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.”
