JAMES BONNER MACRAE Dean of Students Through the years the graduates of Lincoln, in large numbers, have chosen to enter the professions. The professions will continue to be the loadstone for many of them. However, government, industry and business are increasingly providing opportunities for our graduates. The Class of 1955 would be well-advised to explore the expanding openings in these areas. Satis- fying vocations may await those who dare to try new fields. PAUL KEUHNER Registrar We are proud of our alumni who have contributed so notably to the advancement of their own group, and with it the betterment of human relations. Their names will be known to future generations as builders of good will, as champions in one of the most difficult fields of competition. As you, the members of the Class of 1955, leave the institution, may your predecessors be a constant in- spiration in your work, to spur you on to the peak of performance. AUSTIN H. SCOTT Business Manager It has been my pleasure as well as privilege to talk with each member of your class at more or less regu- lar intervals during the past four years. I have come to know you as young men of promise who have perse- vered thus far in your quest for education. I greet you at this point in your careers with hope that you will press forward toward further achievement, and with expecta- tion that you will acquit yourselves well along the way. Officers

Deans HAROLD F. GRIM Dean of the University George Eliot once said, “Growing thought makes growing revelation.” As the class of 1955 leaves the walls of Lincoln University, may each member be ful- ly aware that the world needs more revelation of truth, but that this can only be effected by continued study which is the basis of growing thought. May your class lead in the leavening that makes for human understand- ing. J. NEWTON HILL Dean of the College Once again a graduating class steps onto the hori- zon and once again we are called upon to focus attention on departure from Alma Mater as well as upon en- trance onto a new world of human endeavor. Nothing counts so much, perhaps, as the vision which you may hold. For the horizon is not always clear—not even always discernable. The vision, how- ever, is yours and if it remains clear then the vicissi- tudes of life cannot prevail, cannot deter you from making some worthwhile contributions to human so- ciety. ANDREW E. MURRAY Dean of the Seminary Here at Lincoln we have the privilege of living in the world of tomorrow, now. Tomorrow’s world will be one in which artificial barriers of race have been elim- inated, a world in which men may live and work in free and open fellowship. Through our experience at Lincoln, where the barriers have been broken down, we are preparing to live in this new and exciting world where brotherhood is no longer a dream, but a reality.

Under the leadership of the instructors of Lincoln University the senior class has ad- vanced considerably. We wish to take this op- portunity to express our sincere thanks, appre- ciation and gratitude for the many consulta- tions held outside of class hours, the encourage- ment given when we were in despair and the expert advice to guide us in our respective fields of endeavor. Our instructors have the ability of im- planting knowledge of the highest quality which is stimulating to us in our pursuits. We are proud to say that our instructors have made elegant impressions on our minds that will prob- ably last forever. We feel, therefore, that our instructors have given us wholesome leadership and suggestions . . . and above all they have not tried to dogmatize us.
