IN MEMORIAM i Well may some local Milton in thinking of Kenneth Sinclair Dodson, inscribe lines such as those of the poet to his friend Lycidas. For his parting was taken with deep sorrow by all who knew him and realized his capabilities. Not a year has passed since he influenced student opinion and action here at Lincoln with his intensity of apprehension and his refreshingly new viewpoint. His interests were wide and varied and his accomplishments distinctive. He was a friend to all as his impartiality in judgment was responsible for the settlement of numerous individual and campus problems. His firm convictions and his zeal to elevate the standards of his fellow student made him a driving force in our community. Especially did Dodson devote himself to the publishing of last year's annual. He achieved such a high degree of practicality and informality in “recapturing visually the myriad activities of student life at Lincoln” that he influenced to a great extent the policy of this year's staff. To him do we owe a special debt of gratitude and to his memory do we, the class of '40, dedicate this book—the 1940 LION. 6

orewor ‘The moving finger writes, and having writ Moves on. Nor all your piety nor wit, Shall lure it hack to cancel half a line, Nor all your tears wash out a word of it. This is the thesis of our college days, and this edition of the senior class annual an attempt to im- mortalize those memories of our brief sojourn here, which have created so indelible an impression upon our collective lives. If in this, sometime in the hidden future we shall pause to relive those golden hours again and again and again, then its purpose has been fulfilled. LIFE AT LINCOLN UNIVERSITY

CLASS ADVISERS The class of 1940 is indebted to Professor Harold Fetter Grim and to Professor Shelby Albright Rooks from whose wealth of experience and friendly counsel we have borrowed much to help us to realize the fundamental principles of service which our “Alma Mater” has tried so generously to infuse in us, and we shall sincerely carry them with us into the world which we are about to meet. The sunset of graduation slowly dawns upon us, and ere we depart we sincerely thank our faculty advisers and hope it was as James Thompson said: “Delightful task! to rear the tender thought. To teach the young idea how to shoot.” 7
