Lincoln means all things to all people; to some it is perhaps the hig events that matter; to others it may he no more than the trees of Maple Drive edged with the brilliance of frost upon an early winter morn. Each man holds as his summum bonum a different essence distilled from the four years passed within the arch. To all it means Alma Mater. We cannot make captive in photograph or word the experiences of things gone hv. We hut provide the stimulus to memory so that we who are now young may, when the halcyon days of youth have fleeted away, retreat to the one asylum where we can never die—memory.

WALTER LIVINGSTON WRIGHT Tribute laid at the gateway of memory to one who gave ungtintingly so that we might grow is our dedication. Words are such futile things for they can neither bridge the breadth of our gratitude nor sound the depth of our debt. To Dr. Walter Livingston Wright we place this saga of the institution he served for fifty-three years. His parting leaves the realization vacuum of all that he meant to Lincoln. But as surely as the grass grows green so shall the memory of him be re-lived with the passing of the years. 9 01 XttsjMjuf] ujtaurj fa iu9pjvoj,j HNJOH NNVMI 5IDVM0H MCI To the Class of 1946: Jl is with regret, but also with pride and hope, that we see you leave the University. Your presence here will be missed. You have been among the loyal few who have maintained, at its highest, the great tradition of Lincoln during the diflieult war years. Together with the Late President-Kmeritus Wright, and a diminished faculty, you have manfully kept the institution, not only alive, but full of vitality. It is cause for regret to see such staunch men leave. It is also eause lor pride and hope. The qualities you have shown during a period of great difficulty are warrant enough to us all that you will face whatever new difficulties life has to offer with equal staunchness and with equal portion of success. Hence our pride, and our hope, in and for you. It is gratifying to know, also, that the promise you showed as Freshmen marked you then as worthy of high place in the world, and has remained to flower in your later years. Tomorrow, as yesterday, you will find that ability must be joined to high endeavor and hard work if promise is to be fulfilled. You have our gratitude, our pride, our hope, and our joy in your past and future. 1 know you will make for yourself and for Lincoln University a new place of honor in the public eye, not surpassed by any graduates of the long years behind you. Sincerely yours, IfoiiActi Mann Bond. II JOS KIM I NKWTON HILL Dean af (hr College TO THE MKMHERS OF THE (Graduating Class of 1946: It is quite probable that if I have not made my thoughts clear to you, after a series of attempts covering a jieriod of four years, 1 shall hardly succeed now. It is true, however, that this message is not intended as a final thought, hut rather as a gesture of good will—a lion voyage.” liemember, then, the admonitions from Alina Mater; remember, too, the days of arduous work and of real enjoyment which were spent on the cam- pus. From such memories of work and play, take up the pattern of a balanced life and apply it to all I hat you do or say. You may even build an ennobling philosophy of life. The world has need of balanced men—men cognizant of the great society of their fellowmen throughout the world. I am counting on you, through under- standing, to help bring peace and progress to all mankind. Sincerely, J. Newton Hill Dean of the College. 12 To ihe Class of 1946: Greetings: Your college career lias traverse ! the course of the war years. From the disturbed experiences of verdant freshmen to the anxious days of noble seniors you were called upon to weather the storm” in a variety of ways. Many of your comrades have been drawn away through this stretch of time, both by the call to military service, and by the greater attractiveness of other engagements. A few of you have fought through to the end and today stand on the verge of a new adventure. Today, as at no time during the last live years, the world presents to the college graduate both confusion and challenge. A considerable portion of vour answer to this condition is dependent upon the resources with which you are equipped as you take your next great step toward meeting I he world’s needs. It is my hope that in this process of arming you with the spiritual and intellectual weapons I hat will be required in the struggles now before you, your Alma Mater has nol been derelict in the fulfillment of its obligations. FRANK THKODORK WILSON Doan of Mon We are called upon in these days to reaffirm our sense of unity in bold and daring undertakings for the common good of mankind. Our contribution to the larger welfare of humanity will be measured in terms of the effectual use of our powers in that small segment of the world where each of us has the privi- lege of living and working. Let everyone then go forth to utilize his gifts of mind and body in that place to which opportunity and responsibility may assign him. And as we so work with the full release of all of our energies, may we be reminded continually that we are sustained by an ever-devoted circle of friendship and affection. Sincerely yours, Frank T. Wilson, Dean of Men. 13 PAUL KUEHNKR Registrar ami ('.lass Ailnsar To Dr. Paul Kuehner the class of '16 gives heartfelt thanks for the calm objectivity of judgment that prom! such an aid to the Lion staff.

Kvcn aa I argue, the pagea of the year� awiftly change—already I am ten year� older—the year — 1956. Reluctantly I had succumlied to the old man'� promine to allow me my claanmaten living in their own little cantica in the atomic world which wan horn a� a Htratoapheric touching cloud in the academic year, 1945-46. Gently, he led me down the alreeta of New Prn- lomania, paved with a mixture of atomic energy and 1 IgO. A� we approached the picket field, I noticed a football game being played on an improviard gridiron behind the hanger� .

Alighting at lyondon Dr. Bainer mentioned he waa attending the annual meeting of psychologist� at (aimhridgc. I wa� beginning to see why Father Time waa ao insistent. Already the trip waa proving interesting and extraordinarily revealing—and still he promis'd more, lie hadn't finished his stalment when another femiliar person hoarded the wailing rocket laden with several folios of varying sizes. Without waiting for him to find hi� seat I asked Ilia name. To my surprise, I discovered he waa Goruelius Jenkins, re- turning to his medical studies at Howard Medical School from the World Conference of the Y. M. C. A. Jenkins remarked that while in Vienna he met Ashley Mines, who waa a post-graduate student of dentistry at the Univerfity of Vienna. His latest article, How- to Wear Fa he Teeth Gracefully,” had brought him added fame. As we neared our destination the hewhiakered gentle- man |N)iuted out a beautiful landscaped island in the middle of the ocean.

My guide informed me the mortician, Royal Allen, had recently discovered a method of embalming superior to that of the Kgyptians. The old man of the future observed how phenomenal it was to lind former Lincoln men collaborating in their medical work. I soon realized he was speaking of Doctors Gregory McNeil and Marlin McNair, Venereal and Heart Specialists, respectively, for the Sultan of Nomah's harem in Turkey. From New York, where we took leave of Jenkina, we hoarded another rocket heading for Lincoln Uni- versity to take part in the Tenth Anniversary of the Class of 1946. Arriving in less than two minutes at our destination we were greeted by Professor l everett Hope, Chairman of the Departments of l iysics and Research Chemistry. We were led directly to the office of the professor of Romance Languages. To my amazement I found him to he Jack II. Dawley. As we strolled the campus- passing Lincoln, Ash- man. C rosso I), Vail Memorial, McCauley's Refectory, Rcndall and the building� of years hack—my class- mates told me, It has been decided to renovate all buildings with atomic paint instead of building new nn s. This was done ao as to keep the old tradition of Lincoln confined within the ancient buildings. During my promenade, I discovered the last six Book-of-lhe-Month Club selections were not written hy II. Molo hut by Dr. Dawley who was also s| ccial adviser to the United Slates Board of education. In his swift and witty manner. Dr. Dawley asked what I was lining. Modestly I answered, I have just resigned a� dean of men at Columbia University to ansume my new duties as Bishop-elect of the Methodist Church.' The best is yet to come' - the words were all hut audible.

I watched some of Lincoln's l est men drive off in those per| etual “Trailwnys —Ace Parker, Perry Owens, R. Ridgeway. Carl Ligotia, Little Hutch etc. nnd one day I found myself getting on one for a one way trip. With tears in my eyes, I watched the familiar Chester County countryside roll by nnd wondered when would I again l onrd a Trailway” at 13th Filbert, headed for Rendnll Hall. Soon I was enrolled in one of the greatest of fraterni- ties, the U. S. Army. At night ns I lay on my cot in the Irnrrncks nnd listened to the GIs joke nnd raise cnin,” my thoughts wandered l ack to those happy days in old Ashmun-Linroln dormitory—those days of “floor and water fights, Ashmun vs Cresson, .Senior walk and the night of March 3rd, '43, homecomings nnd “Hell Week,” the “old Lincoln” and the “esprit de corps” that made a Lincoln Man” known throughout the intercolleginte world. Now that the Lions of Lincoln (nnd of course with a little help from the rest of the armed forces) have brought Tojo and the rest of the Fascists to their knees, our thoughts arc on home and at this time of year, the lovely green campus of Lincoln. With somewhat a little envy, though with much pride, I can picture you forming the procession and ending up in the grove where under the maples your four years of toil will l e rewarded. The battle is over and for a short time you can relax before going out in the world. Though 8,000 miles away, my heart will Ire with you ns one by one you ascend the plntform for your diplomn. I can imagine your proud pnrents Irenming ns your nnrr.es are called and I can also see the empty chairs which so many service parents will not fill. In the midst of your happiness, classmates, if otdy for a minute, recall those who started out on the journey with you in the frdl of '42. Say a prayer for those of us who may Ire lying on some foreign Irattlefield. Know that we are with you in spirit and that we are proud of you and hope nnd know that you will further prove to the world thnt the class of forty six—though few in numbers are worthy of being Lincoln Men” and the Ircst class thnt ever graduated, nnd will ever graduate from Lincoln University. For all of us who are unable to Ire present with you, let me wish you the heartiest congratulations nnd hope that soon we will Ire united in a big class reunion. And when you raise your voices on thnt Inst night, in the Ire- loved strains of “Dear Lincoln, give it all you've got nnd the breezes that hover nround ole Rendnll Hall will enrry the notes clear around the world to us who will be listening for them. To each of you, congratulations for a task well done. Your classmate, T Sgt. Joseph S.

I). 41 JKSSK BBLMONT BAH BKit Dran of thr Smiinury Gentlemen of the Classes of 1946: It is a pleasure to bring you greetings from the Seminary of Lincoln University, and to congratulate you heartily that you have been enabled, through God’s good grace, to achieve this high and memorable vantage point in your journey toward your goal. Your years of sojourn here, though sequestered from the storms without, have not been an unfitting prelude to your entry into a larger sphere. Wherever you may go and whatever the circum- stance, the deep truths gathered—of books and men and God— will greatly serve, if followed, to undergird and implement and enrich your days. My choice wish is that among the cherished experiences which will live fore’er in memory, as guiding stars through life,” for you there will ever remain the recollection of the Chapel Bell— its summons to your highest and best for the Highest and Best of All. Go in peace, and may the God of love and peace be with you. 42 Jesse Belmont Barber. Lcjl to right: Thomas, Booth, Wiggins. Second rote: Buskcrvillo, James. Third row: Brooks, Gumjier. These men constitute the Seminary; earnestly do they seek to become cognizant of the Unknowable so as to minister to the needs of their fellowman. In the dark midnight watches as in the brightness of the noonday do they cry Elohim”; to them we take off our hats as they become apostles of the faith which the world so vitally needs. THE GIIADUATES BOOTH THOMAS WIGGINS 43 CLASS OF ’47 The Junior Class is fortunate in that it is on the thresh- hold of seniority as Lincoln embarks upon a new era. Decimated by the rigors of war and social upheaval these sons of the line of Phi stand ready to assume the mantle that the last year of college life will thrust upon them. President..........................William Hall Vice-President.....................James Shockley Secretary..................................Edward Gravely 45 CLASS OF ’4« Acting as if they had acquired the wisdom of Solomon during one year of life on Lincoln's campus, the sophomores have learned the extent of their false belief during the semesters just past. Men of 48 have at last shed the superficiality of sophomoric wisdom, standing at the gateway to the upper classes. President.................Krnbst Whiteside Vice-President................Robert Boyd 46 Secretary Arthur Willis CLASS OF ’4� Verdantly fresh with the cloak of naivete the class of ’49 enters through the arch as we depart.

THE SENATE The Student Senate was innovated this year in order to give the student hodv a broader basis of representation in campus government than the old student council had provided. In attempting to carry out the tradition of student government here at Lincoln University the Senate has endeavored to live up to its name. THE LINCOLNIAN In any social order that is built upon a demo cratic foundation there must be provision made for the expression of the will of the masses. The Lincolnian has more than fulfilled that pur|H se upon our campus. As a persistent and sometimes blatant, but always earnest seeker after truth the organization was one of the few live wires upon a campus numbed by the effects of war.

Maintaining high standards and the ideals which have molded Alpha into the fraternity that it is, Nu Chapter has continually sought to fulfill those ideals in the campus life. The Alpha Forum is a separate division of Nu Chapter that aids in the ful- fillment of the fraternal concept by bringing outstanding personalities in American life to the campus for the enrichment of our general lives.

FOOTBALL In September of 1945 the Lions roared onto the gridiron to make the victors of last year the vanquished of this year. In the opening league game the ltivero eleven on a cold, bleak afternoon trounced Delaware, in a one-sided game, by the score of 25 to 13. With this victory burning in their blood, the Lions sought out Virginia Union. Though the Lincoln eleven put up a gallant fight, Virginia Union emerged victorious by the score of 13 to 7. Disheartened, the Lions fell to defeat at the hands of Morgan, Hampton, and Virginia State. But on Thanksgiving day came the classic of the year—The Howard-Lincoln Game. With bloody revenge and determination, Lincoln entered upon the Shibe Park gridiron to avenge the four successive defeats. 60 The Nisons, heavy favorites before the game, never got started. Though they threatened to take to the air, the Lion’s defense proved too strong. Howard’s first fire loomed up in the first quarter but Charles Cabaniss quickly quenched it by intercepting a pass on Lincoln’s ten-vard- line and raced to the mid-field stripe before four Nisons halted him. From then on Howard became more respectful of the Lincoln eleven’s anti-pass defense. In the third quarter a 40-vard touchdown sprint by fullback “Pete” Johnson set the Pennsylvanians on the way to victory. The Howard eleven then seemed to gain their footing but it was of no avail for Lincoln was able to withstand and turn back their attacks with equal power. Thus ended the Thanksgiving Day classic with Lincoln emerging victorious. 6-0. CAPTAIN HUGH JOHNSON CHARLES CABANISS 1 t) u JIM LAV BILLY HALL KASKRTHAL I. Having played the entire CIAA Season with but a single loss the Lincoln University Five entered the Washington Tournament odds on favorite. Then came the crack-up. Like the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back, the Lion also broke under the strain. Even the desire of Billy Hall, the spirit of Jim Usry, the ability of a Bill Hunter plus the team cooperation of every other man couldn’t tip the scales. The sporting fates had deter- mined to prove to the Lincoln mentor that the impossible couldn’t Ik done. PIGGY ARMSTKND As a comet flares across the nocturnal sky, only to plunge into the obscurity whence it came, so did the Lincoln University bas- ketball squad. Under the double burden of travel-weariness and an overloaded schedule even the championship Lion Team was forced to crack. On the whole, however, the team took on a terrific schedule this year and performed in true Lincoln top-notch style. With a record of 5 losses, the Lion five can indeed be proud.
