26 LINCOLN NEWS thanks THK Lincoln News stalf wish lo express our deep and grateful appreciation for the support which we are receiving from Alumni and friends for this COMMENCEMENT NUMBER. You will prohahly notice that the spaces are curtailed. This is due to a greater hulk of literature than was anticipated, and the request of many doctors that we omit their addresses, so as to relieve this of the appearance of advertisement. Hereafter, we shall adopt the policy of asking only those Alumni who are having class reunions, lo support the COMMENCEMENT NUMBER for that year. The greater advantage of this system to you and to us is quite obvious. We approach you at intervals of ten years, and others, in the meantime, may sul scril e each year, $1.50 for the paper. Below is listed the names of those who, in extending us their compliments, are quite nobly and loyally contributing to the financial support of this issue. Others are still Iwing solicited, and any probable surplus of funds will go towards next year’s activities. Will you send yours? I)IL W. G. ALEXANDER Orange, N. J. DR. PAUL A.

LINCOLN NEWS 25 FRESHMAN CLASS pistor? of ©ur Jfresftjman Class Tl IK moon has completed her course but seven times since opportunity arose full in her heighth, and stretched her hands in all four directions of our country to rest upon the heads of all those individuals, in whose breasts there dwelt a great desire for the further development of that most tender, sacred, and precious possession of all human beings, the mind. These individuals met on a common mental field, Lincoln University, and formed the Freshman Class, the Class of ’31. The situation was indeed a perplexing one; every high school senior was actually swept off of his feet by the breeze of college life, to lie prostrated, a degraded being in the dust of respect; every individual was knocked from the pinnacle of pride, and self-conceit, to rest a man aware of his position and his work to follow. Kven though they were in the midst of their first college mid-year exams, three of their most worthy number trotted out on the basketball court, and displayed such rare form that they remained on the squad the entire season, two of whom were amongst the seven basket- bailers to get their L’s. You may survey any phase of the college activities, and you will find that the Class of ’31 is doing its part to keep the colors of “dear old Lincoln” flying high above the degrading dust. In baseball they have an entire team on the squad, for nine of their “adored idols” are doing their bit to make the team emerge victorious; and in track, the possible prospects are almost innumerable. In this manner has this single unit kept moving along; not as individuals suffering under humiliation and subjection, but as individuals striving, exultingly, and joyfully toward the far but easily perceptible goal, a higher mental development. They had to have the means and force by which to proceed sanely, and they found them in the following men: J. F. Harmon, President, W. F. Jackson, Secretary, L. F.. LaMar, Vice-President, T. F. Hawkins, Treasurer, F. A. Hawkins, Parlimentarian.
