HOUSTON HALL KENDALL HALL 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 1852 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 Ashmun 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. In 1857, Ashmun Institute, the first institution of higher learning for Negros opened its doors for the first time. 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 Emanci- pator.”
