Darwin and Lincoln memorials mark centenaries in two eras
A long feature reviews Charles Darwin as the 19th century’s central figure in evolution and notes Lincoln’s 1909 centennial of birth. It covers Darwin’s life from schooldays to Cambridge, Henslow, Sidgwick, the Origin of Species, and the 1809-1909 arc. It also details a Washington memorial program for Lincoln with a Graham opera house ceremony and a packed program of assemblies, music, readings, and an address by Capt. Kellogg.
