1925 – In the Scopes Trial , the Criminal Court of Tennessee upholds the Bulter Act, which made it unlawful, in any state-funded educational establishment in Tennessee , "to teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible , and to teach instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals." The case was a watershed in the creation-evolution controversy .

Joseph Havens Richards SJ (born Havens Cowles Richards ; November 8, 1851 – June 9, 1923) was an American Catholic priest and Jesuit who became a prominent president of Georgetown University , where he instituted major reforms and significantly enhanced the quality and stature of the university. Richards was born to a prominent Ohio family; his father was an Episcopal priest who controversially converted to Catholicism and had the infant Richards secretly baptized as a Catholic.
Richards became the
president of Georgetown University in 1888 and undertook significant construction, such as the completion of
Healy Hall , which included work on
Gaston Hall and
Riggs Library , and the building of
Dahlgren Chapel . Richards sought to transform Georgetown into a modern, comprehensive university. To that end, he bolstered the
graduate programs , expanded the
School of Medicine and
Law School , established the
Georgetown University Hospital , improved
the astronomical observatory , and recruited prominent faculty. He also navigated tensions with the newly established
Catholic University of America , which was located in
the same city . Richards fought
anti-Catholic discrimination by
Ivy League universities, resulting in
Harvard Law School admitting graduates of some
Jesuit universities . (
