Beards Spark Controversy Across Pulpit and Art
A Unitarian Herald critique questions beards on religious figures and links to Darwinian views, contrasting with Duc de Sully’s defense that God placed beards on faces. The piece shifts to Cambridge women’s exams and funding for lectures, noting rising enrollments, improving results, and a 1000 pound donation from James Aikin for the program. It closes with a Manchester execution in which Flynn starved himself to death, resisting feeding via stomach pump despite medical intervention.
