AND THIS BOOK WE DEDIC TE TO RAYMOND . DOOLEY For almost a quarter of a oentury Raymond Nelson Dooley has been president of Lincoln College. He came here in 1948 when the staff consisted of 17 people with 60 students. Now, in 1971, there are 56 people on the staff, 41 of whom are teachers, and almost 600 students. Before coming to LC, he was admissions counselor at Stephens College, Columbia, Missouri. Later, he was director of student personnel services at Illinois Wesleyan Univer- sity in Bloomington. We see a lot of President Dooley in our campus today, as is reflected through many of the buildings which were constructed during his tenure. All of the dorms, the Student Union, Natatorium, Student Services Build- ing, additions to the gymnasium, McKinst:ry Library, and Johnston Fine Arts Building fnow under constructionj came as a result of his leadership. He also instituted several new ideas at Lincoln College, including a more adequate application form and the use of part time teachers, which resulted in the widening scope of the junior college curriculum. President Dooley has always been inter- ested in the students at Lincoln College. He encouraged their reorganization of activities, including greater student voice in campus affairs, and helped to make adjustments for the students' needs and interests. During his long career in education, Presi- dent Dooley has been awarded many honors, too numerous to recite, but among the more prestigious would be: honorary doctor of laws, Steed College, Doctor of Letters, Milliken Universityg Diploma of Honor, Lincoln Memorial University. He is also a member of Theta Alpha Phi and Sigma Chi fraternities, Rotary International, and the Civil War Roundtables of Chicago, New York and Springfield. In addition, Mr. Dooley is a member of the National Lincohi Sesquicentennial Com- mission, the Harvard Club of Chicago, and chairman of the board of trustees of the Illinois State Historical Society. He is founder and chairman of the board of the Lincoln Forum for Constitutional Education, past chairman for the Illinois Committee on Co- operation of the Illinois Conference on Higher Education, and director of the Associated Colleges of Illinois, of which LC is the only active junior college. President Dooley has also brought many famous personalities to our campus to speak and receive honorary degrees, including: Gospel singer Mahalia Jackson, Governor Richard Ogilvie and lieutenant governor Paul Simon, former Govemor Otto Kerner, Secre- tary of Defense Melvin Laird, cartoonist Bill Mauldin, Lord Baden-Power, founder of the Boy Scout movement, and numerous other luminaries. For all these great services and achieve- ments, the staff of the 1971 Lynxite dedicate this yearbook to Raymond Nelson Dooley.
