| Abstract: | The many caricatures of 'mission education', produced by hagiographic expatriate eulogizers and hostile secular nationalists alike, all fall short of the truth. One must be suspicious of sweeping generalizations, as evidence produced by an examination of one specific mission's work indicates: a case study of the Scottish Presbyterians in Calabar, Nigeria.
