The first of a series of lectures given under the direction of the In ternational Relations- Club of Bessie Tift College was heard by a large number of students Thursda^ after noon on the subject of “The JRcspon- ibilities of Citizenship,” delivered Dr. - R. S. Flippin, professor of History at Mercer University. These lectures include subjects on Citizen- hip and International Relations- In giving a definition as to who are citizens, Dr, Flippin stated that the Fourteenth Amendment defined citizen as “all persons born or nat uralized .in the' United States and subjec't to' the jurisdiction thereof.-” After giving a cle^r explanation of citizen and his rights the speaker next gave a brief discussion n regard the-acquisition of citizenship stating the different ways in which a person may become a citizen of the United States. In addition to stating how citizenship may be acquired by naturalization, Dr. Flippin. explained the two principles of "jus soli” and jussanguinis,’/. or the doctrine of itizenship by place of birth and by reason of parentage respectively. The next step discussed by the peakef in regard til citizenship was that of how citizenship ‘is lost, giv ing the nets of a citizen which would automatically cause him' to lose his itizenship. In this connection Dr. lippin also 'discussed the citizenship In Federal Republics,. In ' conclusion Dr. Flippin gave tear and vivid discussion-of the du ties and responsibilities' of a citizen to his country in order to be the best itizen and -one that acknowledges the protection of the Country in which they live.
