Horace Hazeltine argues against the view that the Roman Catholic Church opposed science. He cites Walsh’s The Popes and Science to show papal support for medicine and anatomy, while disputing White’s Warfare of Science and Theology. Hazeltine notes church-endorsed hospitals, clerical physicians, and papal patronage, concluding the stereotype of Church hostility is false.

Tell Drama Expands Swiss Freedom Myth with Five Acts
Arthur Dougherty Rees debuts William Tell A Drama of the Origin of Swiss Democracy. The five act play casts the tale as a continuous dramatic sequence, eschewing conventional scenes and expanding beyond Tell to the broader Swiss liberty movement.
