THURSDAY, APRIL 19. 1951" Blanding Lists 5 Points For Better Citizenship Sara Gibson Blanding addressed the WSGA convocation Tues day'night in Schwab auditorium, presenting five points to consider “In the Time of Our Lives.” : “Leadership, ability to follow good leadership, intellectual integrity, emotional maturity; and religion are the qualities we need to make better citizens,” Miss. Blanding said; Miss Blanding placed intelli ligence above all other ’needed capacities. She defined intelli gence as the capacity to think, with that capacity developed to think straight. Spark of Genius To think is the spark of genius each of us has,” Miss Blanding said, “and it is the duty of col lege professors to fan this spark and to set us thinking straight.” She said that we must be con cerned with the kind of people needed to get the world back on an even keel, the type of mind needed to reinforce the demo cratic system. To choose the right people to follow is also an ability. We must be critical in our judgment and look to people who have emotional maturity. Excuses Are Bad “No aspect is more-frightening than the excuses people use when they don’t want to do a thing,” Miss Blanding stated emphati cally. To be an active participant in a religious group was the last requirement Miss Blanding set up for us to consider “In the Time of Our Lives.” Barbara Sprenkle, retiring WS G A president, introduced Miss Blanding, the president of Vassar for the past four years and the recipient of honorary de grees from University of Penn sylvania, Smith college, Syracuse university University of Ken tucky, and Brown university.
