ALMA MATERby A. Dennee Bibb, 1911

Dear Lincoln, Dear Lincoln,To Thee we’ll e’er be true.

The golden hours we spent beneathThe dear old Orange and Blue,

Will live for e’er in memory,As guiding stars through life;

For thee, our Alma Mater dear,We’ll rise in our might.

For we love ev’ry inch of thy sacred soil,Ev’ry tree on thy campus green;

And for thee with our mightWe will ever toil

That thou mightiest be supreme.We’ll raise thy standard to the sky,

Midst glory and honor to fly.And constant and true

We will live for thee anew,Our dear old Orange and Blue.

Hail! Hail! Lincoln.



Founded in 1854, Lincoln University (PA) is the FIRST of four Lincoln Universities in the world and is the nation’s FIRST degree-granting Historically Black College and University (HBCU). The University combines the elements of a liberal arts and science-based undergraduate curric-ulum along with select graduate programs to meet the needs of those living in a highly techno-logical and global society. Today, Lincoln, which enrolls a diverse student body of approximately 2,000 men and women, possesses an international reputation for preparing and producing world class leaders such as Thurgood Marshall, the FIRST African American U.S. Supreme Court Justice, Lillian Fishburne, the FIRST African American woman promoted to Rear Admiral in the U.S. Navy, Langston Hughes, the noted poet, Kwame Nkrumah, the FIRST President of Ghana, Nnamdi Azikiwe, the FIRST President of Nigeria and a myriad of others.
