Robert N. McLean was a Presbyterian minister and administrator associated with the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions. In the early 1900s he worked as the superintendent of the board’s Mexican department, a position in which he was able to use his fluency in Spanish to great advantage. McLean felt that Protestant Christianity could create what might now be called synergy with businesses by educating Spanish-speaking workers to speak English. The result, he felt, would be a better-educated (and more Christian) population.
