Emmanuel College: Founded in 1911 as a Presbyterian residential college at UQ, it introduced the Oxbridge model of theological halls to Brisbane. It was a center for Christian Modernism and Post-Idealist philosophy, focusing on the metaphysical problem of personality before technocratic ideals began to prevail.
