Massachusetts Metaphysical College

[4] Two medical doctors, Charles J. Eastman and Rufus King Noyes, helped Eddy set up the college, but did not stay involved with it past a few months.

Other teachers included her husband Asa G. Eddy, her adopted son Ebenezer Foster-Eddy, and her student General Erastus Newton Bates.

[2][3][5] Clergy were offered class free of charge, indicating a desire on Eddy's part to share her theology with religious leaders of the day.

By that time, other teachers such as Eddy's adopted son, Ebenezer Foster-Eddy, Edward A. Kimball and Judge Septimus J. Hanna had taught many subsequent classes.

[citation needed] Foster-Eddy, as well as General Erastus Newton Bates, had also taught during the period while the college was open.

She could have also included in the number those who attended her public preaching at the time, which she could have considered teaching outside the official classroom setting.

His list is probably limited to those students, at the college, personally taught by Eddy in an official classroom setting before she turned over the teaching to others.

This person was Judge Septimus J. Hanna who, with his wife, had been early students of Eddy and who occupied more positions of trust in the Christian Science Church than any other individual.
