The Mantle represents the high principles for which Lin- coln stands and, in accepting the Mantle, the Junior Class pledges to guard and perpetuate, with equal vigor, the traditions of Lincoln University. The Class of 1945 will proudly make its investiture this year and charges that the Class of 1946 keep the Mantle pure and spotless for posterity. “And Elijah passed him by, and cast his mantle upon him.” OFFICERS President....................E.

He only knows how much he doesn't know, which is usually equal to the capacity of a match-box advertisement. That’s what makes him smart. It is only human that the phenomenal rise from slave to master with dictatorial powers should be accompanied by a feeling of im- portance. I am a sovereign entity ... I am Homo Sapiens Superieur . . . I am a Sophomore. THE SOPHOMORE CLASS 28
