1 George Robert Stowe Mead (1863
– 1933-) was
an English historian, writer, editor, translator, and an influential member of
the Theosophical Society, as well as the founder of the Quest Society. His scholarly
works dealt mainly with the Hermetic and Gnostic religions of Late Antiquity,
and were exhaustive for the time period.
2 Friedrich Max Müller (1823 –1900), generally known as Max Müller, was a German-born philologist and Orientalist, who lived and
studied in Britain for most of his life. He was one of the founders of the
western academic field of Indian studies and the discipline of comparative
religion. Müller wrote both scholarly and popular works on the subject of
Indology. The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume set of English
translations, was prepared under his direction. He also promoted the idea of a
Turanian family of languages and Turanian people.
3 Dr Hendrik J. de Lange was an outstanding
teacher, practitioner and lecturer for many years. A native of the Netherlands,
he was educated at the University of Leyden, where he studied law and received
his doctoral degree in 1912. He entered the public practice of Christian
Science in 1921.
After becoming a U.S. citizen, he became a teacher of Christian Science
in 1935. He also served on the Christian Science Board of Lectureship for 22
years. He was a student and close friend of Bicknell Young.

An interesting sidelight to Bicknell Young’s conversion to Christian Science is that his mother and
all his sisters converted to that religion in the l890s.
John Hargreaves wrote to a friend, “[de
Lange’s] was the purest teaching, and I have known queues for his
lectures in London’s biggest churches to stretch three times round a block an
hour before the doors opened. You can’t go wrong with these books.”
4 Franklin Merrell-Wolff (1887–1985) was an American philosopher. After formal education in
philosophy and mathematics at Stanford and Harvard, Wolff
devoted himself to the goal of transcending the normal limits of human
consciousness. After exploring various mystical teachings and paths, he
dedicated himself to the path of jnana yoga and the writings of Shankara, the
most influential expounder of the Advaita Vedanta school of Hindu philosophy.
