Historians converge for annual conference

A noted historian of evolution, science and church history - Ronald Numbers of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, - will speak at the luncheon of the Mid-America Conference on History at 12:30 p.m. Sept. 22 at KU.

Numbers will speak on "Creation, Evolution and Intelligent Design: From Scopes to Kansas" in the Adams Alumni Center. He will address about 150 historians attending the three-day annual conference.

Numbers also will join a panel discussing "The Evolution Controversy in Historical Perspective" at 2 p.m. Sept. 22 in Woodruff Auditorium at the union.
Conference sessions range from ancient to contemporary history, although the majority focus on modern and U.S. history, said Theodore Wilson, conference coordinator and history professor.

A roundtable on "Teaching the Environment" will be dedicated to the memory of the late John G. Clark, a KU historian who died May 2, 2000.
