Alvin Knisley, missionary from Canada, addressing the chair, said rumors had reached him "concerning the teaching of the Darwinian theory of evolution in Graceland college. If they tell their pupils about it as a theory only, I have no particular ob- ection," he said, "but if they are teaching that it is a fact, I will think a long time before sending my jchil dren to school there."
