* [[July 10]]–[[July 21|21]] &ndash; [[Scopes Trial]]: In a staged test case (the "Monkey Trial") in [[Dayton, Tennessee]], United States, [[John T. Scopes]], a young high school science teacher (technically arrested on May 5 and indicted on May 25) is accused of assigning a reading from a state-mandated textbook on Darwinian [[evolution]] in violation of a [[Tennessee]] state law, the "[[Butler Act]]". He is found guilty and fined $100, though the verdict is later overturned on a technicality. The trial makes explicit the [[fundamentalist–modernist controversy]] within the [[Presbyterian Church in the United States of America]], with [[William Jennings Bryan]] (who dies on July 26) being challenged by the liberal [[Clarence Darrow]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Moran|first=Jeffrey P.|title=The Scopes Trial: A Brief History with Documents|publisher=Bedford/St. Martin's|year=2002}}</ref>
