COLLEGE HEAD FLAYS ATTACK ON EVOLUTION David Starr Jordan Refers to ‘Outbreak of Ignorance.’ By David Starr Jordan Chancellor Emeritus. Leland Stanford University. Copyrioht. 1925 bv United Press PALO ALTO, Cal., June 9.—Tennessee’s attack upon the theory of evolution is an outbreak of ignorance in opposition to knowledge, worthy of the middle ages. But it was to be expected since the aftermath of war has lifted the lid which once held down the most fantastic crudities. The movement will do harm to the churches involved, as it will drive away sincere young men, devoted to religion but unwilling to accept the notion that human knowledge was nil bound up In ancient traditions or venerable hooks. Evolution, in the scientific sense, means orderly change. Ail natur" is changing and all change is orderly. It Is not accidental; neither is it whimsical. It is not necessary to enforce the teaching of evolution. But one cannot go far in any science without accenting it. All modern knowledge and thought is based upon this theory, or, as the obscurantists put it, all are bathed in heresy. The control of schools belongs to experts, not to the qpob. The present movement and attempted dis crediting of evolution will fade away. But Christianity, I believe, will survive it through shedding most of its dogmas for the sake of pure religion undefiled.
