THE MODULUS of 1932 PROF. WALFRED LINDSTROM Dean of the School of Commerce INTELLIGENCE I NTELLIGENCE is the capacity to know and understand. Its biological origin is in the brain and its social significance is in its ability to absorb and dispense knowledge. It is the outstanding factor in personality and so influences the most important phases of life. As it grows and develops, spiritual discernment is made keener, health is bet¬ tered, length of life is increased and morality is improved; it is, in fact, the inner urge that recognizes the value and influence of old-fashioned virtues and calls for the highest and fullest expression of life. The person of a big mind and soul can see far above the sordid and insignificant facts or the common relationships of life. Fie has the spiritual insight that enables him to properly evaluate the facts of life, to separate the good from the bad, to choose the bet¬ ter part, to make the adjustments of life. There is somthing within h’m that makes him a master, bigger than his environment and stronger than his unfortunate heritage. Ffe can turn the teaching and examples of unfortunate training into lessons of increasing strength and character. The quality of his soul is bettered and the success of his life enhanced by his ability to choose the best. To be intelligent is to be mentally awake and alert. The intellectual giants who stand out on the pages of history did not attain maturity of mind in a day, but through years of study and clear-cut thinking. The same possibilities of growth are to be found in each one if the inward urge or stimulus be there. Without that no great achieve¬ ments will ever be accomplished. It was a higher intelligence that created the world, and that same intelligencs working through human intellect conceives great projects, dreams great dreams, sees great visions and accomplishes great things. Intelligence rules the world. Copyrighted. 20
