1  nineteen hundred Lloyd S. Higgs Editor-m-Chiei N Published by the Senior Class of Lincoln University Lincoln University, Pennsylvania. fifty three • ;•••••• • • • L L75C, i Leaving this institution which has grown dear to us, we, the class of '53 are confident that we have spent here four worthy years, four of the best years of ouj lives. We have moulded our lives and minds to fit the pattern laid down for us by the great educators of the past. Therefore in seeking other success, we expect to be definite assets to our communities and to our countries. This yearbook mirrors true experience, puts into print what we have accomplished, and tells of our aspirations. With the help of the entire campus community, we of the Lion Staff have sought to produce a yearbook rich in the traditions of Lincoln University, a prologue to the future. We wish to thank all who have helped to make us what we are, and all who have contributed so graciously to this our 1953 Lion. ft • • ■■ a The School Pace 7 ’ Pictorial representation of six campus build- ings . . .

HELEN WALLS With great pleasure we. the members of the Senior Class, dedicate this 1953 LION to a dear and very wonderful friend, Mrs. Helen Walls, who is known to all of us more affectionately as Miss Helen.” There is an old saying. The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.” and although Miss Helen” has spent the better part of her many years here assisting in feeding Lincoln men. we feel that she has won our hearts through her kindness, her light spirit and her utter devotion to us. It is our desire that in this, our Dedication, we may in some small way express our deep appreciation and our full awareness of what she has come to mean to us. We also hope that down through the years she will remember us. as the Class of ‘53 will always remember her. edication OOIHDS 3IHJL Administration Building: Office building for the President, Deans of College and Students, Registrar, Public Relations, and Business Manager. Administration Rendall Hall: Called the Gold Coast dormitory by all senior students. Here we lived, studied, and enjoyed all the chronics of college men. Ri nlrlinn ------ J Rendall Hall Houston Hall: Known to all students as Mount Sinai, a dormitory and classroom building for theological students. Mary Dodd Brown Chapel: Houses the chapel. Little Theatre and Music Studio: all religious and University assemblies held here. Houston Hall The Chapel While ordaining a young man at New London, Pa., for missionary work in Africa, on May 8, 1849, the Rev. John Miller Dickey, of Oxford, Pa., conceived the idea of a school for the training of young colored men to carry the light of the gospel to their race. In 1853 the plan for the establishment of the school was approved by the Presbyterian General Assembly, and in this same year Dr. Dickey purchased a farm of 30 acres near Hinsonville, Pa. as the site of Ashmum Institute, named for the Liberian pioneer Jehudi Ashmun. The first charter for this school was signed in 1854 by Governor Bigler of the State of Pennsylvania. Thus, Ashmun Institute, the first institution of higher learning for Negroes, was born. In 1857, Ashmun Institute opened its doors to four students— two in the preparatory school and two in the theological department. During its first few years most of the students were former slaves. The institution comprised only Ashmun Hall, which served as a 9 dormitory, a chapel, a recreation- hall and a refectory. Its President, Dr. Carter, was also its sole faculty member. After graduation, its first three students went to Africa as missionaries. Vail Memorial Library: Contains reading rooms, collection of African Arts, exhibitions of recent painters, new wing in '53. The Library The Civil War found the school operating under great difficulties, financial and otherwise. In 1864, twenty-three students enrolled at the institution, while modest funds began to trickle in, bringing the institution through this period of experimentation into a field of broader usefulness. In 1866 the name, Ashmun Institute, was changed to The Lincoln University in honor of Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln University therefore represents the first institution to bear the name of The Great Emancipator. Science Hall Science Hall: Hero are Ihe lecture rooms and laboratories for the Departments of physics, biology, and chemistry. Through these halls pass the doctors, dentists and scientists of tomorrow. HORACE MANN BOND . . . President of the University Lincoln University was proposed in 1853: the class of 1953 graduates one hundred years after the great idea was projected into a world that was generally hostile to the notion that all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. In 1854, and in successive years, the idea took material form in the institution that is now your Alma Mater. Great changes have taken place in the world during the past century; it is the glory of the idea that is Lincoln University, that its graduates have profoundly advanced the dissemination of the great idea, of the equal brotherhood of all men under God, everywhere in the world. May you, the Class of 1953, as notably promulgate, practice, defend, and extend this greatest idea in the intellectual and spiritual life of Mankind. 7i HAROLD F. GRIM . Dean of the University ♦i To the Class of 1953: It has been well said nothing in this world is so good as usefulness. It binds your fellow-creatures to you and you to them; it tends to the improvement of your own character. As a young man seeks his place in God's program his usefulness can grow in the following ways; (1) By increasing his knowledge. Enlarging one's knowledge is like placing a bright light in darkness; the brighter the light the greater the circumference of the circle of darkness. (2) By strengthening his courage. The exhibition of courage helps others to be courageous. Courage is the first of human qualities because it guarantees all others. (3) By living the highest ideals. Ideals are meant to be lived. By living ideas you will develop your thinking processes. I feel sure that your association with Lincoln University has given you opportunity to formulate lofty ideals. These may have germinated slowly in your heart but, nursed honestly, will be expressed by good and useful deeds in every day living. -7 ) JC . S. W ANDREW E. MURRAY . During your years at Lincoln you have shared in the power of a great tradition. The tradition is simple, but fundamental—the affirmation that freedom is best expressed through an inclusive fellowship. More important than the facts you have learned, is the life you have lived in comradeship is one of the burning needs of our times for if men cannot live together then they will be condemned to die in lonely isolation. May your lives demonstate to a cynical world the creative power that lies in an inclusive human fellowship. . . . Dean of the Seminary 13 Dean of Men JAMES B. MacRAE The changes in your generation have probably been more rapid than at any other time in man's history. While this may seem to be a trite statement made by successive generations it is none the less true. It is to be hoped that you have acquired at Lincoln a readiness to adapt yourselves to desirable changes. However, there are knowledges, skills, values and virtues, which are abiding parts of the human heritage that you have acquired, also. One of the great and challenging tasks which confronts you is to be able to reconcile the sense of pattern and direction deriving from the racial heritage with the sense of experiment and innovation deriving from science PAUL KUEHNER...............................Registrar To the Class of 1953: Present world conditions may not promise a bright and easy future; life may prove to be less carefree than you are expecting; yet we hope that you will go forth resolved to make good. With keen interest we have observed your progress and development during your college days, and we will continue to be interested in you, wishing you success, health and happiness.  14 HORACE MANN BOND. a.b..

One must take care not to be overwhelmed by his contempla- tion of any single one of these visages lest he become either over-belligerent, or over-cautious, or over-optimistic. When each of these aspects under which the world presents itself is perceived in its proper perspective, and is understood, then the three faces fuse into the single benevolent countenance of Opportunity 20 Class Officers: Front: JOSEPH DANIELS.

SENIOR CLASS OF 1953 September, 1949, was indeed a memorable date in the lives of many members of today's Senior Class. For many, it was first time away from home; for some, it was the first time that they would actually be on their very own. For in September of that year, the Seniors of today were then lowly, entering freshmen. It was a brand new experience. We were beginning a new phase in our lives. We were college students. We heard Dr. Bond tell us about the undying flame that was spread before us. Our freshman advisors told us what was expected of us and what we should do in the case of this or that. Then the upper classmen arrived! With the return of the upper classmen, we found among our number acrobats, joke tellers, porters, and various other strange but interesting occupations. We witnessed our first Homecoming, after having seen our first impromptu blazing of a traditional woodpile. Most of us survived the first semester and patiently waited for the grass to grow green. And it did. Now, as we entered upon our second year at Lincoln, we had an air of confidence and superiority about us. We were definitely the wise-fools, to which the word Sophomore refers. We appointed ourselves as individual committees designed to endow the Freshman with the Lincoln spirit. Our football team was good that year, and though we lost the Homecoming game, we retaliated by upsetting Howard on Thanksgiving Day. Our next triumph was soon to follow in the form of little gold pins which we so proudly wore over our hearts. Yes, we had triumphed over many forms of hardship and privation and were presently enjoying the spoils of a life in the various Greek-Letter organizations. It was a year of many firsts: Lincoln had its greatest basketball team, its first Pan-Hellenic dance, its first Student Senate dance and it marked the arrival of T.V. on our campus. But, it was by no means a year of all play and no work, for, our sagacious professors, of whom we are justly proud, kept us ever busy, learning the various laws, theories, formulas, and techniques associated with our numerous subjects of study. The commencement of our Junior year found us more stately with less violent reactions towards freshmen. We took particular note that our class had been increased somewhat by the addition of leftovers and transfer students. Our usefulness to our campus life could not be realized through the many places of responsibility and leadership that were revealing themselves to us. We began to feel the real Lincoln tradition of service above self rather than the Lincoln tradition of purely rabble. Our homecoming activities were a little more conservative with a victory over Virginia Union. We again won at Philadelphia beating Howard University very decisively. Our basket- ball team was fair. We had then the nucleus of a champion wrestling team. Many of us were beginning to look, act, and speak like college men. Yes, we could really feel our growth. We knew then that Lincoln was a University with a religious tradition, calling to each of us and challenging us to serve mankind. 46 The coming of February found us with another half year of life at Lincoln completed and with the final phase of our junior year to prepare for our all important year of college life. Spring was rapidly approaching us, and as with all changes in nature, the latter is enhanced by the former; the class of '53 went along its natural course. Pausing a moment in retrospection, we saw our ranks reduced further through the effects of disagreements between nations—war; through the defeats on the battleground of the examina- tion rooms; through the lack of initiative; and many through avoid- able pitfalls and inevitable fatalities befalling us. Conjoined with the arrival of spring came the happier and light-hearted moments of the school year before reaching its onrushing climax. Frequent were the gala week-ends which supplanted our studies — Student Senate, African, Glee Club, and Pan-Hellenic — as well as tournaments, con- ferences, and athletic carnivals held in nearby cities. The commencement of that year found our class president receiving from the graduating president the mantle, symbolizing scholarship, loyality, leadership, and unity; no longer could we cater to our individual whims or wishes. With new found strength, we approached our predestined goal. Our senior year finally arrived, and the grass was still growing green for many of us. As seniors it seemed even greener and more inspiring than ever before, as it grew there in all its glory. With the election of class officers, the “senior wheels began to turn, and soon we were traveling over that vast area of the grass which we previously could only view from without; an area literally paved with responsibilities. Heading the various organizations on campus came as a natural course of events, but the graduate examinations offered a true chal- lenge. Our study habits were pretty well developed by now, and enabled us to cope with our classroom work, which was becoming increasingly more difficult. Socially we were a bombshell, as we gave one of the greatest dances of the evening following the annual turkey day football game with Howard U. Then all eyes turned toward the future, with the class as a whole applying for admittance to various graduate and professional schools. Will we be accepted?—Only time will tell. It is evident, at a glance over the past four years, that this period has been the most exciting and productive of our careers. Here on Lincoln's campus we have sown the seeds that on other grounds, in other years, shall blossom into the fruits of success. Upon our arrival at Lincoln, we chose a path bearing the roadmark, Knowledge and Virtue. We collectively ascended that path only to discover it was a road laden with trials and tribulations. Many times during our long strenuous journey we stumbled and often we fell, but, each time we got up again, a little older and a little wiser. Yes, it has been four years, four hard years, four trying years, four glorious, happy years, four lifetimes. 47 WL WL Mr. Lincoln: (1.) Donald M. Stocks Most Likely to Succeed: (r.)

The Dramatic Club on Lincoln's campus, undertakes a broad objective embracing basic- and fundamental knowledge and experience in theater craft. Providing wholesome recreation, a form of therapy in personality development, and enriching the recreation of real life. In addition to the campus presentations, the Lincoln Players have made significant strides toward building good will by offering outside productions in many of the metropolitan centers and on other campuses. The club is a member of both the Intercollegiate Dramatic Association and the American Educational Theater Association and has actively partici- pated in both. Our present and future plans are directed toward creating a dynamic Dramatic Workshop. This goal is exemplified, we believe, by affording the entire campus community an opportunity to both lend to and enjoy its intellectual, emotional and esthetic values. lincoln players................................................................. 54 Conscious of the fact that the prime concern of any society is the welfare of its individuals, the Student Senate of Lincoln University was democratically organized as a Student Government representing the interests and welfare of the entire student body. It has the prime concern of developing among students a spirit of World Citizenry — entailing a genuine sympathy for others and a participating interest in world issues, locally, nationally, and internationally. It also initiates Campus improvement and cultivates among students a spirit of civic pride and loyalty to our beloved school. While maintaining an independent status, it attempts to foster a cordial fraternal relationship between students and faculty. To the Class of 1953 the Student Senate extends its best wishes. May your motto be “Service to God and Humanity. Fiist Row, lelt to right: Marlin Kilson, Donald Stocks, Julian King. Kalu Ezera, John Hopkins, Samuel Dismond, Olufem Akinrele.

During the past year, although we have not completed our task, we have striven nearer our goal. The deci- sion of the court pertaining to the Oxford Case will either end one of our long strug- gles, or it will intensify our fight against the evils of discrimination that prevail. We, the members of the Lincoln University Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People have pledged ourselves to continue our fight, and to support the fight of others for downfall of all discrimination. n. a. a. c. p.

The Glee Club is the most active, most widely known, and the most traveled group on our campus. It has graced the stages of many cities along the East from Washington, D. C. to Boston, Mass. It has traveled as far West as Detroit and as far South as North Carolina. This year the Glee Club, under the direction of Orrin C. Southern, II, opened its busy year with a program at the dedica- tion services of Mercy-Douglas Hospital. The annual Christmas Vesper Service was given this year with the assistance of the Mercy- Douglas group. Also, a bass quartette was featured. During the month of February numerous concerts were given in Philadel- phia, Newark, and Trenton. New York City, West Chester Co., Pittsburgh, West Virginia, Connecticut, and Bethlehem, Pa., were also along the tour route. Tour lime . The Y-Cabinet endeavored in its pro- gram to develop and maintain the high spiritual flame which has contributed to the success of Lincoln men in every phase of life.

However, in its few years of existence, it has grown more rapidly than any other club of its kind, and its membership has nearly doubled in number. The purpose and aims of the Science Club are to give to the natural and physical science students of Lincoln University a more practical knowledge in science by discussions, lectures, and field trips. To incorporate scientific thoughts with everyday living; to familiarize the students with a more general knowledge of their prospective fields. . . . science club . . The Lincoln University Philosophy Club is sponsored by Professor Walter Fales and the Lincoln University Theta Chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Honorary Philosophical Society. During the past year it has conducted an interesting series of meetings on topics ranging from Problems of Experi- mental Design to Academic Free- dom. Among the notable speakers were Dr. Thomas Jones, Dr. Cornwell, Messrs. A. N. Abai, W. Cohn, and A. A. Ofodile.

Inspired by a zeal to assuage the thirst for intellectual pursuits and to keep abreast with contemporary socio-economic and pol- itical affairs, the Social Science Club of Lincoln was bom. Believing in our cherished right of free- dom of academic discussion, the club has sponsored several Panel Discussions and Lecture Groups. It has attempted to spot- light Lincoln University on the international scene. The Varsity Club, an honorary organiza- tion of athletes who have won their varsity letters in some sport, has. with the aid of the Homecoming Committee, established it- self as a definite part of the campus com- munity. This organization has had since its inception the responsibility of arranging the annual Homecoming celebration, and the selection of Miss Homecoming. There have been plans made to enlarge the activities of the Varsity Club so as to build a better campus life for all.

During its existence the University Lodge has initiated approximately one hundred student and faculty candidates. The Uni- versity Lodge seeks to inspire in its mem- bership a high ideal of social usefulness, humanitarianism and brotherhood. The freshman class is divided into advisory groups composed of approximately twelve students to each group. Through the Faculty and the Senior Counselors, these students are assisted in their orientation to University life and in the progressively successful per- formance of their college responsibilities. The freshman advisors of the class of '53 wish the freshmen well and will be watch- ing their progress as they write themselves into the pages of our great Lincoln Univer- sity history.

KAPPA ALPHA PSI Kappa Alpha Psi, a college fraternity now comprised of 201 functioning undergraduate and alumni chapters on major campuses and cities throughout the country, and boasting a membership of over 15,000, is the crystallization of a dream. It is the beautiful realization, beyond the realm of all imagination, of a vision shared commonly by its founders. Kappa was founded in January 5, 1911, on the campus of Indiana University at Bloomington, Indiana, to sow among America’s college men the seed of a fraternal tree whose fruit is available to, and now everywhere enjoyed by college youth — regardless of their color, religion or national extraction.

Since that year and throughout the subsequent years, the fraternity has made significant contributions to undergraduate life at Lincoln University. Top scholarship, and the promotion of better understanding, and cooperation between student and the citizen are its highest goals. It has been said, that United we stand, divided we fall, in respect to the stability and longevity of nations. Historically this is a demon- stratable truth, and this adage may very well express the precepts of our fraternity on Lincoln's campus.

BETA SIGMA TAU Beta Sigma Tau is the latest fraternity to be added to the campus of Lincoln University. The fraternity was founded May 24, 1948, and received its charter here at Lincoln April 7, 1949. The purpose of Beta Sigma Tau is to achieve a well integrated collegiate life without discrimination of any sort. The brothers of the fraternity encourage scholastic endeavor, strive for the achieve- ment of purposeful living, and a well-rounded student life which affects all who come into contact with them. The ideals and beliefs of Beta men spread to the four corners of the globe. BETA PLEDGE CLUB Front, let! to right: Richard Huff, Edward Williams, Alvin Graham.

In keeping with its motto, “Culture for Service and Service to Humanity, the fraternity promotes many programs of cultural and educational value. Phi Beta Sigma can rightly take pride in having initiated a program of cooperation between the Greek Letter organiza- tions known today as the National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc.

The Brothers of Beta salute the class of '53 and invite them as future leaders to join in the major task of all Omega men in moulding a better America, a better world, where a man is a man, where merit and not race is the standard, in a world sustained by truth, love, and permanent peace.

FOOTBALL The football season for the Lincoln Lions started this year on the first of September under the guid- ance of Coach Bob Gardner and his two able assistants “Wild” Bill Hunter and Willie T Taylor. The Lions played their first game at Ft. Meade winning the game 25-12. The next game for the Lions was with Upsula at Lincoln: Lions winning 25-13. The third game for the Lions was with Morgan at Morgan, the Lions losing 35-6. Union was next to defeat Lincoln by a score of 19-6. The next game was Homecoming, with Lincoln playing host to Hampton. Hampton won the game by a score of 20-0. The seventh game of the season was a run- away win for the Lions over St. Paul 74-6. The best game the Lions played all season was with Scranton Univ. at Scranton, Pa. The Lions were successful in this game winning 33-25. The last game of the season for the Lincoln Lions was with Howard in Griffith's Stadium in Washington, D.C. To the amaze- ment of the crowd Lincoln took an early lead and kept it until the fourth quarter when Howard put on a scoring spree and tied the score. The game ended in a 19-19 deadlock. 1952 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE LINCOLN OPPONENTS 24 Ft. Meade 18 16 . . Upsula . 13 6 Morgan . . 34 7 Va.

Boasling of only two returning men, a spirited but neophyte team has fought its way into the hearts of the campus community. Foul shooting had been its speciality. The team attempted 135 fouls, and made an awesome 49 in the seven games played. A dependable scorer of last year's five and present captain, Jonas Cowles, leads the team with a 15 point average. Runner up to Cowles and rebound leader is the Freshman, A. J. Johnson, with 12 points. This 6'1 center has great potentialities.

Though nothing much can be said with respect to glorious victories over our opponents, it is worth mentioning that the two outstanding soccer referees of the Eastern region of the United States wrote Dr. Bond commenting on the elegant sports- manship, agile maneuvering, and team work of the soccer team, when they officiated the Howard-Lincoln game on our campus. Of this we are proud. WRESTLING The wrestling team coached by Mr. Robert Gardner, had but one defeat in the 1952-'53 schedule of C.I.A.A. Conference. Their first match against Howard proved disastrous. They won in a triangular meet held at Vir- ginia State and also, beat Hampton Institute by a comfortable margin. As holder of the C.I.A.A.

To incourage interest, sportsmanship, and sincere participation, there are numerous trophies and awards to be won each year. The Kappas, one of the three fraternities entered in the league, have been the standout, having won the baseball, basketball, and football titles. Also in the league are the Alphas, Omegas. Freshmen, and a few independent teams such as the Raiders, Seminarians, and Pacesetters. The Track and Golf Tournaments each spring are run on individual basis, with the winners receiving awards. AFTERTHOUGHTS ri • HA YRIDES DANCES PICNICS • In the social spotlight was the Pan-Hellenic Week- end which, living up to its title, was presented and attended by the members of the five major fraternities on campus and special guest. The invitations sched- uled a formal on Friday, hayride and picnic Saturday, and church and general socializing on Sunday. The crystal tones of the band, the gowns that changed colors as they passed through multicolored lights, and the decorations which adorned and surrounded the dance floor, combined to make the formal he star feature of the entire weekend. High on the list of social events were the Medal- lion Ball, Glee Club prom, Barn dances, and hay- rides; the Kappa Sweethearts Ball, Beta Ball, Student Senate affairs, and the annual Sigma Day program. These are indubitably the most memorable pages of our college careers. SOCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Natalie Hinderas— Bom in Oberlin, Ohio; educated at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music.

We have spent the best days of our young lives on your premises, and this we'll never forget. Without you, we never would have experienced some of the many joys and hardships which go into the making of ihe human soul. We will always remember—our first trip to your arch, to the administration building, and then to ole Lincoln-Ashmun—unpacking, relaxing, and meeting our future classmates and lifetime friends. The football and basketball games—and those Lincoln cheers which were an absolute MUST at all our athletic tournaments. The twilight picnics and bonfires—and a wreck of a farm as a result. Crossing streams on tables, fellows with girls in arm—and of course one had to fall. Dialogue strictly for Lincoln men, which was far above our girlfriends' heads. Such fun it was to watch them try to read between the lines, to get the significance of each word and phrase. Your Alma Mater sung in what sometimes seemed to be sixty different tones, is far to beautiful to forget. Your placid green hills, the bleak foggy mornings, the bright lush snows, and the eight o'clock classes—the noisy refectory, the rush for the mailbox, sleeping in classes, and the dull excitement of lab. work—the trips to Oxford, splitting on weekends, the spring frolics, and the pan-hellenic spirit—the malstrom of dorm, life, the constant blast of T.V., the rabble, and all that might have been, have imbued, irked, and fascinated as only you, our Lincoln, can. 'Tis almost a novel, but tales which would take a lifetime to tell are left out. So this is our parting letter to you, dear Lincoln. Don't think of it as a treatise of loaded words and melodious phrases, but as our honest tribute to a truly wonderful Alma Mater. 84 Your sons.
