Abstract
State legislatures were not the only forums in which these issues played out in the later years of the 1920s. College and university campuses continued to roil with controversy over issues of evolution, fundamentalism, and atheism. Fundamentalists and liberals fought over issues of control and academic freedom at both public schools and denominational colleges. Although these battles took place across the country, the controversies in North Carolina and Minnesota attracted the most sustained attention and optimism from fundamentalist activists.
