1 THE LION 1935 L ■ PREFACE 51011 f TO I he royal line of I hi again must In. bequeathed the distinguished achieve- ment of producing an all-L-niversity Year I look. Not since 1923, when this noble line of Phi published the PAW”, had a first class annual been at- tempted until the sons of 1931, surmounting tremendous financial difficulties occa- sioned by the depths of depression brought out the first I JON”. Three classes have come and gone since that time and none has had either the initiative or the courage to tackle so huge a task. The men of “thirty-live”, known hereafter as I� AM accepted this, not only as their need, but also their duty. Consider this annual, then, as a record in pictures of the history and achieve- ments of a class, and the aid tendered that class by those men of the three classes under them. To those of us who res| ondcd to the lessons of knowledge four years ago. and who now willingly accept the challenge of the vicissitudes of life are due the wreath and glory and honor hard won; such as the high honors in scholar- ship, the establishment of Phi Kappa Kpsilon I lonorary Society; the revival of the N.A.A.C.P.. and the motivation of that organization into a powerful race-conscious group, the first major Inter-Collegiate Inter-racial conference held on a Negro college campus and many other accomplishments to be found elsewhere in the pages of this book. No more fitting quotation can l� e found other than this paragraph found in the “PAW” of 1923: “Virile as the stalwart maples that grace our campus, strong as the stones made sacred by tradition ; with minds trained as we sat under learned masters; with hearts attuned to the problems, injustices and sufferings of an imperfect humanity; effervescing with the youthful joy and enthusiasm of living respon- sive to a seriousness of purpose we go. I Iappiest of all days have been those in which we lingered midst the scenes and inllucnccs of the Lincoln spirit. The association with school mates, faculty and alumni will forever linger in the garden of memories. Now that our journey here is finished, we set forth the results of the glorious class in this book.” 3 AM THE LION A Record of Achievements PUBLISHED BY THE CLASS OF 1935 £AM LINCOLN UNIVERSITY DEDICATION This book is dedicated to JOSEPH NEWTON HILL William E. Dodge, Professor of English who in the brief time he has been at Lincoln University has set and maintained high standards of culture and scholarship worthy of the emulation of students; and as teacher, confidant, friend and guide, has given new vision and courage to many. f $AM Two CLASS ADVISER f ( S. DICKEY Rev. SAMUEL A. DICKEY, A.M. Interwoven in the history of Lincoln University and its many years of unparalleled service to Negro youth is the name and work of Dickey. The University was founded as Ashmun Insti- tute by John Miller Dickey in 1854, and today, eighty-one years after, a descendant of this pioneer, Samuel Dickey, can be found, giving service of an un- selfish and high quality, and devoting himself and efforts to further the cause of Negro education.

'Jhirly-snrn 3 AM SEMINARY $AM Thirty-eight ! lliirly-nine 3 AM SEMINARY HISTORY History of the Graduating Class of Seminary When the gong in the belfry of the Mary Dod P.rown Memorial Chapel sounded on the memorable September evening in 1932, summoning the “sons of Lincoln to action, the Theological Department responded with a Junior Class twelve strong. This marked a banner year, for this was the largest class enrolled in that department during the decade. To some of these men, Lincoln with its rolling hills and wooded knolls was a thing of delight; while to the others, former sons of Lincoln, it meant an ex- tended retreat to seclusion. The first real task came in getting acquainted, both with the faculty and fel- low students. Then the expression of theological views and difficulties which we have now learned to leave unsettled. Gradually we learned to know each other better and definite steps were taken towards organization. Little of any worth was done in a spectacular way, during our Junior year. The places left vacant by Luke Heard and H. Parks Williams were soon Idled by the entrance of 11. G. Lee and H. A. Patterson. These men swung into line with the class, contributing much to its welfare. Mr. Hooks, our philosopher, continued to k the center of attraction in all classes and further extended his territory “sit- ting in at every public meeting”, seeking what he might devour. We have no fear lhat he will ever be considered a dead-head. The class as a whole showed marked improvement during this year, the men taking active part in all campus activities. We did, at times, tire of hearing Dean Johnson and Prof. Miller ask “where’s Kidd?” This year again came to a close bringing us to a realization that the “cold world” stood just a year ahead of us. As we entered into our senior year we felt the strain of duty u|x n us. Now was the time for us to make true all our Ixiasts of former days. The biggest burden fell on our seminary play-lxw U. K. Thompkins who was elected president of the Synod. The first work of the class was to persuade the department to adopt a standard key. Plans were then made for Commencement toward which every man looks with high hope. Meverly Ward and Levi Moore, during the year, were called to supply charges in Harrisburg and New Jersey respectively. I'rom all re- ports they are doing well. We are alxnit to commence our career at an eventful crisis in our country’s history and amid agitations over the earth which reach the very foundations of the social structure. Men’s hearts need to be stirred and their energies need to be aroused. More than ever the directing and sanctifying power of Christ’s gospel is needed; more than ever before there is a great demand for good ministers; we must be more than mere men of routine and tradition. We must be able to rise to the heights of the important questions which are moving the cultivated minds, and of those which are agitating the conscience and hearts of the multitude. We must be loyal to truth and (iod; we must, in this land, be men who can adjust our labors to the new conditions around us, with the boldness of all that is good and new, and the moderation which conserves all lhat is useful and sacred. $AM I'orty SEMINARY SEMINARY GRADUATING CI.ASS Okkukks President.

Falconkr Watts The oldest Greek letter secret order on Lincoln's campus, Nu chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, has continued the ellort to uphold those ideals to which it is pledged. The chapter was founded on November 22, 1912 in the face of a strong faculty op|M)sition to student secret organizations. Indeed, several members of the chapter were suspended when their connection with the fraternity became known. It is of significance that only as a result of the work of the chapter and the scholar- ship of its members was faculty recognition finally granted. The above picture represents a grouping of men bound together by common lies, individuals gen- uinely interested in self-betterment and desirous of cultivating to the highest de- grees those talents which they possess. Always desirous of creating and maintaining amicable relations among the various fraternal orders on the campus, the brothers of Nu have taken definite steps forward in that direction and thus paved the way for a policy of reciprocity which may yet effect a mutual attitude of Friendship and respect.

Kknnkdy The Kappa Alpha I si Fraternity was founded at Indiana University, January 5. 1911 and was incorporated on April 15, 1911 under Indiana State Laws. This was the first Negro fraternity to he incorporated. The Fraternity was founded upon the realization that the College,—a valuable and efficient agency for the edu- cation of youth—did not fully and adequately meet all of the needs of its students, and that another institution, the Fraternity, could share with the college the task of moulding the life and welfare of Negro youth. Epsilon Chapter was established at Lincoln University, December 4. 1915. This chapter exists under the jurisdiction of the Grand Chapter. National and local projects such as the Guide Right Week Movement and the Freshman Ora- torical Contest are a part of the annual program of this chapter. The Freshman Oratorical Contest, sponsored by the local chapter, is to en- courage students to develop their speaking ability. A Silver Loving Cup and Gold Medal are given to the winners of the first and second prizes respectively. Through these and other varied activities the fraternity affords the opjMirtuni- ties to obtain the proper guidance and educational advantages, as well as the social graces and em1 ellishments which fit men for participation in the society of cul- tivated men.

Scholarship, leadership, dignity and alertness to the problems facing us as a group, and in a bigger sense, as a race, have l een some of the more intangible yet invalu- able assets we have acquired. To be sure, the years have not been marked by ease; they often meant strug- gle of one nature or another; economic, political, inward conflicts as to whether fol- lowing the herd or travelling the narrow path of ideals should be the dominant factor in our outlook. Ideals won. We are glad, and we move olT the local arena confident that those upon whose shoulders shall fall the burden of carrying the banner of Sigma shall not fail to justify the confidence placed in them by us. $AM Porly-six FRATERNITIES Omesa Psi Phi Fraternity .........Fran k F.

Pounded just one year ago this spring, it has, in that time, become like the apple of Tantalus, the goal for which many strive but few attain. Its inception at Lincoln was brought about localise of a recognition of the need for a high scholarship organization. The four men who dreamed and forged that dream into an actuality as its charier members are. Alfred Walker, Harold Parrell. Joseph Anderson and James Robinson—the last named becoming its first president. ( ne month later six juniors and four seniors made the coveted marks which made them eligible for membership. Since it was patterned after ‘PBK, the National Honorary Praternity the requirements are equal to those of the chapters in many colleges. 'This year, seven other men. through their high scholarship and ability were awarded the shingle and key which they had won. The organization has set on foot plans to insure a permanent organization whose minimum requirements can not l e lowered, and secondly the V. M. C. A. Cabinet will award the keys to all who attain the scholastic standing in their junior and senior years. Already the purpose of stimulating scholarship and accurate research is bearing fruit. $AM Forly-eighl FRATERNITIES History of Beta Kappa Chi Beta Kappa Chi was founded in 1922 by a group of Lincoln University stu- dents interested in various scientific fields who felt the need of a closer bond which would give them common ideals and aims. Realizing that this was to be a select group the scholarship requirements were very high and consequently the number of men in the chapter was very small. This precept has been and always will be rigidly adhered to in order that membership in the society will be recognized as a signal honor. Our Society was so successful and stimulated so much interest in science on our campus that a movement was started to establish chapters at other schools. At the time Negro colleges had no national scientific society although most of the Grade A schools did have individual societies. Accordingly these schools were invited to affiliate themselves with Beta Kappa Chi and the Alpha Chapter was established here. I loward University, West Virginia State, Virginia Union Morgan College, John C. Smith and Lincoln University of Missouri accepted an invitation to set up chapters at their institutions and this was immediately done. This was a distinct step forward since we were supplying a very pertinent need— supplying a national organization whose standards would Ik high, and which would give students in Negro schools the same recognition which was accorded members of the national scientific society.

The 1934 track season consisted of three track meets: Penn Relays, Hampton Meet and the C.I.A.A. meet at Howard. In our first contest we were represented in the Penn relays by Ward. Still, Parker and Moultrie. Unfortunately we were just nosed out of first place in the mile relay by Villanova in the fast time of 3 min. 26 secs. At the Howard and Hampton meets we won second place. In the mile relay at the C.I.A.A. our team made a new record of 3 min. 28 secs., without being pushed. This season Coach Jones started the men working immediately after the weather broke. We have four meets this season in which to gather our laurels. They are the Penn Relays, a triangular meet with Morgan and Howard at 1’alti- more, the Howard meet and the C.I.A.A. meet at Hampton. Our class is represented by Capt. George Ward. DesVerney and Manager Frank Elliott. $AM Si.rty-tzvo SPORTS thick Ituir: Uuval. Jolinson. Miihllr 1,‘oir: Wiwy. MildiHI. Will Is. Aiiilcrsun. MitcliHI.

With the addition of a few new men and the loss of Veney our squad is the same as last year. Captain Joseph Anderson. Falconer Watts and Frank Coleman of football fame are members of our class. They lead the 1935 team to the C.I.A.A. champion- ship. 1935 Schedule Wissahickon Boys Club............................Philadelphia. Pa. Wissahickon Boys Club............................Philadelphia.

Jamks I’i.inton After I wo very disastrous seasons the warriors of the kick and bull court slowly welded a powerful and perfect machine until this year they were able, under the coaching of Prof. James to overcome all opposition and go through the season without a defeat. Fate, however, decreed that we should not win the C.l.A.A. conference championship when Hampton refused to meet our players. Our greatest satisfaction came when Howard was humbled 5 to 1. Howard came, confident that because we lost the previous year in practically every sport, that we were the underdog. In our non-conference games the team met and defeated the mighty Avongrove team which had taken the laurels of victory Irom us for six successive years. The crowning game which no one would have ventured to say that we would lose by a score of less than 9 1 was with West Vheslcr State Teachers’ College- Pennsylvania Stale Champions. To the sur- prise, the Lincoln men rose to the occasion and led 1 0 until the final three minutes when the teachers lied the score at which lime the game ended 1- 1. i AM S'.vly-four SPORTS llurl: Itinr: .1.

Basketball After a had start and tin loss of three of iis hesi players, the Lincoln University '34- 35 basketball leant, nevertheless liatl a successful season. Captain-elect Bricktop Wright. “Hus'’ Bergen and Larry” Bleach were all missing when the season started. In spite of these losses Coach Rivero moulded a lopnolch team from the remaining men. The Lions were ha rely noseil out for the CM.A.A. championship, although the Bisons were defeated three times hy the roaring Lions. Morgan, the other great rival was defeated four times in five games. The Lions showeil themselves t � l c superior to Morgan as well as I lowanl in these victories. The Lions were again handicapped last season hy inadequate facilities for practice, and to olTset this condition, Coach Rivero took his charges on an eight-day southern trip. The trip was a decided success, for we lost hut one of the seven games playetl and that was to Virginia Slate hy a very close score, 33- -31. The world’s champion Renaissance was met twice hy the Lions and emerged victorious each time. In the first, the Riveromen plaveil heads up” basketball and held the Reus to a nine-point victory. In the second game tlu World's C hampions lived up to their title hy outclassing the Lions hy a 54—31 score. Lincoln exhibited its best form of the season in lefealing Howard in New York City by the score of 34—25 ami probably showed its poorest in losing to I’.onleutown hy the score of 4(1—25. Besides playing and defeating leading college teams. Lincoln also met and humbled some of the outstanding Club outfits. Next season should prove t«� he even more successful than the past season, since only two of our best players will Ik- lost, Dick l)es Verney and ■‘Teeny” darner. Of the remaining players, there are Clark, a junior, live sophomores, Henderson, Pree, Brisbane. I'allanl and Durant, ami three freshmen. Jones, Carey and Moore. Larry” Bleach, who was ruled ineligible by a transfer rule last season will Ik- eligible for competition next season. Much credit is due Coach Rivero who. in his first year at Lincoln has put «nit a team that has shown itself to he as good, if not superior it any team in Lincoln’s history.

Richard DesVkrney, Homkr Asiiby After defeating Howard University 7—6 in 1931. which closed a season of nine victories and one defeat, our football record has not been so impressive. We have lost all of our major games in the last three years. During the early training for the 1934 football season, we had high hopes for a winning team under the guidance of our two new coaches. M. Rivero and C. Jones. Hut due to financial and scholastic troubles a number of the veterans were declared ineligible, leaving only live veterans, and a number of inexperi- enced sophomores and freshmen and a new system. The coaching staff worked hard and achieved a fighting aggregation to start the season off with victories over Wissahickon Hoys’ Club and Cheyncy Teachers’ College. Hut the winning streak came to an end and we lost the remaining games on our schedule. Captain Coleman. Hergen, Watts, Ward, Haskerville, DesVcrney, Manager F. Day and Trainer Allen are the members of our class who through so many unfortunate conflicts nevertheless carried with high hopes the Orange and the Hlue. 3 AM Sixty-six SPORTS Guthrie—Guard Bergen—All C.l.A.A.
