'Emerson was really a working together - a sum total of all the
life's paths, the working of karma and the fulfilling of pre-birth
impulses and intentions of so many people, both staff and students.
Every person who came to Emerson in some way touched it and changed
it. Each year had its own biography. It was never an institution to
which people came and passed through without leaving any mark on
it.' - Michael Spence What was it about Emerson College that played
such an important part in the lives of so many young people? Having
joined the college early in its genesis, Michael Spence served as a
key decision maker, administrator and teacher for more than a
quarter of a century. In this first biography of Emerson, he gives
a vivid picture of how the college came to be such a special place.
But this is not a dry history of an organisation: it is brought to
life with vibrant descriptions of many people, including the
college's founders Francis and Elizabeth Edmunds and John Davy, but
also students, teachers, cooks, gardeners, accountants,
administrators, and many others. Michael Spence studies the
anthroposophical spiritual basis that formed the bedrock of the
college. As he states: 'It was the recognition of the reality of
the spirit, which informed all aspects of the college life and
organisation, that made it such a unique place to which so many
people came. Did they find at Emerson an expression of something
which, in their descent from spiritual worlds into this life
between birth and death they had already sensed, of the social and
spiritual life of humanity that was striving to come into being?'
