DEAN MILLER Class Advisor Ever since we were Ireshmen, we have ad- mired Dean Miller for his scholarship, religious eminence, and his personal distinction. We have always found him willing to cooperate in all things which tended to enrich student life at Lincoln University. His surety of judgment, amiable disposition, and fair administration led Phi Alpha Psi to choose him as its Class Advisor. May he continue to make himself a vital force for scholarship, honesty and understanding to the men who follow us in years to come. MR. ULYSSES G. LEE Year Book Advisor We are indebted to Assistant Professor Lee for the many valuable points which he gave to us during the preparation of our book. His knowledge of Journalism and good taste proved definite assets to the staff. Year Books are projects of the student body and when a member of the faculty is called upon to be the advisor, the temptation is great for him to exercise his position to curtail the freedom of the staff. But we are glad to say that Pro- fessor Lee gave us a “Carte Blanche and no changes were deemed necessary.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Greetings— Again, a Lincoln class bids us farewell, and men go out to sterner responsibilities. Others take their places, yet the places are never filled. We know you as individuals—not lost in the crowd You will return from time to time, we hope to renew the old friendships and check with us on what is wise in the preparation of men. We shall follow your careers with the hope that you under- stand life better for the days at Lincoln, that in the joy of working you will be part of a generation that will find its way out of the uncertainties of the present into the better times within our reach, yet so elusive as the passions of men prevent their progress. We hope for new buildings that will leave only the memory of a library crowded with books and men and the closely packed halls, where thrice daily, so many students are gath- ered at the call of the bell. Yet through all change will be the continuing Lincoln passing on its life and welcoming you to the old ways. May the winds blow fair and the tides run smooth, but may you never lack the heart to breast the current when the port lies up the stream. Sincerely, WALTER LIVINGSTON WRIGHT. President 8

DEAN WILSON'S MESSAGE Men of '39—Comrades All: Greetings and farewell. No paeans to blazon forth your day of triumph. No sorrow songs recounting days of bitter struggle and nights of darksome agony. At noontide or in the stillness of the night, your hands have found commerce with things your hearts have most desired. Whether pursuing the course on man's dull groping toward the Highest Good or searching for the mysteries incased within electrons or simple cells, from dawn to dusk your minds have trafficked with all things to which you were alive. There is no turning back, nor can your deepest wishings recapture for you even the faintest fragment of all that filled your yesteryears. Whatever was admitted into the hours of bygone days and nights has made of you the greater or the lesser man. Pause now in this brief hour, as one, who moving toward his star, stands still to check his course and gain new strength for plodding still more difficult. Hail, then, this day as a time of arriving and departing. If, into this moment of recollection, you bring strong minds, clear eyes, and hearts that know no fainting—well done. Take leave of these protecting walls. Face forward from the disturbing beauty of woods and hills, of winter's quiet snows, and springtime's verdant ecstasy. Between the eternities of all our yesterdays and all our tomorrows, we stand, reverent and thoughtful. Pledge again your deepest loyalty to the best that these years have revealed to you and within you. Down through the years into the greater life you go. For those, who now declare their purpose to advance into this large sphere, life hath decreed that weaklings perish and men of indecision have no voice. Your Friend and Fellow-Traveler. 10 FRANK THEODORE WILSON.
