Jesse Charles Fremont Grumbine (1861 – 1938), was an American Spiritualist and New Thought author, lecturer, and organizer, best known for founding the Order of the White Rose and the College of Psychical Sciences and Unfoldment, institutions devoted to the study of psychic phenomena and spiritual development. Originally ordained as a Universalist minister and later serving in Unitarian pulpits, he left the clergy in the 1890s to pursue Spiritualism. Through his schools, lectures, and large body of books on subjects such as clairvoyance, psychometry, and telepathy, Grumbine became a prominent figure in the mind science and metaphysical movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
