Good morning, Whitewater
There are no public meetings scheduled in the city today.
This is, however, a notable anniversary for our small city. The Wisconsin Historical Society notes that on this date in 1977, the Pratt Institute moved to from Whitewater to Waukesha:
On this date the Morris Pratt Institute, dedicated to the study of Spiritualism and Mediumship, moved from Whitewater to Waukesha. Founded in 1888 and incorporated in 1901, it was one of the few institutes in the world that instructed spiritualists. These were people “who believe as the basis of his or her religion, in the communication between this and the Spirit World by means of mediumship and who endeavors to mould his or her character and conduct in accordance with the highest teachings derived from such communication.”
Why notable? Because after 1977, we’ve no excuse for Whitewater’s problems except within us. We might look elsewhere to account for our many failures, but a look in the mirror, not a crystal ball, would do us the most good.
