� n l n THE LI (I i H. A. B. JONES-QUARTEY, Editor Published by THE SENIOR CLASS LINCOLN UNIVERSITY ! piNjjwtywrivV R E W O R F O FOUR years ago when we first entered college, all was quiet on the American front. There was war in Asia, and rumors of wars in Europe; but America was not concerned with foreign wars, and so we went merrily on our isolationist way, intensely occupied in making money, enjoying ourselves, and traveling in circles from nowhere to nowhere -but fast! • By the time we were beginning our final year, however, actual war had come to the whole of Europe and the Orient, and was daily assuming the character and the proportions of a truly described Second World War. Just six months ago, in spite of our vociferous isolationists and optimists, we found ourselves suddenly, unexpectedly, shockingly all in on the war and all out for national defense, our confidence in a spontaneously generated security tragically and irrevocably shattered at Pearl Harbor. Nevertheless, we of the Class of '42, the first War Class of the second World War, leave Lincoln finally in high hope and unyielding optimism, believing implicitly in the destined victory of Right over mere Might, and in a Day- of-Justice to come for all men in every land. We refuse to give up hope of a future world-readjustment based upon common humanity, well knowing that the moment men lose hope entirely, from that very moment they cease to live and begin merely to exist. Proud morning strength Falling like Dead evening grass Before the Whistling scythe. And leaving behind A stooping grief An aching void And tears unshed —J-O. ROBERT E. FORBES DEDICATION TO THE memory of our dear and late fellow class-member, Robert E. Forbes, this edition of the Lincoln LION is lov- ingly dedicated. Bobbie Forbes was an outstanding member of his class, immensely popular with all who knew him. His untimely death cut short a promising Lincoln Man -career, and left a void in the hearts of his family and friends. His brief span, however, was not altogether without achievement, for he won his spurs gallantly on the battlefield of life, and left with us a grand example of radiant living. • • Seated—Williams, Wood.

Facing a world that no sensitive nature can regard without a shudder, no one will be surprised if you seem to lack enthusiasm. For all of us, but perhaps especially for the young, every day heightens the sensation that we are being rolled into the surf of a wild ocean. Banners of hatred have been unfurled throughout the earth; and for many of you about all there is left of what once was called a philosophy of life is the bitter surmise of one of your own generation: Love is no more, and justice is a lie; Life is a cheat - and we go forth to die! Against such an outlook it is difficult to maintain that life need not be thin and fruitless. And yet it should be plain to the thoughtful, even in 1942, that no man can make a career of disillusionment. Adams tried it and failed. The trouble with trying to build on the firm foundations of unyielding despair is that despair has no foundations. Avoid snap judgments, both of human nature and of history; and as the years pass, struggle—it will often be a struggle--to broaden your views of life, of man, of God. Blessings on you always and always! Gratefully yours, 14 Shelby Rooks. FACULTY Walter L. Wright. LL. D. A. B. and A. M.. Princeton Dean George Johnson A. B. and Ph.

RECOMPENSE 'Tis morn . . . sweet nature's life's aroused. And dreams come floating, too: Enchanting like the charmer's flute For pleasures we pursue. Awake! Let phantasy away. There's work that must be done: Achieving ends . . . rewards to gain. Ere parting of the sun. Then dusk—oh gentle dusk, Whose padded feet enthrall— Shall sweetly open up her cloak, And quickly cover all. —H. T. M. Lo! Time-that-was is an infinite Recession that rolls and folds— that folds as it rolls, till distance makes Unity out of Time and Space; till Time and Space in union form Cosmos, and sight and sense reach hopelessly out— . . . to be overwhelmed by sheer Infinitude. Time-that-was is lost to mortal man, save in his own laborious works, or as a state of mind which names It good or ill . . . yet hangs deluded man his hopes upon this futile Past-and-Gcne; forgetful quite! that once-cheated Fate will not return to salve, much less to save. —J-Q. ALMA MATER FINIS Unseen, near-silent, the wind's a heady hymn; The far horizon of dying day Lends dusk a deathly quiet: Close the Cosmos hovers in the dim, And clouds loom large on Oxford's rim: A soothing, mystic virelay Lulls waking cares Tempts transient joy . . . In gentle twilight, Springtime Hope Lures a gentle dream: A four-year sunset casts a shadow Of the morrow's dawn. TO THE MEN OF ’42 Four unforgotten years are gone— Passed, like an infant's dream; Nov soon we face a cold new dawn Face war and steel-points' gleam. Soon Maple Avenue's shaded walk Will know a younger tread; New pathways now may s eus stalk Where War and Death are wed. The happy throng of Glee Club guests, The dances and the games, Are left behind for bolder quests - For honored heroes' names. So, would-be men and leaders all: Along Life's road keep on; And should you hear pressed Freedom's call. Pitch in and fight. Don't run! 17 B. McM. W. B. McM. W. CARLYLE ALFORD. JR. Delair, N. J.

September 10, 1968 My dear Son: On the eve of your departure for Lincoln University to take up a new life as student and as a builder for the future, I want to give you, for the first time, a brief history of my Class, II - N the War Class of '42—that through it you may establish your complete identity with me, and so take up the job where I left it off, like a true chip of the old block. Almost exactly 30 years ago to the day, that is, on September 21,1938, Lincoln opened its doors to receive its largest Freshman Class since the first World War. I was 150 green- horns strong, and came from fifteen States, the Virgin Islands, and distant Africa. • Socially and politically, my college advent marked the beginnings of a new world-revo- lution, and I stayed long enough in college to see it take its first form: that of the most horrendous and the most widespread war that ever man fouqht aqainst himself. At first we in America were not concerned with foreign wars raging far away from our shores ; and so, many of our leaders in- doctrinated us with an earlier and equally futile theory of splendid isolationism. You see, we were a Democracy, we were rich, we believed in peace; so our good idealists kept our country, for years, away from harm and danger. Thus I felt, in college, free to pursue, and to be pursued by, pranks involving dogs (or preps -the class into which you, too, will soon fall). Sophomore wise fools, no- ble Juniors, and mighty Seniors —all of them so-called, of course! Throughout my four years at Lincoln, I managed to keep up, in general, this spirit, and, in spite of tremendous happenings outside, I saw the old institution carry on in some of the old ways, while at the same time I helped install new and improved processes. I saw student democracy expand in my third year; hazing cut down from the Dean's office; corrupt, petty fraternity politics re- duced almost to zero; new walks laid out all over the campus; Professor J. Newton Hill raised to the Deanship of the College; and Dr. J. Leroy Williams gain recognition as a rising young biologist. But outside, meanwhile, were happening the events which created the revolution of which I spoke above. France and England went to war with Germany in September, 1939, because the tension between the rival ideolo- gies of Democracy and Totalitarianism had at last snapped. In June, 1940, la belle France fell before Adolph Hitler, to the heartbreak of the rest of the entire world; but the British, muddling and heroic as ever under their mod- ern Colossus, Winston Churchill, managed to stave off Hitler until, in December, 1941, America was inevitably drawn into the con- llict through the aggressive action of Japan (a partner of Germany and Italy) at Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941. Thus I left college in May, 1942, with the whole world bathed in blood, sweat, and tears to use the same Churchill's cele- brated phrase—and with America and Democ- racy in deadliest peril. Some of us joined the armed forces, in spite of the disadvantageous position of our people - and of these a num- ber perished; but others have lived to tell the tale. Such, my son, is the abbreviated mosaic of the college days of the Class of If 2 N. Time presses and I cannot tell you more. But this last word I must give you as you go: If in the four promising years that lie ahead, you will make it your duty to gain a respectable amount of knowledge; to train for leadership by participation in worthwhile activities; and to form just one or two friendships of lasting value; then, my boy, you would have taken up where I left off and proved yourself a true chip off the old block.

ELECTED by the student body, the council has as its definite function the stimulation of faculty-student cooperation in the government of campus life. It is generally recognized as the organ through which the opinions of either students or faculty may be passed on from one to the other, for the purpose of maintaining at Lincoln the true meaning of student self-government. The six men pictured above represent only a fraction of the regular membership of this group, most of the other men being absent from the scene, on duty-it was widely hoped-as custodians of the campus peace and wardens of discipline among Lincoln's notorius race of super-HE-men! 48 AMERICAN STUDENTS’ WHO’S WHO Seated—Roberts, Stokes, J.

Standing—Wood, Chase, Berm, Neely, Shockley, Jones-Quartey. )- FOR eight years now a Southern publishing company has produced a “Who's Who Among Students in American Universi ties and Colleges, intended both as a recognition of merit in these students, and as a way of bringing them to the attention of prospective employers throughout the country. The above group, elected by action of the Dean of Men and student consultants, is composed entirely of seniors this year, and appears for the first time in an issue of the LION. Social service, the Ministry, the Professions, and Education are all represented in the declared ambitions of these men, for whom THE 1942 LION wishes equal opportunity in a tragically unequal world. 49 Y.

Their annual program usually includes forums, candlelight services, game tournaments, inter- collegiate conferences, and intramural sports. Recently, propelled mainly by the efforts of Malcolm Roberts, the Y. M. C. A. has realized an age-old dream, the construction of a cabin retreat, Fellowship Lodge. THE LINCOLN UNIVERSITY FORUM 1J1HE Lincoln University Forum, an organiza- tion which presents outstanding speakers, has been resurrected from the near-dead and is undergoing a renaissance under the able directorship of its originator, Professor John A. Davis, who has recently returned to our campus. 50 THE SCIENCE CLUB JP STABLISHED in March, 1940, by Beta Kappa Chi, the Science Club is open to all science majors. Its chief aim is to create greater interest in the sciences and to raise the scholastic average of those men pursuing a scientific career. PHILOSOPHY CLUB J EAN George Johnson, of the Department of Philosophy ard Logic, has resolutely kept this club going through the years, in spite of every stress and strain outside of his classroom, where he teaches the boys; and his home, where he entertains them and listens indulgently to their long-winded dec- lamations on Karl Marx and Plato’s “Re- public.” SCIENCE CLUB Seated—Whitehead (Sec.), Frazier, Glover (Treas.), Bore- field (Pres.), Gordon, Hill.

Their duties included correcting of papers, the occasional instructing of a class, as well as leading of freshmen in the required course of Physical Education. THE DELTA RHO FORENSIC ■JIHE war has stepped in again, this time to clip the wings of our usually capable debaters, whose engagements with other schools have been reduced almost to the vanishing point this year.

Eliots' Murder in the Cathedral, a vehicle for the display of magnificent histrionic ability on the part of Gayraud S.

At the time of going to press, he and his executive officers were considering plans to sing in Atlantic City, Westfield, Orange, and at other points North and South, while a big week-end engagement in New York City in April had already been contracted. BETA KAPPA CHI lOMPOSED of upperclassmen who have maintained an average of 1.8 in 30 hours of natural science, and a general third group cumulative average in all other subjects, this group represents the ablest science majors in the University.

THE “LINCOLNIAN” mHE present war-psychosis, which has affected the smooth-working of all kinds of institutions and organizations everywhere, seems to have hit our college newspaper hardest of all this year. At the time of going to press, the student body was still hoping for a change in the Lincolnian's state of sus- pended animation. This hope later mater- ialized. THE LIBRARY J TOTHING on the campus of Lincoln University is more subject to change than the Library staff, but with the executive officers—Dr. Grubb, Mrs. Dorsey, and Mrs. Williams -as the constants, the Library is nevertheless filling its all-important place in the life of the college. 55 W'lTH commendable effort to stand true to its cardinal principles: the promotion of scholarship, the promotion of Christian character, and obedience to the laws of the Land, Nu Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity has progressed throughout our college career by having actively engaged in educational, scholastic, and social programs.

THE PITTSBURGH CLUB IJ1HE Pittsburgh Club has come into ex- istence as a direct result of the increasing number of students who have come to Lincoln from the Smoky City. This newly developed club of youthful coal miners meets to create better social and scholastic interest among themselves and to promote fellowship with the campus at large. THE UNIVERSITY CANTEEN 1JIH1S is where one-third of the Lincoln student body disports itself- where all the wealth of Lincoln men is finally and fatally invested! Here the juke-box holds blaring sway, and pepsi-cola flows like Champagne in the Crazy 'Twenties. The management, under Mrs. A. Patterson, is good; spirits are high; and elbow-room is non-est! 61 THE REP 5HEII iN FORM MEMO'S 0 23 SPORTS FOOTBALL THE past year was ushered in with a dismal outlook facing the stal- warts of football. The former star-studded roster had been riddled by the talons of the present emergency, yet a more determined group of men has never borne the orange and blue with such courage. The record, unfortunately, will not bear out this assertion, for they were defeated in five encounters and won only three. The severe trouncing administered to our arch rival, Howard University, helped however to soothe the. anguish of our former setbacks. Fighting against innumerable odds during the season, this plucky group of lads surpassed the majority of its opposition in ground yielded, but failed to convert many of their sustained drives into final scores. Thus fortune played havoc with the destiny of the 1942 edition of Lion gridiron stalwarts. No football review would be complete without the mention of Captain Milton Pearcy ('42). stellar line man, and the thrilling play of Wild Bill Hunter ('43), in the backfield. These and other stars formed the nucleus of the smooth-working though hapless Rivero-Holland combination. Such is the brief history of the Lincoln University football team, of the '41-42 season, a story which seems to augur well for next year, provided, of course, the war does not shut up shop altogether for the C. I. A. A. 64 Top: Lincoln bows to Morgan, 14-0; Shaw beats Lincoln, 15 13. Middle: Four Senior stalwarts—Bruce Wright, Cap'n Pearcy, Someiille, and Beverly. Bottom: Benny King; Howard Versus Lincoln in Philadelphia. When the Lions whippsd the Bisons at Shibe Park, Phila.—24 0. Courtesy of the Jirtuiug Hulleliu Johnson Usry Wareham Young BASKETBALL THE basketball team, unlike our other sports squads, entered the hardwood arena with a roster that forebode evil for all with whom it came into contact. Intricate floorwork plus the will to win, evidenced throughout by our old hardwood representatives, transformed the 1942 quintet into whirling dervishes. Playing against the cream of the C. I. A. A., they were vic- torious in thirteen starts, losing to Morgan in two encounters. The two contests dropped in favor of Morgan were lost by only one point each, while the Lions were able to gain revenge on the Morgan Five in a third contest. Fans at Lincoln and elsewhere will always remember the skilful floor- work of Co-captain Ernie ( Deke ) Young, Lincoln's elongated center, and Co-captain Alton Wareham, as they combined with ’’Wild Bill Hunter to become the most-feared trio in recent C. I. A. A. annals. These men formed the life-center of a great team, which closed its “TWO for Lincoln 1_____________________________________________________________________ season's campaign with an enviable record, having beaten such powerful fives like Union and Johnson C. Smith. Unfortunately, the curtailment of rubber in the national effort, forced this combination to end their victory march much sooner than planned.

Back row—Somerville, Johnson, Montier, MacLeon. BOXING AND WRESTLING WITH Coaches Manny Rivero and Jerome Brud Holland still in general charge, and ace-athlete Benny King directly responsible for whipping our matmen into shape this year. Lincoln's wrestlers had already turned in a fine record against: First, Virginia State, then Hampton Institute, and finally the Wissahickon Boys' Club, before THE LION took leave of them for the printers, in March. The same general remarks apply to the boxing team, which, coached by “Brud and his assistant, Charlie Riley ('43), shared honors equally with the pitch-and-tossers in the Orange and Blue successes against Vir- ginia State and Hampton. In the first meet of the season in February, the Lions defeated Vir- ginia State in a joint boxing and wrestling contest, winning all but one event. At this meet sizzling performances were turned in by Riley, Mc- Leon, and Holland, for the boxers, while Geechee Knight was at his crushing best among the wrestlers. Next, the Orange and Blue took on Hampton in what turned out to be as closely contested a meet as could be imagined, the result being six matches to five in favor of Lincoln. 68 Front row—Hall, Booker, Leon, Fabiyi, Davidson, Young. Second row—Phillips, J. Williams, Harder, P. Williams, Copeland. Third row—Stewart, Neely, Thomas, Wilson. Fourth row—White, Willis, Allen, Bryant. Fifth row—Jenkins, Hall, Browne, Doggett. TRACK AND FIELD BOASTING a nucleus composed of five C. I. A. A. champions, the 1942 edition of Lincoln's track team was just taking to the open as we went to press—too early, this year, to have recorded their prowess and achievements. The pre-spring days found such stellar performers getting into shape for their current championship campaigns as Roscoe Browne, mile king and quarter-mile sensation; John Doggett, lithe hurdle runner-up; “Dick'' Harder, well-muscled pole-vault titlist; Milt Pearcy, 1938-40 shot-put ruler; and finally Juan-Luyanda, greatest all-around competitor in C. I. A. A. history, who is also Pan-American high jump champion as well as C. I.- A. A. titleholder. Encouraged also by the return of veteran sprinters C. F. Thomas and Paul Williams, and half-miler Albert Neely, Coach Still was hoping, with the promising material found among the lower classes, to enjoy a success- ful spring season. 69 Who’s Who innSN Mr. Lincoln JOHN NELSON DOGGETT Most Brilliant J.
