Dr. Horace Mann Bond...................President Of The University Greetings For The Yearbook The years have fled on wings, since the Class of 1956 entered Lincoln University. Whatever may be the regrets entertained by departing graduates, the sharpest in the heart of an administrative officer is that circumstances did not permit a deeper acquaintance with those who are now to become Alumni. I know enough about the Class of 1956, individually and collectively, to feel utter confidence in its future. Whatever the claims of the older grads,” I know with certitude that you will, in your own time, reflect as distinguished credit upon the University as any of your predecessors. It is an old truism — that opportunity awaits beyond our college walls. It is also the sober truth. As for no other Class in the history of Lincoln, your opportunities are infinite, your choice and unfettered pursuit of occupations vast. May you — we pray — find that the years spent here in Lincoln University, have been good years for you; good, in giving you the preparation you have needed to win success in graduate and professional schools, and in your chosen careers. Noth- ing delights us who remain, more than the frequent letters our graduates write us, telling us that Lincoln prepared them well to meet and match the keenest competition found on advanced levels. We arc already proud of you: may your life be crowned with successful service to Humanity. —HORACE MANN BOND

PROFESSOR NORMAN E. GASKINS Dedication As people who have spent the greater part of the past four years in preparing intellectually and socially for the next phase of our lives, it is entirely appropriate that we dedicate this record of that preparation to one who, by his actions and example, provided an excellent stimulus to social and intellectual growth, the late Professor Norman E. Gaskins. We dedicate this book, as well as ourselves, not to a memory, but to the living ideals which he helped to create in us, fully realiz- ing that those ideals might very well cost us wealth and renown, yet gain for us something more beautiful and of longer duration: self- respect and its constant companion, peace of mind.

Class Advisor You have inherited a world in tension; a society exerting many economic and social pressures; and an age of great scientific and technological developments. As those who have gone before you have helped shape the patterns of today, it is expected that you will help shape the patterns of tomorrow. Although this Commencement is a lime for rejoicing, it is also a time for contemplation. Pause for a moment now and check your future course. There is still hard work to be done and much remaining to be endured. May your choice be high and your determination strong in whatever vour pursuits. TO THE MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR CLASS: It has been a heartwarming experience to have shared in this phase of your life. —JAMES W. FRANKOWSKY Class Advisor First Row Seated: L. to R.
