WRVA MARCH 11, 1929 Blackstone is on the air! Do you hear, dear old girls, out there wherever you are? We must tell our friends of the Blackstone spirit. Can we put it over? Of course we can ! It does seem almost absurd to attempt to speak of the Blackstone spirit, but we do want to say that we are glad to be with you tonight, with you, our friends and our former students. We are glad to share with you all, old and young, that in¬ definable something that we call the Blackstone spirit. We might bring you a list of statistics showing the material progress of Black¬ stone and her position as an A grade Junior College; we might even call the roll of her illustrious alumnae, and you would be proud, very proud. But we can’t somehow talk about this thing which each of you feels—the meaning of that much loved term, Alma Mater! Perhaps Blackstone isn’t your Alma Mater! It isn’t mine! That matters not. Recall your college days, live again those experiences that have made you what you are now and then say, “That is what Blackstone does.” You old girls know what it means! You know the thrill of college days when life seemed mostly athletics and term papers and examinations! You also know what it means now “when college days are but a distant dream, shadowed and mist¬ ed by the years between.” Not one of you can forget Blackstone. And let me say, Blackstone can never forget you. Go back when you can and cheer Mr. Gates and the faculty with the story of your achievements. They are glad for your word of encouragement. Go back and see the games, the contests, the pep—and then go out to live each day in accord with the ideals of Blackstone. The spirit of Blackstone is the spirit of love and of fellowship and of sympa¬ thetic guidance. Her interests are for all; her structure is laid in the stone foun¬ dation of sound educational and psychological principles, but more than that— her ideals are centered around those of the Galilean teacher of the long ago. All this and more makes Blackstone. Broadcast by Jean F. Craig. [ 18 ]
