here as long as possible.
 "Thanking you for the patience with which you have listened to me, and trust ing that you may be divinely guided in

PROFESSOR LOSEY's PLANS

Professor Losey stated that he did not expect immediately to become connect ed with any educational institution. He intimated strongly that in taking the stand he did in the controversy his op- portunities to secure engagements with other universities were at an end. With the exception of his engagement for the summer school at Columbia university lasting six weeks, he has no collegiate work in view. Professor LOsey stated that in all probability he would go upon the lecture platform, where in the past Ee has at times been very successful. Since Professor Losey is at present liv- ing on the campus of the university in a home belonging to the institution, it is understood that he will remove at the earliest possible moment. He will doubtless remain in Tuscaloosa for the present at least.
 No arrangements have been made yet for filling the vacancy in the depart ment of rhetoric and public speaking at the university caused by the dismissal of Professor Losey. It is expected that this place may not be permanently filled until the meeting of the trustees in June.
