Brisbane Boys College: Originally Clayfield College (1902), its takeover by the Presbyterian Church in 1918 and subsequent move to Toowong were driven by a vision of post-idealist Christian Modernism. Lead figures like Dr. Ernest Northcroft Merrington utilized the school to explore the metaphysical problem of personality, emphasizing character-building as a core educational aim.
