Conflict Between Religion
and Evolution Cleared
TEACHINGS EXPLAINED
Lecture Given at Meeting
of College Professors
Although it has become a gener
ally accepted fact that the theory
of evolution, as expounded by
Charles Darwin, in no way conflicts
■with religion and it is granted by
large numbers of men, in the clergy
and out, that this process of biology
is merely a part of a universal sys
tem and does not conflict with the
conception of divine creation, there
is still controversy and agitation
over the matter in current litera
ture.
In an effort to clarify this breach
between two great branches of
modern education and thought a
thorough statement of the contro
versy and discussion of the duty
of scientists of today in dispelling
any misconceptions of the teaching
of science and its relation to re
ligion was led by Dr. II. B. Yocom,
of the zoology department, at the
quarterly meeting of the American
Association of University Profes
sors, which was held on Monday
evening at the College Side Inn.
“Dr. Yocom gave a very careful
statement of the controversy,”
stated Professor E. E. DeCou,
president of the local group here.
Dr. Smith Talks
He was followed by Dr. W. D.
Smith, of the department of geol
ogy, who spoke on several aspects
of the same subject. A general dis
cussion resulted in the explanation
that the layman’s misunderstanding
of the purpose of the teaching
of science was responsible for the
popular misconception that science
opposes religion.
It lies with the scientists to clear
up this misunderstanding, accord
ing to the conclusion reached at
this meeting, by popularizing the
fundamental facts of biology parti
cularly. It was pointed out in the
courso of the discussion that
scientists are not in any way try
ing to bring up theories opposing
: eligion, but that their purpose has
been obscuro in some instances and,
therefore, subject to misinterpreta
tion.
Value Is Shown
In familiarizing the layman with
the common facts of life, as they
are observed on every side, it will
be possible to show those opposed
to the teachings of scionce its real
value in illuminating somo of the
heretofore “mysteries” of lifo.
Several questions for discussion
at the next meeting of the asso
ciation wore suggested. The pur
pose and scope of summer sessions,
possibilities of simplifying univer
sity registration, and methods of
increasing intellectual interest and
raising the intellectual standards of
undergraduates were proposed. The

DANCE NOT TO BE GIVEN
Washington Birthday Jitney Matinee
Discontinued by League
Due to the fact that Washing
ton’s birthday fails on Friday this
year, the Women’s league will not
give its annual matinee jitney
dance.
This is the first time in a num
ber of years that it lias not been
given, but because many students
will be going home for the holiday,
the idea was abandoned, and the
“dime crawls” substituted as a
means of raising money for the
