Scope and Contents
Typewritten letter, statement, and a transcript. Durham writes to William E. Berrett, "administrator of L.D.S. Seminaries and Institutes," accusing Berrett of destroying his career because Durham was critical of the educators in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Thomas Jerold Stirland, of the "Ogden L.D.S. Institute," defends himself against charges that he was disloyal to the Church educators. The symposium was held in Logan, Utah, and dealt with Church education.
