THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

TD THE EEASS DF 1947

Dear Graduat ing Seniors:

I p r e f e r to take m y message f r o m another source than to a t tempt to f o r m an original one f o r you.

T h a t "other source" is that represented by the g i f t to the Univers i ty within the last y e a r of a sum in excess of $85,000, by the Alumni of Lincoln Univers i ty .

B y contrast, two news art ic les appear ing in recent issues of the N e w Y o r k Times are notable.

One story told of the g i f t , by Columbia Univers i ty Alumni , of $85,000 to their Univers i ty . A n o t h e r recited with pride the g i f t by Princeton Alumni of $160,000 to their Univers i ty , on occasion of Prince-ton's Bi-Centennial.

Columbia must have a hundred t imes as many Alumni as we have. Princeton ten fold or more. In economic opportunity, or inheritance of weal th , there is, of course, no comparison.

Y e t let the comparat ive record stand f o r i tse l f ; let it also stand as an inspiration to members of the Class of 1947, f o r all of their f u t u r e lives. Beginning with much less, g r a n t e d much less of a chance in the world of acquir ing wealth, thus nobly have the Alumni of Lincoln Univers i ty acquitted themselves by the yardst ick of loyal, sacrif icing generosity .

When you are tempted, in the future , to doubt yourse l f ; when you are tempted to believe unkind crit icisms the world m a y direct to your fe l lows; take heart and confidence f r o m w h a t y o u r fe l low-alumni have done.

It is a wonderful record. How they did it They made this record b y reason of personal industry, and loving generosity .

T h a t is their message, through me, to you personal pride, character , t h r i f t , industry, and we know has so r ichly characterized the alumni past, and t h a t we devoutly p r a y wil l be, also, future .

Sincerely,

is simple in the tel l ing, pride, character , thr i f t ,

the simple qualities of loving generosi ty , which of this institution in the your description in the

MESSAGE DF THE DEAN DF THE UNIVERSITY

TD THE ELASS DF 1947

To the Class of 1 9 4 7 — M y heart iest congratulat ions:

Whether you realize it or not, you go forth as teachers. Sound teachers encourage young men to work and achieve. Y o u have the opportunity to be examples showing the youth of your communities the value of education in determining leadership. Y o u belong to the ten percent who have gone to college, a group to whom the world is looking f o r leadership in all fields. We are t r u s t i n g in this college-trained man-hood to lead in the communities where you m a y be located.

A s college graduates you are individuals who understand much of the laws of l ife. Y o u will be looked upon as men to whom intellectual moral i ty has come through understanding.

One of the laws of l i fe is that the individual gains s trength chiefly through s t rugg le . A man is as s trong as the obstacles he overcomes.

A second law of l i fe is that something cannot be obtained f o r nothing. W e often realize too late that we live in a world in which virtue, prosperity and happiness are not g i f t s but personal achievements.

A third law of l i fe is that selfishness is a most expensive character-istic of man or of nations. He does not f u l l y profit who uses all of his energies in g e t t i n g ahead in the world but none of them in g e t t i n g the world ahead.

A most important undergirding requisite of l i fe is fa i th . Man has not achieved l i fe when he amasses a fortune but when he has said with resolution " I believe." C a r r y on with f a i t h in yourse l f , f a i t h in your fe l low man, and fa i th in God. F a i t h is t h a t which recreates l i fe when hope of l i fe is dead. F a i t h is w h a t you are when you dream your bravest and live your best.

Y o u venture forth into a world whose leadership is a t tempt ing to formulate a peace based upon a real izat ion that the finest aspirations of men e v e r y w h e r e are highly s imilar and t h a t each man should be recog-nized f o r w h a t he is. I fee l confident that the class of '47 has the funda-mental t ra ining and determination necessary to make l a r g e contributions toward better understanding.

My personal wish f o r each of you is that your l i fe m a y embody that ideal of service so well exemplified in the history of your A l m a Mater .

Our budding artist is Fitzalbert Marias, '48, elder

brother to the inimitable "Juice" Marius, of the

Class of 11)47. Fitz has been doing the cartooning

for the Lincolnian and graciously accepted the job

for THE LION. His caricatures of the members of

the graduating class are accurate impressions of the

temperament and personalities of the men who pass

through the Arch this year into the wide, wide

world . . . Thanks, Fitz, for a job well done!

From its very beginning, Lincoln's high purpose has been to g a t h e r into its pleasant and congenial fold, those who seek superior equipment, in mind and spirit, f o r their journey into the broad h i g h w a y of l i fe.

And because it conceives the essential f a c t o r of its beginning, its destination and its destiny to be the adequate preparation and guidance of men who are committed to the fu l l l i fe discipleship of Jesus Christ , Lincoln Univers i ty has established, and proudly maintains, a Theological Seminary .

Under the guidance of Dean Jesse Belmont Barber,

himself a graduate of Lincoln's Seminary, theolog-ical education at Lincoln takes the students directly into the field. This year , the newly instituted De-partment of Rural Church prepares students f o r lives of service in town and country pastorates. Seminarians aspir ing f o r city parishes work in the church fields of Philadelphia, Balt imore and Wash-ington, under the supervision of the f a c u l t y and the organized church agencies of those cities.

Today , based upon the solid foundations of its honorable past, the Seminary of Lincoln Univers i ty offers its ful l resources to men who seek the chal-lenge of fu l l - t ime service to Christ .

Here we view the largest Freshman Class ever to enroll at Lincoln University. These are the chosen from the select of world youth and with their latent abilities are sure to bring, in future years, merit both upon

themselves and the institution which they represent.

These newcomers started the ball rolling when they subdued the sophomores in the annual Freshman-Sophomore tilt.

The Student Senate, governing body of the students of Lincoln University, was or-ganized last year to take the place of the old Student Council. The Senate represents the interests and welfare of the students and is the authorized channel of communication between the student body and the admin-istration.

The Senate this year was greatly con-cerned with the injustice of compulsory

chapel and the stimulation of extra-curricu-lar activities. It is composed of the repre-sentatives of all campus organizations and four Senators-at-Large, elected in campus-wide elections. The sponsor of the organiza-tion is the Dean of Men.

Strong student government is the back-bone of any college. The Student Senate at Lincoln is dedicated to that principle.

a YEARBOOK rather than a Senior Book. Thus we have chosen activities from most of the phases of campus life to make indelible in your memories the incidents which have patterned this great year in the history of our institution.

The Lincolnian is the official publication of the student body of Lincoln University. During the past year, the paper was pub-lished once a month and more than nine hundred copies of each issue circulated among the students, friends and alumni of the institution. In addition, the paper was exchanged with the organs of sixty other colleges and universities throughout the country.

Under the sponsorship of Professors Tur-

pin, Grubb, and Le Compte, the Lincolnian made an enviable reputation this year with features and news covering every phase of campus life.

A free press is an important instrument of student welfare on any campus. The Lincolnian, written, edited and published by the students will continue to represent the best opinion of the student and publish abroad the glory of the men of Lincoln Uni-versity.

The Lincoln University Y.M.C.A. Cabinet strives to make contagious the desire for Christian character. Through the annual series of educational, recreational, and cul-tural sponsorships this organization nour-ishes the mind, body, and soul of the entire community.

Under the stimulating guidance of Dean Wilson, the " Y " Cabinet has presented

violinist Harriet Davidson, and numerous thought-provoking speakers; sponsored stu-dent mixers and the games tournament; participated widely in intercollegiate fellow-ships and revived the Lincoln-Howard Con-ference. Thus, have its members taken great strides in lifting the organization from its dormant state.

THE PM-HELLEIVIE EOUIVEIL

The Pan-Hellenic Council has appeared on Lincoln's campus spasmodically for several years—but usually for the purpose of gain-ing strength to resist the forces which would conquer its members with ease if attacked individually.

This year, the organization enjoys a new

birth. It is now united to establish and maintain a rapport among the family of Greeks in our community. On more positive grounds, the council, by ostensibly exhibiting a sense of oneness, the loyalty and the brotherhood that exists among Greeks, as-sumes its rightful influential role.

Nu Chapter was cited by the national body at the Fraternity's General Convention in Columbus, Ohio, last year for its presenta-tion of the Alpha Medallion to Marian An-derson and Harold L. Ickes.

Upon these principles set forth by their founders in 1914, Mu Chapter has attempted to give definitive expression of the same.

The Veterans Organization of Lincoln University was organized during the second semester of 1946 largely through the efforts of two members of the graduating class, Miles Washington and Tommy Evans. Today it is the largest organization on the campus, embracing nearly two hundred men. The men of '47 feel that it is a unique con-tribution of the Class of 1947 to the campus

life at Lincoln. During the past year the Veterans Or-

ganization has been instrumental in securing from the administration definite recognition of the problems of rehabilitation and adjust-ment peculiar to men returning to the disci-pline and habits of academic pursuit after a prolonged period of service in the Armed Forces.

THE DELTA RHD FORENSIC SOCIETY The Delta Rho Forensic Society is a Lincoln

tradition. Organized several years a g o by men who were interested in public speaking and oratory, the Society disappeared during the w a r years . Under the guidance of sponsor Professor Joseph N. Hill , it enjoyed rejuvenation this y e a r and has carried through an active program in the ar t of public

speaking and debate. The Univers i ty Debat ing T e a m comes out of Delta

Rho and w a s sparked this y e a r by Dean Hill 's Speech Class. Several intercol legiate debates were held this year ; among them, Lincoln versus V i r g i n i a State College and Lincoln versus Florida A & M were outstanding.

The Canterbury Club is composed of students who are members of the Episcopal Church and have f e l t

a need f o r coming together f o r the purposes of rel igious edification and Christ ian fel lowship.

In conjunction wi th the other rel igious organi-zations on the campus, we expect this youngest of the group to make a substantial contribution to the rel igious l i fe of the student community.

VARSITY ELUR The V a r s i t y Club, wi th the able assistance of its

advisor, Coach Rivero, has undertaken the task of f u r n i s h i n g a V a r s i t y Room. The use of this room has added immeasurably to the happiness of the members and has acted as an incentive to the here-to fore " v a r s i t y r e n e g e r s " — mot ivat ing them to put f o r t h their utmost endeavors toward earning a v a r s i t y " L . "

Too, the V a r s i t y has received the honored tradi-tion of a w a r d i n g sweaters to g r a d u a t i n g members. B y such accomplishments as these within the organ-ization and by exhibi t ing sportsmanship in and out of competition, the V a r s i t y Club plays no small role in developing the type of sons Lincoln will be proud to have on and send f o r t h f r o m the campus green.

THE HISTORY OF THE C L A S S o f ' 4 7

Haunted by the horrors of human hell, doomed by the devil of discontent, thirty-eight youths filed into the hallowed but hol-lowed halls of Lincoln University unsure of their future and fearful for present. Though in danger of being sucked into the whirlpool of death at any breath, we joined forces and became the Class of 1947.

By virtue of a well planned Freshman Orientation Week and the touching applica-tion of upperclassmen's sympathy, we soon became adapted to our new college environ-ment. We chose as our class president, Frazier Thompson, who entered Notre Dame through the Navy and distinguished himself as a scholar and an athlete.

Our first active participation in campus events occurred during the extensive intra-mural football program. We opposed the upperclassmen in two games. They won both but we have fond memories.

During the second semester we discovered that twenty-four of us had gone. Many had been sucked into that dreaded whirlpool, others died a natural death—they refused to enjoy the greenness of spring.

This eventful initial year recalls to our memories Mrs. Roosevelt's visit, Lincoln's championship basketball team, the confer-ence tennis tournament, the Pan-Hellenic Dance, the Penn Relays, and the attempted Senior walk.

Thinking ourselves to be well-seasoned and mature, twelve of us returned with haughty strides. We were eager to aid in the adjust-ment of the newcomers.

We explained to Dean that our only tactic would be psyche, but he knew some of the psyche to be applied. So—probation.

We learned that Professor Turpin had en-tered the Navy during the summer. Yes, he had sought higher grounds.

This year we returned to intercollegiate football, and what a disastrous season! As a football team we sang better than the Glee Club.

Light of heart and filled with hope we re-turned as Juniors just eight in number. The physical conflict was done. We channeled our energies and labored religiously for now our goals were visible. Victorious vets—profes-sors, scholars, and old Lincoln rabble re-turned to these cherished hills. Rest, relief, and certainty were ours again.

From the chapel—we heard the voices of Albert Einstein, Marion Anderson, Canada Lee, and Harold Ickes. We remember cham-pionship basketball, tennis and wrestling teams. We remember the inauguration of Lincoln's first Negro president, Dr. Horace Mann Bond. Too, we remember the indescrib-able emptiness that was ours with the pass-ing of Dr. Wright, our devoted president emeritus.

Just four of the original class returned for the last lap, but the influx of vets made ours the largest senior class in the history of the university. Lincoln was more than congested even with the construction of a Vets Village.

We remember the great strides made by the local chapter of the N.A.A.C.P. toward eliminating discrimination in nearby Oxford. We remember Lincoln as seen and molded by a Mr. Brown (with an "e") , eating in two shifts, the construction of a track and a temporary gym, and our victory in the Orange Blossom Bowl. We recall vividly the visits of Carol Brice, Albert Barnes, and Isaac Woodard.

These are our years at Lincoln. From boys to men; from doubtfulness to certitude; from mere existence to meaningful lives. These evolutions are the result of the recent war plus life at Lincoln, where unique per-sonalities mingle without yielding and men live without restraint.

If there be any truth in making accurate predictions from correct historical antece-dents, let us now turn to the future and see how these years will affect our lives.

CLASS

How swift the transit of the evanescent years! Time's relentless passage has guided us through ten hectic perilous years, fraught with international contests and atomic liv-ing. The conflicts still rage and the world still exists; but it is 1957 and though indisol-luble vincula of love have welded us eternally together in our more erudite years at Lincoln, the physical breach has nonetheless widened.

My tour of that year through the East, Middle West, and South made me more than ever cognizant of that fact. In my absence, my two law partners, Hon. Stuart Dunnings and Judge Ralph Accoo, were tied to their desks and legal occupation. Attorney Dun-nings had finally managed to force his Na-tional Bill for Public Defenders through Con-gress. In Hartford, Conn., where I spoke to the NCPW, I was surprised to be hailed by a definitely familiar voice. It was Dr. Leon Cornwall, whose general practice was unex-celled in all New England. In New York City, following another rally, Sociologists Will Dee Bryant and Andrew L. Headen (PhD, N Y U ) took me on a tour of their ex-tensive social project in Brooklyn, in which 50,000 persons were part of a carefully con-trolled experiment in communal living. They informed me that they owned every inch of property from Sumner to Stuyvesant Aves., and Bainbridge to Fulton Streets. Will Dee Bryant was able to render Luther Gulick a rank dilettante in Public Administration. Dr. Wesley Johnson had been a member of the American Board of Surgeons for five

years, and had just been appointed Chief Surgeon at New York City's Bellevue Hos-pital. Dr. Nathan "succulent" Marius, whose famed "juice-bath" therapies were widely employed throughout the land, had become an indolent and quite well respected million-aire. To my great delight, I learned, too, while in New York that Clifton G. Russell had just received his acceptance to Tufts Medical School. Walfredo Leon fretted with his problems as principal of DeWitt Clinton High School.

In Orange, New Jersey, Dr. John Alex-ander Mingo, Jr., Gynecologist-Obstetrician and member of the American Board of In-ternal Medicine, and Dr. Miles Standish Washington, famed for his good cheer, in-formed me of their exclusive health retreat at Lakehurst, New Jersey, and invited me there for a rest at $150 per diem. Dr. John D. Withers and Dr. John Alfred Yates, Spe-cialists in V.D., had both been summoned by the Government to administer a newly erected $750,000 research station in Bluefield, West Virginia, under the extended Public Health Service.

Our Philadelphia colleagues by this time had also done quite well for themselves. John D. Cooper's most profound book on Pre-Historic Literature had just been published. Lester Pollitt had received his Doctorate in Economics in 1949 from Columbia and was rather quietly running the First National Bank of Philadelphia; Charles Hall, Harvard Law Graduate, equally was quietly running DuPont's Chemical Firm and all of Delaware.

PROPHECY

Dr. Thomas Evans, Pediatrician, was mani-festing his special know-how beyond his office, where he conducted community ath-letic games among the city's children. Sociol-ogist Landon McSwain, after being lured into the fold by the intriguing sociological aspects of Father Divine's Heavens, had just taken over the cult as leader, following the Father's death. Gayraud "Demosthenes" Wilmore was busy chasing devils out of Philadelphia in droves, and saving souls by the thousands. Out on the main line, in Bryn Mawr, Joshua G. Thompson had become widely known for his excellent Legal Counsel, exorbitant fees and seven Cadillac convertibles; Ralph Oves, after receiving his doctorate from the Uni-versity of Pennsylvania, had returned to Central High as head of the History Depart-ment.

In Baltimore, the Orange and Blue had grown outward. I learned that Dr. Arthur Medford Camper had just been formally in-stalled as Bishop of his Diocese; that Dr. William M. Hall and Dr. John Armstead had opened an inter-racial hospital; and further that Jim Law was the Political Czar of Mary-land, controlling just about every district in the state.

Dr. Marshall M. Johnson, of Pittsburgh, had just received the signal honor of being the first Negro ever appointed to the Staff of the University of Pittsburgh Medical School. J. Carrell Rolls was just finishing his third enlistment in the Regular Army and had, on my arrival, just managed to wheedle a pass from nearby Camp Shenango.

In Asheville, North Carolina, I found Farris Logan and Reuben J. Dailey busy building up legal and actual bulwarks for a case against Mr. Charlie's nefarious activ-ities. The most consistent class member and now ten-year alumnus of the weekender club was Dr. Walter "Cotton" Hughes, who had purchased the Carlyle Hotel and managed to fly there every Saturday night to make use of Room No. 4.

John Milton Scott had surmounted all legal barriers and had succeeded in making polyg-amy in Alabama a legal thing. Dr. Julius Pryor had become a Silicosis expert and an authority on all manner of chest ailments.

Houston, Texas, was feting Drs. Emerson Knighton, Milton Banton and Philip Skerrett who had joined hands in the establishment of one of the Southwest's most modern and best equipped hospital and health resorts; on the outskirts, businessman Louis Purnell was operating the Northern Terminus of his ex-tensive South American Airlines.

After an extensive and revealing tour of the states, I flew back to the office realizing our homogenity in spite of any distances that might separate us; realizing how aptly "E Pluribus Unum" was applicable to us. What's that? . . . Asleep? . . . Don't bother me, old gal. . . . Let me go on sleeping.
