TALKSONCROVDS
Says Tree Leadership Can Be
Developed Only by Preserva
tion of Personal Integrity.
Dr. E. E. Ericson spoke on the
"Pressure of the Crowd" before
an assembly of sophomores and
guests yesterday at the regular
weekly meeting of the class.
The first aspect of the situa
tion handled by Dr. Ericson was
the physical crowd such as the
masses at the pep rallies last
week. He said that if an indi
vidual could get 15 feet from the
scene of the action, he would be
astounded at what he was doing,
and would certainly not do them
as an individual.
Personal Integrity
True leadership can be de
veloped only by the preservation
of personal integrity," said Dr.
Ericson, "and at the age of 50
or 60 years a man first realizes
that he has sold out given alL
"If I could start again at 20
years of age, I should care less
for ordinary reward and posi
tion. I would get a job through
which I could make a living, such
as that of a mechanic or sales
man, where I would not be ac
countable for my opinions. Then
I certainly could have preserved
more of myself than I have been
able to."
Dr. Ericson encouraged his
listeners to look on President
Roosevelt as an example. If
Roosevelt had announced such
ideas as the NRA in pre-election
times, said Ericson, he prob
ably would not have been elect
ed, but since then he Has chal
lenged public opinion, and the
public has followed, and he is
successful.
