Lincoln University - Lion Yearbook (Lincoln University, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 86 of the 1952 volume:

LINCOLN UNIVERSITY Two PENNSYLVANIA Three Fo R E WO R D--------------------------------------------------------------------------- As we go forth from this 475 acres of beautiful rolling Chester hills, it is only befitting that we take with us some reminder of those past four years that have been so saturated with pleasant memories. And so we of the Lion staff have tried to produce a yearbook that may be looked upon, by all, ten years from now with fond recollections and sadness of heart. With this aim we have constructed an annual in the thought that actions speak louder than words and one picture is worth a thousand words. This world into which we march will be filled with disappointments, struggle, hardships, and evil. But if we, as Lincoln Men, strive hard, using all that these past years have given unto us, we shall rise above all these. Four packed years of Lincoln has taught us, at least, that strength of mind, body, and soul is to be cherished far above riches for: The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap: which neither have storehouse or barn; and God feedeth them: how much more arc ye better than the fowls? And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothe the grass, whis is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. BUT RATHER SEEK YE THE KINGDOM OF GOD; and all these things shall be added unto you.” St. Luke 12:23 31 VINCENT ROI GODWIN Editor 1952 Lion Four GLADIS RENWICK We, the members of the senior class dedicate this year book to Mrs. Gladis Renwick, who is better known as Ma” Renwick to those who have learned to love her. Our choice is based on her devotion to our class throughout our four years at Lincoln. She has trained us in her indirect fashion to appreciate the refectory and its function. She has added to that pretty head of gray hair many strands because of our class's unthoughtfulness, and still loves us as though we were her own. One must remember that her job could easily be a desk job, but she has in her little way, wished to contribute her personal and warm interest to us. It is our wish that the dedication to her of our yearbook will serve to show our sincere appreciation and thus give her strength to continue her guidance of the men of Lincoln who are to return in the following years. ______________________Dedication F ive TABLE OF CONTENTS I UNIVERSITY — — — — 7 Trustees, Officers, Faculty II SEMINARY — — — — 13 Officers, Seniors, Students III COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS 8c SCIENCE 17 Seniors IV CLASSES _____ 49 IV ORGANIZATIONS — — — 51 V ATHLETICS — — — — 65 VI LITERARY AFTERTHOUGHTS — — 73 Six UNIVERSITY Seven OFFICERS AND TRUSTEES OFFICERS OF UNIVERSITY Horace M.

In these modern high-pressure days, Old Prexy, in any institution, is likely to be the very epitome of the friendless soul; battered, beaten, despised and rejected of men. This is only his just deserts; and the fact that you have shown kindly considerateness to the one who rightly is the pariah on every campus, leads me to nominate each and every one of you for mem- bership in the Society for the Alleviation of Cruelty to College Presidents and Other Dumb Animals. With your membership in this exclusive club, goes also a warrant that will admit you to the broadest possible circle of all men and women of kind, gentle, and humane heart, everywhere in the world. In your future careers, I know you will seek,—with infinite tact and long-suffering patience— ... to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God! I can wish no better future for my very best friends—the members of the Lincoln University Class of 1952. May God Bless You, One and All! Sincerely, Horace M. Bond Tyine DEAN of the UNIVERSITY HAROLD F. GRIM WHO KNOWS BUT YOU ARE CHOSEN — 1952! One hears everywhere that we are living in troublous times. One reads daily of the need for men of character, of stout faith and noble courage, for civic, National and International duty in high office. One sees the pictures and write-ups on Lincoln University men, chosen for high positions, some failing, most—thank God—proving equal to the challenge of their lofty trust. One secs in Time and other leading magazines, together with the daily Press, of the confidence placed in Lincoln men like those who are doing such excellent work in solving problems involving human need, and in interpreting to all intelligent and just people the rights and hopes of unfavored populations. This proves, in poignant picture, that Lincoln men can and do exercise their leadership in times such as this. This proves that great things arc expected of new groups of Lincoln men. We are reminded of the Biblical setting with the challenge “Who knows but you are chosen for such a time as this? You have been storing up, we feel sure, confidence; you have been strengthening your faith and courage to meet the problems needing solution in our speeding, but confused, civilization. One feels certain that along with these basic qualities you have received the inspiration so nccssary, from your Alma Mater, from God. One breathes assurance that you will join the vast Lincoln leadership—distributed World-wide out of all proportion to Lincoln's size. One looks to the future to sec and read of your faithful, constructive efforts, doing every assignment nobly. Yes, you arc chosen—1952—for such a time as this. You must not fail—you must not shirk this challenge as the World awaits you with hopeful confidence in your divinely supported power. H. F. Grim Ten To Members of the Graduating Class of 1952 My dear Friends: So you, too, have come to the point of graduation! It must not he a “point of no return” as one national cynic called it. Personally, I have always preferred the word commencement to the word gradu- ation. It seems to suggest the beginning rather than the end, and that is the way I feel you should look upon the events which are about to center around your lives. Winston Churchill phrased a term which might be used here with fitting emphasis. In referring to that point of World War II which marked the initiative for our allies, he said “This is not the beginning of the end, but it is the end of the beginning.” Today I feel similarly about this course of events for you. Your “beginning today does mark the end of childhood, of childish ways and the beginning, I hope, of true manhood with its broadening and gratifying responsibilities as well as attainments. Most of you will make this important “beginning” a normal transition in your lives. Some few may make the change with diffi- culty. They are the men whom I may list as Lincoln's eternal sopho- mores. They will return to the campus in 1992, to rabble. It has been a joy to work with you. Sincerely, J. Newton Hill j- NEWTON HILL DEAN of the COLLEGE and CLASS ADVISOR Eleven FACULTY Samuel M.

MURRAY Seminary Graduates of 1952: You have had the experience of serving your country in a great conflict, and then coming back to college and seminary to train for serving your God. Your days of military service brought you a deep sense of comradeship with those who shared your toil and danger, but you have now entered upon a new comradeship with those who will work shoulder to shoulder with you in building the Kingdom of God. In this conflict of righteousness you will face even more peril and temptation than you ever faced in combat, and in this struggle there is no truce nor armistice. You must arm yourselves with an absolue faith in your Leader, and look to Him for guidance and for strength. Those who have gone before you salute you and assure you that your cause can never be lost or stayed. Your comrades here at Lincoln pledge to you their unfailing interest and prayers. May the Lord be with you as you take your stand for Him. Fourteen RUDOLPH F.

MacRAE Class of 1952 It has been said that one of the marks of an educated man is, “He cross examines his day dreams.” It is probably true that no man succeeds beyond his dreams, but it is also patent that one’s dreams must not be beyond the realm of the possibility of achievement. Day dreams may be the misty, muddled meditations of a meandering mind or through the discipline achieved by the cross examining process that may become the intuitive intellectual instances of an integrative imagination. The psychiatrists have warned us that day dreaming which is idle fancy is the sort of flight from reality which is to be avoided but flights of the imagination which extend the flying ceiling to its utmost yet soar within the realms of probability of achievement are to be encouraged. Your training and experience here at Lincoln has probably provided you with the kind of imaginative intellect which broadens your horizon of your possibilities of becoming. It is my wish for you that you will not be satisfied with one whit less than your fondest dreams indicate that you may become. ”If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; . . . ” James Bonner MacRae Eighteen OFFICERS Pictured below are the men who have, to the best of their ability, tried to lessen the burden of the senior class.

May they hold high the traditions that we have tried to give rebirth, and may they enrich those that we leave behind. It is in these hands that we leave thy heritage Oh Lincoln, may they have the strength to succeed where we have failed. SOPHOMORE CLASS—1954 Where Oh where arc the simple Soph- omores? Why they've gone out from Joe Hill's english safe now in the Junior class. May this Pi class act nobley as they pass through Lincoln's halls in the shadow of their former descendants of the house of David. For theirs is to be the honor, not only of being seniors of the Pi line, but graduates during Lincoln's hundredth anni- versary year as well. FRESHMAN CLASS—1955 These Virgin Freshmen are many but they have a long way to go. And, as in our enormous class of yesterday, some of them will fall by the wayside for various reasons. But those that remain will be enriched by their experiences on this campus. And they shall soby leave her nourishing breats as men—Lincoln Men. Fifty Organizations Fifty'one 1952 LION STAFF It is to these men that we owe the publication of this year's Lion. There is much that can he said concerning their efforts; hut in keeping with their motto, “actions speak louder than words, they would rather let this picture speak of their worth. One member of this group who remains camera shy, John Jordan, is to he thanked too for his aid in helping make this yearbook a success.

Fifty'two STUDENT SENATE WHO’S WHO IN AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES Fifty'three THE LINCOLNIAN VARSITY CLUB Fifty'four The tradition of drama at Lincoln has endured through the years withstanding the ups and down that are encountered in a small school like Lincoln and emerged this year in a new and inspired role, that of providing favorable publicity for Lincoln University through the eastern seaboard. For this year has brought the realization to our campus that we should not confine our talent to the immediate area. This year the Lincoln University Players presented “John Loves Mary.” Staged and produced by Abram Hill, director of dramatics, the production sparkled for three successive nights on campus to a capacity house. The M.G.M. film star. Ruby Dee turned in an excellent performance in the lead role on campus and quite captivated the audience, both female as well as male. Miss Arden Hill, daughted of Dean and Mrs. J. Newton Hill, carried excellently the role of Mary for the road tour. The “Players” also came through with a memorial production of the Hasty Heart this year, and of course we all remember Leftwich, Hill, Woolford, and Giles in “Home of the Brave in '48. to say nothing of Gloria Daniels and Sarkins in “Golden Boy” in 49, or “Julius Caesar” on the Round, arena style with Haynes, Ballot, and Warden in '51. To add to their glory they are starting a summer stock theatre beginning this summer at Lincoln. Fifty'five AFRICAN STUDENTS ASSOCIATION The YMCA was founded eighty years ago on Lincoln's campus in order to facilitate, promote, and maintain the true ideals of the Young Men's Christian Association, through the development of the body, mind, and spirit of each student. The Cabinet is the working body of the organisation. Through it contact is made and maintained with student Christian Associations on other college campuses. Locally, the Cabinet sponsors cultural programs for the students, sends representatives to conferences all over the country, and sponsors religious programs. A special project of the Cabinet every year is to help the incoming Freshmen adjust to college life, and overcome many of the problems which face them. The officers of the Cabinet for the year '51 '52 were: President....................................Gerald J. Lewis Vice-President..........................................John Jordan Secretary.............................................Walter Webb Treasurer....................................Joseph Daniels Chaplain.......................................Herman Graham AFRICAN STUDENTS ASSOCIATION On January 10, 1950, the African students of Lincoln University, Pa. gave birth to the African Students Association. It was not meant to be a sectarian organization, and that same idea holds true today. At the inception of the Association, our activities like any other organization in its embryonic stage were quiet and subtle. The school year 1949'50 rolled away, and most of our activities were carried on outside the campus. We spoke to various organizations in Philadelphia, Reading, and Wilmington, and participated in group discussions at the Fellowship House and at the International House in Philadelphia. In the fall of 1950, under the leadership of Mr. Awa, our first president, the University recognized the Association, and we were entitled to a repre- sentation in ihe Student Senate. The African Con- ference in 1950 was very symbolic of our striving, not only because of the inauguration of the African Institute; but also the mutual relations which have engulfed our Association with the whole student body. Fifty-six -v. I GLEE CLUB GLEE CLUB This year will mark the end for such “bulwarks of the Glee Club as O'hara Arche, Walter Chambers, Harvey Allen, Herbert Rodvill, Melvin Butler, and Roland Jones. In 1948-49 The Glee Club, under the direction of Henry J. Booker, now professor of music at Dillard, made a successful western tour which included such places as Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Ohio, Chicago, Detroit, Canada, and West Virginia. Then in 1949'50, still under the capable hands of Henry Booker it reached its height in numerous television and radio appearances. Boston, New York, Rochester, and Buffalo saw the Lincoln Song Birds that year whose notable achievements in their singing at Boston College Chapel and Niagara Falls are still being echoed throughout the country. In 1950-51 the Glee Club was reorganized under Orrin Clayton Surthern, who replaced Booker and was confined to local engagements in the New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania area and a few broadcasts for the United Negro College Fund Drive. One again under the leadership of Orrin Clayton Surthern II, in 1951-52, the L.U.G.C. began another year in which they hoped to expand their activi- ties over a longer period of time and cover more territory. Noteworthy among this semester's accomplishments were the performance of the Christmas Section of Handel's Messiah in conjunction with the Community Singers and Outside Artists and a private recording at the fab- ulous residence of Mr. Raymond Pitcairn at the Glencairn estate which defies description. All this together with the Mothers Day Concert has made this an exciting year for the Glee Club. SCIENCE CLUB Wc live in an age of science—an age that has witnessed one of the greatest upheavals in human history, the release of the atomic bomb, and the application of atomic energy to industry. With the dawn of each nev- day the Eossibilitics of science continually unfold and science is rought nearer and nearer to the people. In recognition of this tremendous fact the Science Club came into being. The purpose of the Science Club is to foster science and its related study of Psychology by discovering new talent and bringing to light those potential philanthropists that otherwise would have been lost and entirely forgotten, and whose creative energy has kept the spirit of objective enquiry on the march. We endeavor in every way possible to relate our classroom experience to the practical problems of everyday life. Our practical activities this school year included a visit to the historic Franklin Institute in Phila- delphia, during which wc saw thousands of exhibits in physics and chemistry, most of which can be operated automatically. We also attended a demonstration at the Fcls Planetarium, where wc witnessed reproductions of the skies with planetary motions. The Science Club marches on in the belief that training in science is a concrete implementation up to a far reaching extent, of one of the chief moral values of life—the value called Truth.

Also the first of the fraternities here at dear old Lincoln started back in 1912. “SCHOLARSHIP MANLY DEEDS In the years past Alpha men have strived to maintain these principles. As we say goodbye to another group of them we know that they will also go forth and continue to uphold these traditions and precepts. “AND LOVE FOR ALL MANKIND To further these and the many other high stan' dards of Alpha and to honor those who have made notable contributions to mankind Alpha has a Medallion Award, given annually to an outstanding humanitarian. “COLLEGE DAYS SWIFTLY PAST IMBUED WITH MEMORIES FOND The last year has given us memories of the Pan' Hellenic Ball, our Intra-mural Sports Teams and many other events. And of course those good old smokers with the brothers which have united us all in the true spirit of brotherhood. So we shall go on striving as our motto to be First of all—Servants of all—Transcending all. “ALPHA PHI ALPHA THE PRIDE OF OUR HEARTS Alpha Phi Alpha SPHINX CLUB Sixty BETA SIGMA TAU The end of World War II brought about the tradi' tional influx of students to American colleges and uni' versities. Many veterans and others who had shared the experience of men of all nationalities, races and religions living, working, and dying together, decided that all people can live and work together. They met, with thirteen interested groups representing colleges and uni' versities throughout the country, at Roosevelt College in Ohio on the 30th of April, 1948. This was the begin- ning of a new, interracial, intercultural and intercollegiate fraternity to be called Beta Sigma Tau. To be sure many of us here at Lincoln felt as did our founding fathers. They combined their efforts and founded a chapter of this infant fraternity here at Lincoln in April of 1949, dedicating themselves to its ideals and pledging their all to its furtherance. It has been our desire to nourish and assist in the actual growth of our young fraternity. It is toward this end that we have given of ourselves. After three years of existance as local chapter we find ourselves still grow- ing with increasing faith in our motto, Equality, Under- standing, and Unity. BETA SIGMA TAU Sixty-one KAPPA ALPHA PSI Kappa Alpha Psi was founded some forty years ago on the campus of the University of Indiana as Kappa Alpha Nu. A few years hence its name was changed to Kappa Alpha Psi. It is one of the older Negro fraternities which too has become interracial in the last few years. Epsilon Chapter has been functioning on Lincoln's campus since 1914. And has been striving as does the fraternity to obtain for its members all the benefits which accrue from participation in a modern college brotherhood. The fundamental purpose of Kappa Alpha Psi is Achievement. Some highlights of Epsilon's' achievement program these past years were our Annual Freshman Oratorical Contest, a gala Fresh' man Smoker, Guide Right Week and a Kappa Karnival Week-end on Campus. “O Noble Kappa Alpha Psi the pride of all our Hearts, True manliness, fidelity, thou ever dost impart. The source of our delights and joys and happiness thou art, O Noble Kappa Alpha Psi from thee we’ll ne'er part” Kappa Alpha Psi SCROLLER CLUB Sixty two 1 PLEDGEE CLUB PHI BETA SIGMA MU CHAPTER Founded on the principles of “Culture for Service —Service for Humanity —the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity was chartered on the campus of Howard University, Washington, D. C. in the year 1914. Mu Chapter was founded on our campus in May, 1922. The programs promoted by the Fraternity are “Bigger and Better Business Social Action, and the study of foreign affairs. In 1922 the Fraternity was instrumental in initiating Inter-Fraternal rela- tions on a national scale. Mu Chapter for the past four years, in addition to its regular Fraternal pro- gram sponsored the annual Sigma Day Concert composed of young artists. Sigma has participated in the reorganized Pan- Hellenic Counsel on Fraternal affairs as well as, the gala Pan-Hellenic week-end socials. In retrospect, Mu chapter in chorus with our founders of old say, “Our cause speeds on its way. Sixty'three OMEGA PSI PHI The worth of Omega Psi Phi can be summed up in the words of Grant Reynolds, Grand Basileus of the fraternity, as he states: “It is estimated, that in the forty-year history of Omega its ideals have attracted nearly 17,000 men. Coming from all parts of the nation, these men consider it a great honor and a rare privilege to wear Omega's emblem of brotherhood.” The fraternity founded on the avowed principles of Scholarship, Manhood, Perseverance and Uplift in 1911. Its second chapter. Beta, has done its utmost to further these principles at Lincoln University. Boasting of eleven graduating seniors in the class of '52, Beta is presently holding forth with a membership of thirty-seven brothers. Looking forward to an even more successful future on this campus we of Beta ask that you of the graduating class remember always that “Friendship is God’s gift to Lincoln and brotherhood means true salvation.

As a freshman, he was awkward, hut by his junior year “Cookie” was on the ball, basket, and every CIAA keyman's mind. Long Boh Smith could always he counted upon to play a beautiful game. His corner shot caused many challenging teams to fall to pieces, and lists him as one of the Lions most important hoopsters. Cool Conrad Gaskins improved tremendously during his stay at Lincoln. “Fingers” would have helped us cage a championship had the Marines not fowled him first. Calculating Lloyd Thornhill was one of the Lions best captains. With his “Baby Steps” he maintained dominancy over the opponents floor defenses. Pictured on the opening page is our own Fighting Deurward Hughes who’s drive and spunk as forward gave many gray hairs to those offensive ball carriers. “Dcurdy” was always in there a-rushing and a-howling. The basketball picture was not so rosy. With only 3 lettermen returning, and a host of gifted freshmen, the Lion basketball season showed the signs concomitant of a rebuilding year. The difficulty of molding inexperienced freshmen and integrating them with one or two returning varsity men into a smooth operating quintet was obvious as the season's record indicated 7 won and 14 lost for a overall record and 4 won and 9 lost for a conference record.

While half the team rested for the weekend with Howard, Morgan, and North Carolina, the remaining squad walked away from Delaware's team by fifty-one points. Moving into a second place in Howard University's quadrangle meet, the Lincoln speedsters fought on to place third in the C.I.A.A. Champion- ships the following weekend at Morgan. During this meet Teddy Ellis broke the long standing high jump record of 6'4”, made by another Lincoln Lion in 1939, with a jump of 6'6J T. The rabble meet held at Lincoln proved that if more of Lincoln's athletes would come back to the conders the C.I.A.A. will sec a team next year that will indeed give Morgan's Hurt a few gray hairs.

Yes! Why not! All nature in symphonic concert is beckoning me onward, onward. Above me, the sky is a ceiling of delicate blue; tall trees in stately majesty tower and spread in verdant grandeur. I linger momcn- tarily, keenly sensitive to the cathedral-like silence, disturbed only by the soft zephyrs bearing perfumed air and the sound of chirping birds. Here is an empire, challenging a would-be conquercr. Suddenly, with every possible degree of violence, a fearful horde of marauders, out of nowhere, descends upon this cringing prey, ever bent on destruction. — RECEPTION COMMITTEE. It's demands were herculean tasks .unheard of, even mad—wash windows; clean pads; wake me at 4:00 A.M.; run to the village; .lift this, tote that—ad infinitum. Whew!! At last, the Orientation by Dean Frank Wilson, who spoke the English Language with the brilliance of the old-line scholars. Having obtained the founts of knowledge—text- books, our entry to class was secure. The classroom was the scene of a titanic engage' ment, where a few of our number withstood its rigors; while others fell by the wayside. Some sought the philosopher's stone to turn base metals of learning into gold; while others were content with their lot. Time marched on, grass grew green and finals, like the will o' the wisp, lay in wait. We had prepared ourselves well, for this would be the struggle of struggles. During this seige, our every waking moment envisioned the happy, but ephe- meral days of summer. GAY YOUNG SOPHOMORES Back to the old grind, more determined and foolishly wise, we set about our tasks with renewed vigor, confident of our study methods, zestful in pursuing our chosen sport and ever hopeful of penetrating the hallowed walls of Greckdom.— Which course should I pursue?—Will I succeed? —Can I succeed?—Time alone will tell. STATELY JUNIORS Out of experience, suddenly came profound understanding now, conquering veterans, we turn somewhat from ardent study in order to more fully enjoy the great traditions of Lincoln University. Without reservation, our curiosity strains itself to no end—Parties, dances, fabulous weekends, con- tests, Penn Relays, et al. GRAVE OLD SENIORS An Honor, a Coveted Prize—A SENIOR. Yet a prize, on one hand devoutly to wished and on the other, a great responsibility. Like fresh, undisciplined youth, time raced on toward the zero hour, mocking us, driving us to swift completion of our appointed tasks. In overwhelming victories, Harvey Allen was elected President of Student Senate, James McCoy President of the Senior Class;—Oscar Sistrunk, Vice-President; Ngwobia Uka, Secretary; and Walter Webb, Treasurer, our class officers par excellence. In an attempt to recapture the Freshman Frolic, Tilton Brinkley directed the Senior Scandals which has produced hilarious overtones. Miss Senior Class was crowned in traditional Lincoln splendour at the Class Penn Relay Dance, adding a note of grace and charm. The Spring Formats were gala affairs, which pleasantly alleviated the burdens of heated studies. The Senior Class climaxed its spring festivities with a Mother's Day program, which wc hope will become an enduring tradition. And Lo! Comprehensives and finals were upon us like an onrushing tide, challenging us to achieve our ever-mindful goal. For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; ... Our only hope is that the Senior Class of 52 is one of the finest Lincoln has ever had. “But rather see ye the ingdom of God; and all these things shall he added unto you.” Luke 12:51 By Calvin L. Hackney and Robert Henry Seventy'Six LAST WILL and TESTAMENT We, the noble de- scendants of David, having resided on these traditional grounds for four rabbling years and having accumulated such a vast amount of superior knowledge concerning the needs of those betwixt the lofty towers and the beckon- ing arch, find it neces- sary and proper that we impart some of these pearls of wisdom to the Seniors of '53, that they might ad' minister them in our absence; we hereby do make the following bequests.
