Calvinists left their stamp on different academic institutions with consequences that neither they nor their disciples could control. Reformed Protestants adapted to specific circumstances to carry out their efforts of ecclesiastical reform. From questions about the control of institutions of advanced learning and the purposes of university education, to ones about the actual content of the curriculum and the difficulty of balancing theology, the arts, and natural science, Calvinists struggled to retain theological orthodoxy at the center of the educational enterprise. This challenge continued even when Calvinists started institutions from scratch. This is illustrated in case studies of the universities of Geneva, Leiden, and St. Andrews.
