This theme, we hold, embodies the thought of the Emancipator--Abraham Lincoln--and ad- monishes us of our responsibilities to seek knowledge and to use it to enlighten our fellow man. Contrary to popular belief, a college de- gree in itself is not tantamount to education; it is, however, a rude awakening of how little we know, and how much there is for us to learn. During our four years at Lincoln the cardinal principle emphasized and inculcated was . .that without education, life is but a reflection of death. With this dictum ever present in our minds, it is our humble desire to become imbued fully with the spirit of the Muse. We hold forth this book to the memories of our years at Lincoln University. The road we traveled was not always smooth, and the sacrifices not always pleasant, but those were the good years. As we leave this hallowed sanctuary of learning, it is with reverence that we look ahead and become aware of our inadequacies. The Moving Finger writes; and having writ; Moves on; nor all (our) Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all (our) Tears wash out a Word of it. It is our pledge to meet the challenges which lay ahead; to take up the fight against ignorance; and to become stalwart citizens in the community of the world, perceiving that we have only tasted of the Pierian Springs and are not fully emancipated from our own ignorance. Whitfield A. Gittens DEDICATION IN MEMORIAM Our past life here at Lincoln will eventu- ally become a cherished memory. Linked to that day-dream will be the memory of the face of our Dear Classmate Earl Harris. As we sing our Alma Mater, one voice smaller and misty eyed, we remember now as we will later, that though we are separated we are together. 4 OUR ADVISOR JAMES W, FRANKOWSKT 5 President Marvin Wachman Hincoln jHmtotraity Lincoln UNivcnaiTY PCNMBVLVAMIA ornec Or ymk rncaiocNT March 18, 1963 To The Class of 1963 It is a privilege to contribute a brief message to the Class of 1963. This class is distinguished for a number of accomplishments, two of which I should like to record for posterity. Tirst, and most important, the Class of 1963 is a very highly motivated and deeply concerned class. It has de- livered a chastening lesion to those who predict accomplishment nolelv on the basic o' stindardized national test scores, by performing well shove their predictions. Secondly, this class contributed substantial leadership, energy, imagination and commitment to the larrest effort in Lincoln University's his- tory to find the resources to build the University to a new level of excellence. This effort is in keeping with the tra- dition o' the University and the requirements of the second half of the twentieth century. Cood luck and best wishes from us all. Faithfully yours. Marvin Wachman President ADMINISTRATION .. .1 do order and declare that all per- sons held as slaves within said desig- nated states and parts of states are, and hence forward shall be free... Abe Lincoln ADMINISTRATION BULGING LINCOLN HALL FACULTY Slavery is but half abolished, emanci- pation is but half completed, while millions of free men with votes in their hands are left without education. 7 Robert Winthrop MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 1963: You, too, are inheritors of a great tradition as Sons of Phi following in that illustrious and Royal Line of odd-year classes of Lincoln men. It is my hope that as participants in our world culture you will be strengthened by the ties of friendship formed here at Alma Mater. May you repeat often and act out those lines of our Alma Mater, and constant and true, we will live for thee anew. My fondest wish for each of you is good health and happiness as you contin- ue to open doors of opportunity for others and emancipate them from the fears of our imagination and of our world. Leroy D. Johnson, '31 Dean of the College DEAN LEROTD. JOHNSON TO THE CLASS OF 1963 The current issue of the NEA News says, The maturing of the sense of social responsibility does not come automatically with age. Democracy, rightly, emphasizes the individual. But this emphasis must not become a cult . Unless there is social responsibility shown by large numbers of individuals, our democracy would become a plae substitute for the real thing. Your maturing comes as a consequence of your own efforts of sec- ond thinking and acting and feeling. We hope that your stay at Lincoln has helped to bring to fruition your own sense of social responsibility. Thus you will be able to take your place with the many sons of Lincoln who have made real contributuions to the society of which they are integral parts. James Bonner MacRae Dean of Students DEAN JAMES B. MACRAE 8 FRANK J. DOWD, JR. VICE PRESIDENT It is a great personal pleasure to greet the members of the Class of 1963. All of us here on the campus will watch with pleasure and interest as members of Lincoln's latest class make their way through graduate schools and into influential business and professional positions. It is only through the contributions of alumni to society that a college ultimately justifies itself. I am confident that your class will stand with those who have gone before you as prime examples of the worlds that can be won through education. As your college moves ahead to meet new challenges and adopts new methods to help new generations of students to meet the opportunities of their day, we look for- ward to the advice and support of the class of 1963. Frank J. Dowd 9 Vice-President REGISTRAR The purpose of a college education is usually thought to be the acquisition of knowledge and facts in the various areas of learning. Though this is doubtless true, the student who acquired only book learning has fallen short of the full objective of college training. In college he also should have developed and acquired a workable philosophy of life, as well as a curiosity which will cause him to be a student the rest of his life. Commencement day should not mark the end of learning, but its true beginning. Paul Kuehner Registrar 10 ) AUSTIN H. SCOTT Vice-President for Business and Finance DONALD C.

When 135 students from 16 states, one territory and five foreign coun- tries converged on Lincoln's campus in the fall of 1959, Lincoln did not have a president; there was no such office as vice-president; there was no modern science building; there were remnants of the Lincoln University Theological Seminary; and the offices for all administrators were located in a two story, one family house. With the completion of four years of residence by the students who entered in 1959, everyone of these situations had changed and the foundation of Lincoln's renaissance was firmly laid. The Class of '63 seemed no different from any of the other classes which had been entering Lincoln every year for the past 105 years. But our presence after four years has categorized us uniquely in many ways. In Lincoln's entire history only the Class of 1948 had more students to graduate than our class. We do not know of grading statistics, but we do know that not one semester passed during our four years when there were not members of our class on the Dean's List. Members of our class participated in every varsity sport continuously for four years. And it was when the Student Senate was led by members of our senior class that the wearing of ties to Sunday dinners was made a rule. However, in other ways our class was the same as all classes at Lincoln. We were, of course, the smart freshmen who came to Lincoln with the idea that each of us was a king in his own right. After all, we were kings in our respective high schools. The upperclassmen at Lincoln soon changed our thoughts. We had our woodnight, our pep song sessions at midnight and our rabble sessions. As freshmen we even had two class presidents. Our first president, William 'Atlas' Grey, v as replaced during the second semester by Charles Ballard, who led our class for two more consecutive years. The friendly face of Dean Grim was no longer at Lincoln when we came back for our sophomore year. We could not worry much about that, however, be- cause it was our duty as sophomores to do right by the freshmen. This we did. We had no ill feelings against the freshmen - we did not even know them - but we had a Lincoln tradition to uphold. Fraternities were very much alive to us in our sophomore year and over forty of us who had the average and the desire pledged. Our junior year was marred with the death of one of our classmates, Earl Franklin Harris. We had reached the stage now when college was no longer a novelty to us. Our number had greatly diminished and former classmates as Nine-Nine, Divinity and Atlas were no longer with us, but we cannot forget them and others like them. This was the year that Lincoln got a permanent president, a new vice-president and the office of business manager was renamed vice-president for business and finance. 94 It was rarely said aloud but we were hesitant about accepting ourselves as seniors. Our hesitation did not come from a lack of personal qualification or a fear of the world outside our Mcompound,. , as one African classmate labeled our campus in our freshman year. Our hesitation came as a result of the com- radeship which developed among us since 1959. We had met and learned to appreciate the company of each other so much so until we seemed a part of each others life. Our friendships by our senior year had become so close un- til we questioned our ability to live for 18 years before coming to Lincoln without knowing our present fraternity brothers and Old Ladies. But in the words of Dr. Horace Mann Bond, we had shown that we had .. .the fortitude to endure, to persevere and to go forward. We graduate with less than half of the number that started in the fall of 1959. Some transferred to other colleges, some failed in their course work and others just quit. But it is doubtful that any of us will forget Lincoln, her campus, her professors, her students, her weekend runs, her athletic events, her spring dances, her rabble, her wasaways. We leave Lincoln in a spirit of thankfulness. We know the roads ahead are not all of asphalt. But even in the absence of asphalt we will travel anyway, for Lincoln has made us aware of our . . .fortitude to endure, to persevere and to go forward.

FROM THE DESK OF THE EDITOR OF THE LINCOLNIAN It is interesting to note that when the Lincoln men of years past decided to select a mascot they chose the highly symbolic lion. They were fully aware that this cele- brated animal was the epitome of the outstanding masculine virtues: unfaltering aggressiveness, strenuous competition, unyielding strength and enormous courage. And traditionally, Lincoln men have personified the qualities of their lion and have become universally associated with its image. Lincoln men have also become lion- like in their roar. World-famous for candor and outspokeness we are often referred I to as eloquent loudmouths who have eternally stated with distinction our never I changing stand against the hypocrisy and shame that exist within our society. And, as we are morally obligated to continue this campaign deeply into the distant future I urge you the class of 63 to do battle with submissiveness, mediocrity and indifference wherever you find them. And in the same vein support and speak out for equality, and advancement with vigor and conviction. Congratulations and Good Luck!

It is impossible to tell you how deeply I regret my inability to be with you on June 3rd. I would have been proud and hapiy to have attended your Commence- ment and I hope you will congratulate your graduates for me and express my disappoint- ment at not being with them and your most distinguished guests. Again, may I say that I am grieved at the inconvenience I have caused you ana hope you will understand that only some- thing beyond my control would keep rue from being with you on this happy occasion. Very sincerely yours, 123 COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES 124 k 126 127 128 129 130 i 131 THE EDITOR SPEAKS. .. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could re- move mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. I Corinthians 13:2 We have unleashed many unforseen powers. The world has advanced so rapidly, we are awed with such spontaneous transformations. Education has become a universal goal, and the master of all measuring sticks. It is cer- tainly invaluable, collosal and any other favorable terms one may ascribe to it. However, let us not become so power-crazed, so drunk with self ac- complishment, so tied-up in our race for world dominance, that we forget from whence we came. Frequently one will say that the sun is the source of all power, but I would ask him, what is the source of the sun? Regardless of the name we call the Master Power, we all agree that He would have us charitable first and last. We must re-establish our values, re-affirm our goals, and reconcile our- selves with the Creator, so that our knowledge does not annihilate us. We need an understanding that only the Almighty can give.. .Love is greater than the bomb. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. Working on this Yearbook has been an education in itself, both pleasant and unpleasant. It is amazing how many volunteers for a seemingly glori- ous job default when they realized that glory means hard work. The excuses I have heard could fill a book, but the BUCK stopped here and I have en- deavored to meet the challenge head-on with the available resources. In spite of the hardships and sacrifices, it has been enjoyable, and I wish to thank the diligent few who has shared in this experience with me. Re- capitulating our four years at Lincoln was no easy task, but we tried... .We have advanced one more step up the infinite ladder of life, We have crossed the bay, the ocean lies ahead . 132 Horace A.
