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.
