Professor Scopes Returns to Dayton After New York Visit
The Associated Press reports John T. Scopes, the Dayton high school teacher in the famous evolution case, turned down offers including 50,000 for a film as he heads back to Tennessee. In Washington he studied the Constitution and the Supreme Court chamber, while Dayton prepares for the trial and telegraphers are readied to cover it. William J. Bryan, aiding the prosecution, told Miami high graduates science is great but religion is greater, and North Dakota's A. R. Nestos offered a religiously driven perspective on the debate. Scopes denied agnosticism, saying he was raised Presbyterian and retains deep religious feeling.

Climate ruins Parian Chronicle in Oxford museum
Damp and smoke damage in Oxford threatens ancient stones and inscribed records from Egypt and Asia Minor. The Parian Chronicle, a key Greek chronology carved on white marble, is fragmentary with lines 46 through 93 preserved. It dates events from 1582 to 264 B C and highlights poetry and poet figures over political history. It rests on an open shelf in Oxford University Museum, acquired by Earl of Arundel collectors 300 years ago and came to the university in 1667.
