Negro Student Hood Resigns From University of Alabama
James A. Hood, a 20 year old Negro student from Gadsden, withdraws from the University of Alabama after a stormy enrollment two months earlier. Hood's attorney cited physical and mental fatigue as reasons, and a board of trustees meeting on charges stemming from a Gadsden speech was canceled. Charges alleged Hood accused the university of arranging a news conference to break a student conference ban and accused officials of trying to deny him an A, plus an insult by a state official in a dormitory. A trustee suggested the withdrawal could bar his fall term admission.
