Christian Science in Academic Life

[Of Special Interest to Young Men and Women]

JOHN FREDERICK WILSON

Mrs. Eddy provides in the Church Manual for the establishment of Christian Science organizations at colleges and universities. Realizing the importance of the academic community, she thus empowers Christian Scientists to take the Christ, Truth, directly into it. Many Christian Scientists who have attended colleges and universities know what a wonderfully rewarding and joyful experience it is to make the most of this opportunity.

Academic training and thought are valuable in today's world and are at the forefront of progress in both the established and the emerging nations. Clarity of thought, the ability to make reasoned, balanced, and moderate judgments, a calm, logical, and analytical approach to problems —all these abilities are developed by higher education.

Mrs. Eddy says in Science and Health (p. 195): "Academics of the right sort are requisite. Observation, invention, study, and original thought are expansive and should promote the growth of mortal mind out of itself, out of all that is mortal."
