Blackstone College for Girls 9 BLACKSTONE COLLEGE Forty-five years ago Blackstone received her first student body. Before these students came she had set for herself very definite ideals. Scholas- tically Blackstone seeks to give her daughters thorough instruction and to prepare them for life's duties. She endeavors to inculcate an attitude of faithfulness, reverence for the spiritual, and appreciation of the beautiful in life. Democracy, loyalty, personal honor, good sportsman- Ship and courtesy have become a very part of the spirit of Blackstone.
