 VOTE IS UNANIMOUS
 The resolutions printed above were in troduced by Maj. R. E. Steiner of Mont gomery. Hugh Morrow of Birmingham moved their adoption, and Gov Charles Henderson, president of the board, cast the first vote in their favor
 In rapid succession, Judge H. B. Foster of Tuscaloosa, Judge Thomas c. McClel- Ian of Athens, Daniel Pratt of Prattville, J. Kelly Dixon of Talladega, Maj. R. E. Steiner of Montgomery, Hugh Morrow of Birmingham and w. F. Feagin of Mont gomery followed with affirmative votes. The vote was unanimous.
 Following the reading of letters and the delivery of his prepared address by Pro- lessor Losey, consuming nearly three hours, the trustees went into executive session for 90 minutes. President Denny, Losey, members of the faculty, and news paper men, who had been permitted to attend the session, retired, while the members of the board deliberated.
 Within five minutes from the time the doors were again thrown open, the reso- lutions were read and adopted, and the gathering had dispersed There was no demonstration beyond the congratulations personally extended to President Denny Ioo- ( complete confidence extended by the trus- tees.
 Professor Losey, after hearing the ver- dict, accompanied by Mrs. Losey, retirSs. to his residence on the campus. He stated that he had nothing to say-at least not at this time. He was not sur- prised at the verdict After he had de- livered his address, none of those attend ing the hearing were surprised.
 "A SCRAP OF PAPER"
 Temperamental unfitness and a mere scrap of paper-those were the causes of one of the most sensational episodes in he long history of the University of Ala bama, Upon the writing by President Denny upon the face of one report card, Professor Losey based his charges of moral untitness against the president of the institution, and about this little scrap of paper he addressed the trustees for three hours.
 Before Professor Losey began his main address. President Denny admitted that he had written certain comments upon the report card of Asa Rountree, Jr., of Birmingham There was no controversy as to this main fact It was further an- nounced that the card was in the office of Dean Barnwell and was later pre- sented for the inspection of the trustees.
 Professor Losey divided his address be- tween a defense of himself from the charge of temperamental unftness and an effort to substantiate his charges against President Denny that his writing on the face of this card constituted an act of moral turpitude.
 ARRAIGNS DIR. FAREWELL
 No feature of the address of Professor Losey-and the entire effort was replete with features-created more interest than his denunciation of Dean Barnwell His araignment of the dean, who was the head of the department in which Pro- lessor Losey worked, was far more bit ter than his references to the president.
 model of polished English, rhetorical ly perfect, full of invective and inf1amma- tory to a high degree, keenly satirical and bitterly personal, the address of Pro- lessor Iosey was literary gem
 In delivery Professor Losey was no less perfect than in his preparation of his statement. Every gesture, every enun- citation of a word, every expression of the face was that of the skilled and pol ished public speaker and reader At times delivered almost in a whisper, at others raising his voice to a high pitch the address was clearly the stupendous effort of man who realzed that he is making his last stand. The dramatic possibilities of the situation were unriv- aled, and Professor Losey overlooked nothing which would add to this dramatic setting.
 AVAILED HIM NOTHING
 But all this availed him nothing. The trustees were called together to consider
