Wilson's Voice Lifted
In Defense OF
Evolution

COURT HOUSE, DAYTON,
Tenn, July 20.-The voice of
Woodrow Wilson was lifted here
today to endorse evolution in its
battle with the fundamentalism
of William Jennings Bryan, once
his Secretary of State.
This belief of the late Presi-
dent in the theory of evolution
was read into the record OF
the Scopes trial by Doctor VIM
terton C. Curtis, Of Missouri
University, in q prepared affi-
davit. 1t was contained in
letter to Curtis, written by
Wilson on August 90, 1922, from
his S street home in Washing
ton.
Wilson said:
MAY it not suffice for me to
say in. reply to your letter of
August 25, that of course like
every other man of intelligence
and education, / do believe
in organic evolution. 1t sur
prised me that at this late date
such questions should be
raised"
