...Uniting Conference in Kansas City's big, blue-seated Municipal Auditorium went 900 delegates: 400 ministers and laymen from the Methodist Episcopal Church; 400 from the M. E. Church South, which had seceded over slavery in 1844; 10° from the Methodist Protestant Church, which had split off in 1828.

After the original deluge of student interest had been organized into well-charted panel discussions, the next day saw the whole conference reconvened in the new debutanted Littauer auditorium where there followed a tidal wave of voluble riot and disorganized debate.
