FCREWCRD Our lives, like the fashions and styles of to- day, are in a state of constant change. Looking back over our two years at Lincoln, we can re- call many momentous changes in our lives each year: our teachers, our school, our interests, our activities, our attitudes - all have changed. We also have learned values that do not change over the years - knowledge, morals, and deep friendship. We, the Lynxite Staff, have tried to record a part of our memories at Lincoln College, from our first day as Freshmen to our last day as Sophomores.

DEDICATIO TO David H. Harts The late David H. Harts was devoted to the welfare of Lincoln College. During his long period of service, he established sound academic standards and management at Lincoln College. Not only did he give generously of his time, but he set an enviable example of thoughtful philanthropy. With his wife he provided the college with Harts Hall, a residence hall for women. He gave generously to each new project and improvement in the expansion and maintenance of Lincoln College, but did not limit his interest to these. He was devoted to superior academic instruction and set up part of his estate as a trust fund to provide extra funds for faculty salaries. Mr. Harts was particularly interested in the expansion and improvement of the college library. A large share of his estate he designated to augment the general endowment fund of the college, so that his generosity will continue to enrich the program which he helped so greatly to foster. September 27, 1964, was a memorable occasion not only for Mrs. D. H. Harts, but also for Lincoln College, for that day marked the dedication of the David H. Harts Memorial Science Building. As stated by William McCormick, sponsor for Mr. Harts' honorary doctorate, Seldom have aman and an institution been so closely identified with each other over as long a period of time as were David H. Harts and Lincoln College. 2 l it 1 , I 1 i 1 3 fs 'z

In 1865 Lincoln was a small farming community on the rolling prairies of central Illinois, a whistle stop on the Springfield to Bloomington railroad line. North and South were at war, and the greatest American of them all was suffering the two great sections to renew their Union. The town of Lincoln had been named after Honest Abe in 1853 when he was still a struggling lawyer, and the friends of the college naturally turned to him for aid when they began to erect the first building, G. H. Campbell, president of the board of trustees, wrote him: It is the desire of the Board to make the University Second to None in the West, and while it may be a blessing to the present and future generations shall be an honor to your name. That was March 4, and on April 14 Abraham Lincoln was shot and killed in Ford's Theater. His body was returned to Springfield by train, pausing briefly at the Lincoln sta- tion as the town mourned. But the college remained to carry on the name of Lincoln, for money had been gathered, support won from the Synod commission, and ground was broken for the main building on February 6, 1865. Spurred by the work of such men as Colonel Latham, Reverend White, and Judge Campbell, Lincoln University began to rise from the Illinois prairie, and by autumn's opening of school, nearly 200 students were on hand to com- mence their educations under the presidency of the Reverend Azel Freeman, D. D., and a faculty of five distinguished Christian scholars. Postville Court House, where Lincoln practiced law. ga I x - l
