Fallows Ross in Resigning.

One more professor of Stanford university in California has revolted over the treatment of Professor Ross and has resigned to preserve what he regards as “academic freedom.” This time it is Professor Arthur O. Lovejoy, associate professor of philosophy. In his letter of resignation to President Jordan Professor Lovejoy says, after referring to the examination of the documentary evidence in the Ross case: "I am forced to the conclusion that the dismissal of Professor Ross for the reasons assigned, after the president had declared he was a fit person to retain, involves an abridgment of the liberties which any university professor should demand."
