2 LINCOLN NEWS INAUGURATION PROCESSION. OCTOBER. 1927 Jforctoorb I WAS conceived in doubt just three years ago. They called me The Lincoln News. At my birth, my doom was foretold—I was given just three months to live. But now 1 celebrate my third birthday. I wanted to celebrate it by honoring the senior class, but they, two officials of the faculty, threw mud at me saying that I was not worthy. And yet I live and am growing stronger. I know that I was puny, subject to extinction, but I lived in hope of a better day. 1 have a few friends who helped me—two seniors who saw possibilities of curing me, of giving me freedom, and I am thankful that I have been nursed to be stronger. But now I am beginning to think for myself. I know why some hate me, wish me total extinction. They fear that I may grow strong and unruly— that 1 may defy them like an incor- rigible child. But I am not bad—I have my faults, but I could be worse. Yes, they are afraid of me, afraid of my influence. It is through such media as I that seven stu- dent editors were asked to resign their positions because they dared to express themselves. No wonder that they refuse me succor when I am in need. I thought students were sent to Col- lege to think and not what to think. They have branded me because 1 have forsakencd the old and now believe in new things,—the practical and broad things. And though they think I should die, I shall live. I shall be the medium for pent- up expressions, for true facts, for the endless stretch of life between the pathetic and humor- ous. Though I was conceived in doubt, I still live.
