All interested University students, faculty and staff members were welcome to join. Members used weekly testimonial meetings as their primary means of healing. They also attended special events, such as a lecture given by a promi- nent Christian Scientist from the Mother Church in Boston. In the spring, the organization handed out copies of the Christian Science Monitor to those who wanted to know more about Christian Science.
