Faculty Adviser I HENRY G. CORNWELL Upon those who are about to step forth from the academic cloister into a world of uncertainty, tension, and conflicting ideologies, I would bestow these gifts: a curious and questing mind, ever alert to search out the principle underlying the phenomenon; a patient tolerance for the other point of view; and a courageous character that will never knowingly compromise with what one believes to be wrong.

Dean of the Students JAMES BONNER MACRAE To the Members of the Class of 1951: You are going forth from your Alma Mater in a time of world-wide crisis. In this respect your class is not unique. In the ninety-seven years of Lincolns existence, many classes have gone forth into conditions that were extremely difficult and uncertain. Lincoln men have a tradition of acquitting themselves honorably and nobly in crisis situations. You, I am certain, will carry on that tradition. It is probably well to go ahead to plan your future as if there were no uncer- tainties. The knowledge of the future is not given to mortals. Men have always had to adjust and re-adjust to a changing world. If your world changes more rapidly, you must increase the tempo of your adjustment. The ability to adjust is a mark of intel- ligence. The man with a plan is better able to adjust than the one, who because he knows not what tomorrow may bring, leads a planless existence. Nine James Bonner MacRae
