The PAW 1923 Dedicated to Walter L. Wright, M. A. Professor of Mathematics Who, during these thirty years, in spite of increased responsi- bilities and flattering inducements has stuck to good old Lincoln. He planted his young manhood in the soil of Negro Education and now in the prime of his life the class of ’23 offers him the assurance of a splendid fruitage in the dignity and usefulness of their lives in the world to which they go. We bid you adieu. Your splendid life shall be enshrined in the valleys and on the hilltops of our lives. Fare thee well. Page Three

The PAW 1923 Foreword We tlo not claim to be the best: no, let impartial critics praise or blame. Let the editing of the University’s first magazine; the first Junior Prom, where pretty girls from the garden of Kthiopia, blossomed and poured forth their fragrance ;■ our brilliant scholarship, which, partly, caused the Middle Atlantic States Association of Colleges to place our Alma Mater on the list of Accredited Colleges, ranking us with Vale, Har- vard, Columbia, etc.; our splendid moral plane; let all these attest to the virility of '23, the defendants of the Royal Line of David. Nor with noisome trumpets do we blazen this forth; we simply present the facts. Virile as the stalwart Maples that grace our Campus, strong as the sacred stones made glorious by tradition; with minds trained as we sat under learned masters; with hearts attuned to the problems, injustices and sufferings of an imperfect humanity; effervescing with the youthful joy and enthusiasm of living, responsive to a seriousness of purpose, we go. Happiest of all days have been those in which we lingered midst the scenes and influences of the Lincoln Spirit. The association with schoolmates, faculty and Alumni will forever linger in the garden of memories. Now that our journey here is finished, we set forth the results of the glorious race in this book. We leave the sacred traditions, glories and honors of dear old Lincoln in the keeping of ‘24. Tell Kthiopia—tell humanity, that 23 is ready to serve. I % ROM the “Canine to the Divine” have the stalwart sons of the Royal Line of David evolved. To say that ’23 is one of the best products of our Alma Mater is but heaping on her the glory, fame and honor that she has worthily won. Patjf Two I
