But The Future Now Beckons With Shining Promise Veterans poured back to the campus after the war, enrollment reached new highs, and life breathed again at Lincoln. In 1948 Raymond A. Dooley assumed the President's role, a position he has held ever since, and the long climb upward began again. In 1957 Olin-Sang dormitory was completed, Forsythe Hall followed, then Carroll Hall, and now an addition to that is near completion. Athletic facilities grew to keep pace with increased enrollment, and in 1964 the finest new structure since early in the century was dedicated, Harts Science Building, in honor of the greatest Lincoln College man of them all, David H. Harts, who died two years earlier. It is now twenty years since the War, an even century since the founding, and expansion accelerates with each passing year. Enrollment has passed the 500 mark, buildings continue to spring up in all directions, cultural programs become more available, and emphasis shifts from mere survival to academic attainment. Without question the direction of the future xx iiii i 5 is upward. New dimensions in education, sci- in entific and liberal, beckon on the horizon, new construction plans are being drawn, new facili- ties, from the fine library to the outstanding science equipment, are available to the new stu- , , dents, the students who follow in the footsteps of ' 'Att M ' W- f the thousands who have gone before them, who have paved the way for today and for tomorrow. It is an honorable heritage at Lincoln, a proud tradition offered by the school named in honor of the Great Emancipator, the man with little formal education but with the wisdom of the ages at his command. 4 ,. ..,f, .ggi ,., ,rvn iii .
