Abstract
Correspondence, research notes, photographs, and other papers of a former Professor of Biology at West Virginia University
(1914-1955). Includes some materials relating to Spangler's theory of sex determination and his famous debate in 1922 with
William Jennings Bryan regarding the theory of evolution. Bryan had offered a $100.00 prize to any professor who could reconcile
evolution with the Bible and Spangler took up the challenge.
