==Early Life==
Blanshard was born in Fredericksburg, Ohio, on August 27th, 1892.<ref name=gcts>[https://books.google.com/books?id=E1UAAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA89 General Catalogue of the Theological Seminary, Andover, Mass: 1880]</ref>
He graduated from the University of Michigan in 1914.<ref name=gcts />
==Christian Socialism==
While at university, he wrote about joining the ministry. Blanshard was a [[Christian socialist]], but found himself more inclined toward the socialism and less toward the Christianity.
<blockquote>"During those college years I arrived at two decisions about myself. I would be a socialist and I would enter the Christian ministry. In retrospect, the first decision seems entirely natural, but the second decision was the worst blunder of my life."<ref>{{cite book |first=Paul |last=Blanshard |title=Personal and Controversial: An Autobiography |publisher=Beacon Press |year=1973 |pages=20}}</ref></blockquote>
