The golden hours we spend beneath The dear old Orange and Blue, Will live fore'er in memory. As guiding stars thro' life; For thee, our Alma Mater dear, We will rise in our might. For we love ev'ry inch of thy sacred Ev'ry tree on thy campus green; And for thee with our might we will ever toil. That thou mightest be supreme. Well raise thy standard to the sky. Midst glory and honor to fly. And constant and true we will live for thee anew, Our dear old Orange and Blue. Hail! Hail! Lincoln. . . .in ancient log or modern steel, a world of shapes and forms we build, each new and grand in its own time a special plan or dream fulfilled ' 53550 foreword Prevailing world conditions have marked our campus with feelings of unrest and apprehension. Some of our classmates have had to leave their college careers to serve their country; others who have paid the debt have already returned to this collection of buildings which is called Lincoln University. These buildings, old and new, pro- vide a feeling of security and a stationary influence whereby the student can command an ordered daily life from the confusion of the unknown. Here, searching for the comfort of solid, meaningful life, the student has only to look upon the buildings and the world takes form and has aim and end. The 1957 Lion has chosen the campus buildings as o theme because within them are the wisdom of the ages, the key to the future, and the plans to be fulfilled. table of contents page foreword.................................................... 4 dedication.................................................. 6 dr. leroy d. johnson........................................ 8 administration building 9 president bond, board of trustees, deans, administrative staffs, faculty science hall............................................... 16 beta kappa chi, chemistry club, biology club mary dod memorial chapel................................... 22 y-cabinet, canterbury club, newman club, class motto, choir, ensemble, student senate new guest house.......................................... 30 political science club, social science club, philosophy dub. international students’ association, n.a.a.c.p. vale memorial library.................................... 38 lion staff, lincolnian staff, french club, lincoln players mcrary dormitory......................................... 46 alpha phi alpha, beta sigma tau, kappa alpha psi, phi beta sigma, omega psi phi, pan-hellenic council grim gymnnasium.......................................... 60 football, basketball, baseball, cross country, track, wrestling, homecoming queens university hall.......................................... 74 who’s who in american universities and colleges, class officers, seniors, who's who in the senior class, history, last will and testament, juniors, sophomores, freshmen acknowledgement......................................... 100 senior directory........................................ 101 advertisements.......................................... 102 dedication ’frater ave atque vale1 There beneath the Roman ruin where the purple flowers grow. Came that 'Ave atque Vale' of the Poet's hopeless woe, Tenderest of Roman poets nineteen-hundred years ago. —Tennyson, Frater Ave atque Vale Death, be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so; For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow Die not, poor Death; nor yet const thou kill me. SONNET: DEATH by John Donne The language of sorrow is a universal language. It is the language of human emotions and is born of human experience. Wherever death brings grief and the sense of loss,- wherever love brings disillusionment; wherever hopes are shattered and visions dimmed—there will be found sorrow. So this Lion is dedicated in humble respect to a man who was not only a great scholar but an inspiration to all who knew him—Philip Sheridan Miller. Any attempt by me to detach the figure of Philip Sheridan Miller from the evanescent element of Parnassus and Mount Olympus re-created under the magical spell of his voice, and to incorporate it in the more enduring substance of the written word, must become something more than the mere babbling of a disciple. To try to describe Dr. Miller's services to the spirit of Art and Learning and his wizard's influence over his audience is describing, above all, an ethical deed. Dr. Miller was one of the sincerest men of our time, devoting himself to the service of the Classics with such fidelity, ardour, and humility as we are rarely privileged to admire in any other sphere of learning. He bowed his head before the higher will of the master he revered, so that he combined the mediating function of the priest with the fervour of the disciple, combined the strictness of the teacher with the unresting dili- gence and veneration of the pupil. Since he invariably put a touch of his personal genius and the whole of his peculiar moral and spiritual energy, no student, majoring in the Classics or not, can truthfully say that he walked out from Dr. Miller's presence without having been captivated by the wormth of his charm and the genuine interest in the student's welfare. Not only was Dr. Miller a teacher, but he was also an author. His individual triumphs in the realm of writing transcended the boundaries of ordinary authors to become the suprapersonal victory of creative will over the inertia of matter—a splendid proof that, even in a disintegrated and shattered age like ours, now and again it is possible for the gifted few to achieve the miracle of perfection. Dr. Miller was a man who demanded perfection from both himself and his students. The fairly good, the nearly perfect, the approximate, he could not endure. In vain I have often tried to remind him that the perfect, the absolute, are rarely attainable in this world; that, even to the sublimest will, no more is possible than an approach to perfection, since perfection is God's attribute, not man's. To him the idea of the absolute was supreme in any form of art. He believed that if we were ever to achieve anything worthwhile in life, we must demand and strive for the absolute or the perfect. Every student who has been guided by Dr. Miller will testify that, within the range of the elemental energy that radiated from him, lassitude and incompetence were dispelled. At the beginning of a course each individual would be inspired with the power of a divine terror, with a communicable strength which, after an initial phase of palsied alarm, induced in those affected by it a might which greatly transcended the ordinary. The discharge of his own tensions increased the capacity for a better and greater appreciation of the Classics for those who happened to be in his neighborhood, thus expanding the faculties of every student. our advisor As descendents of the Royal Line of Phi, I congratulate you upon reaching this signi- ficant milestone in your lives. You are about to embark into the cold, cold world at a crucial time in history. You will be tested many times after you leave these sacred walls but you will recall these lines thy sons will e'er be true. It is my wish for each of you that the qualities of courage, steadfastness of purpose and faith that have prompted you to make Lincoln your Alma Mater may continue as guiding stars through life wherever you are called to serve your fellowmen. Bon Voyage! Sincerely yours, Leroy D. Johnson '31 Faculty Adviser ‘. president horaeo mann bond president of the university Inaugurated In 1945 o.b. lincoln,- o.m., ph. d.

It is these men, each distinguished in his own profession, who work diligently, as one executive body, for the expansion and progress of the college and its academic and moral program. These ends are accomplished only through their genuine interest in the good of the college; through their consistent effort to further its ideals; and through their generous contributions towards its development. From the founding of the school over a century ago, these chosen men have fully accepted and unfalteringly maintained their large responsibilities of their office, until today Lincoln University represents the finest of educational institutions. president vice-president secretary treasurer ex-officio non. george m. leader francis shunk downs waiter d. fuller Herbert e. mlllen ralph j. bunehe waiter m. phlllips t. guthrie speers lewis m. stevens george d. cannon lewis m. stevens herbert e. millen Harold f. grim austln h. scott Horace mann bond thomas m. mcmillan robert f. maine david g. morris jullus rosenwald, 11 frank t. wilson thurgood marshall w. boverly carter william r. cole manuel rlvero cllnton s. golden william mcconaghy duncan merriwether edward r. archer roger s. firestone william h. johnson john ware, 1 ? 1 Charles whittlesey Trustees plan campus expansioni Austin H.

Its membership is small, but its objectives are very well attained-fo bring men to the campus who have done outstanding work in any scientific area to talk to the students, to allow students in the natural sciences who have done their work well above the average achievements to discuss their favorite projects in their particular field, and to grant a small reward in way of recognition to those who have completed a success- ful and meritable three years of scientific study.

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 Biology Club are to give to the student of the bi- ological sciences a more practical knowledge of the science by discussions, lectures by prominent individuals, and field trips. officers william brown ................................ president arthur myers ............................ vice-president twenty twenty-one tw«nty-two mary dod brown memorial chapel a structure lovely, firm, supreme— the product of a builder's dream, with stained glass windows, weathered stone, a monument that stands alone. . . the y-cabinet N I rt first row, left to right: e. terry, i. woodson, w. grant, r. brown, j. bronner, I. turner, second row: j. richord young, d. myers, r. lowson.

Its purpose is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character, to foster and promote cultural activities of the student body of the University, and to encourage athletic and recreational activities of the University. Under the direction of DeWitt Myers as president and Mr. Emory Wimbish as advisor, the cabinet has sponsored many campus activities, among them being several lectures, recitals, and exchanges with nearby colleges. dewift myers . .. richard a. brown isaac woodson . james a. bronner Charles lundy . . . mr. e. wimbish . . .. president vice-president . . . secretary ... treasurer . .. . chaplain .... advisor Iwenty-four canterbury club first row: theodore pickney, lewis berry, wesley norton, roberl lowson, harry lombert. second row: humph- ry jones, ellsworlh hall, b. obi. officers president . .. vice-president secretary . . . treasurer ... advisor .... jesse anderson wesley norton ellsworth hall . . lewis berry . father davis twenty-fiv newman club seated left to right: c. w. lee, horvey henry, olbert dowe. byron reed, jocob scoff, standing: timothy meycrs. edword jocquet, grcgory duckctt, robcrt rollings, corol hicks, ccdric ollison. As a club of Catholic Culture and Catholic Fellowship, the Newman Club is organized in order to deepen the spiritual and enrich the temporal lives of its mem- bers through a balanced program of religious, intellectual, and social activities, to weld the Catholic student into a common union; and to assist the students whenever possible. It enables the individual student to become acquainted with other students of his own faith and to form friendships more beneficial than chance acquaintance- ships made through other agencies. officers albert dowe ................................ president harvey henry .......................... vice-president eugene hunt ................................ secretary byron reed ................................. treasurer edward jacquet .............................. chaplain mrs. gladys renwick .......................... advisor tw«nty-iix o s c r ora ) Oy V o C twenty-ieven the glee club The Lincoln University Glee Club has come a long way in its 29 years of existence. The Glee Club has become very well known in the North Eastern part of our country through our extensive travels throughout this area, and frequent programs on radio and television. One of the highlights of this year was our nationwide television appearance, where we were honoring Abraham Lincoln. Under the baton of our 4th conductor, Orrin C. Suthern II, our glee club has grown from a small group to a group composed of more than 50 voices, of which we are justly proud. president ... vice-president secretary .. . treasurer . . . officers ............ william womock ........... james a. bronner ................. warren grant ................. thomas newby twonty-oight comments from sponsors What a joy it was to have your marvelous choir, under the direction of Orrin Clayron Suthern, II.

I was so impressed as to write to Dr. Bond to tell him that we enjoyed this program thoroughly. I like so much the voice training shown. There was no harshness, but an eveness which showed direction, and for this, you are to be congratulated. W. C. Handy, compoesr I wish to express to you the deep appreciation of the music committee and myself for the splendid program you presented at our church. You deserve a great deal of credit for the Fine training you are giving those boys. . . Raymond Mason, First Presbyterian Church, Lansdowne, Pa. Since the evening of the splendid service that you and the members of the University Glee Club provided for us, I have been thinking of the beauty and joy of that occasion. Our people valued the beauty of tone and of the balance in the choir, and our hearts were lifted by the rendition of the sacred anthems. G. Malcolm Van Dyke, First Presbyterian Church, Lansdowne, Pa.

Feeling the need for representation on campus, fhe Political Science majors under the guidance of Dr. Moses Lukaczer, was organized in 1954. Within the realm of the Political Science Club we find the objective of futhering understanding of various political problems and their importance in everydoy life. On the program for the year were discussion groups, and lectures given by prom- inent speakers.

This is well exemplified by the continual process of bringing all the news that's fit to print about Lincoln's campus to the student body and members of the Alumni who desire this publication. Controversial points, sports, literary jewels— all these and more go into making of a successful college newspaper, and the stu- dents and particularly the Lincolnian Staff can feel proud that this is exactly what they have. To report events accurately,- to make individuals think; to entertain—these are the factors involved in a news periodical of high caliber. The Lincolnian Staff should now feel that all their work was not in vain. officers editor ................................. norman reeves associate editor ....................... donald keiffer sport editor......................................levan gordon feature editor ........................ author honore business manager ...................... ellsworth hall forty-one french club officers president .............................. herman wilson vice-president ................... jean-olivier majastre secretary ............................. deborah redd treasurer ........................................ frank berry forly-Iwo Houston Hali forly-throo lincoln players first row: normon edwords, deborroh redd, george morgon, dorothy jones, john brooks, second row: richord toylor, robert lowson, richord brown, lovon gordon, dewitt myers. donold kiefler.

IN OUR DEAR A PHI A Alpha Phi Alpha, the first of the Lincoln Greek letter organizations, was founded at Cornell University in 1906. Also the first of the fraternities here at dear old Lincoln- started bock 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 ond precepts. AND LOVE FOR ALL MANKIND To further these and the many other high standards of Alpha and to honor those who have made notable contributions to mankind, Alpha has a Medallion Award, given to an outstanding humanitarian. COLLEGE DAYS SWIFTLY PAST IMBUED WITH MEMORIES FOND The lost 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 broth- ers which hove united us all in the true spirit of brotherhood. So we shall go on striv- ing as our motto to be First of all—Servants of oil—Transcending all.

Founded on May 24, 1948, Beta became the first interracial, intercultural, social National Fraternity to invade American shores. The Beta way is the American Fraternity life what the new world was to the First colonial settlers. Since its coming to Lincoln University on April 7, 1949, it has greatly effected the attitude and standards of fraternity life as a whole. Its purpose is to achieve a well inter- grated collegiate life without discrimination of any sort. officers president ............................ james warden vice-president .......................

Kappa Alpha Psi was founded at the University of Indiana in Bloomington, Indiana in 1911 as Kappa Alpha Nu when a need was felt by its ten founders to establish a fraternity where the spirit of brotherhood, which was not felt in the existing fraternity, would be exemplified. In 1914 it was incorporated by the state of Indiana as Kappa Alpha Psi. Its ten founders, of which seven are still living, at that time decided that the fundamental purpose would be that of achievement. Today in its forty-sixth year of existence, this purpose is shown in men like Brother Ernest Wilkins, the first Negro Under Secretary of Labor,- Brother Sorwell Richardson, United States Administrator of Parole,- Brother Archie Alexander, former Governor of the Virgin Islands and Brother Bill Russel of the Boston Celtics. Bonded by the spirit of brotherhood and with the gleam of achievement burn- ing in their hearts, the men of Epsilon stand here proud to do their part in upholding the name of Kappa Alpha Psi. officers polemarch ................... vice polemarch .............. keeper of records ........... dean of pledgees ............ asst, dean of pledgees ...... treasurer ................... historian ................... . . . albert dowe normon v. reeves . . ira j. k. wells . . george terrell . . jesse anderson . . enos andrews . . . arthur myers fifty-two kappa alpha psi queen 1956-’57 miss eleanor Hinson phi beta sigma Phi Beta Sigma was first chartered at Howard University, Washington, D.

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 co-operation between the Greek Letter organizations known today as the National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc.

Some fourty-four years have passed since the night when the initial meeting of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity was held. It was only a small group consisting of four men who met that night in Washington, but the light which they ignited is still burning as bright or even more so than it did on the first night. Our Beta Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity was the second in existence and never has she failed to uphold the four cardinal principals of scholarship, manhood, perseverence and uplift. With the graduation at hand Beta again feels the pain of losing several brothers. We sincerely hope, however, that our lost will be the worlds gain and that our departing brothers will always hold true to the four cardinal princi- pals and the fraternity motto, Friendship is essential to the soul. officers basileus ......................... richard c. preston vice-basileus......................................linzy scoff keeper of the records and seal ........................ james watson keeper of finances .................. jereliegh archer chaplain .................................. martin riley keeper of peace...................frederick boulware fifty-lix omega psi phi queen 1956-’57 miss margie jefferson pan-hellenic council The Pan-Hellenic Council functions as a correlatory body between the five frater- nities and the administration.

Lincoln's football season started this year on the fourth of September under the able guidance of Coach Gardner and Bob Smith. The Lincoln Lions had a very unsuccessful season in 1956. A 25-0 win over St. Paul was the only win the Lions could muster on their seven game schedule. The Lincolnites amassed a total of 38 points while the opposition was piling up 162. Tae Ellis led the Lions in scoring. He scored three of Lincoln's six touchdowns. The biggest run from scrimmage was a 65 yard touchdown run by Joe Franklin against Hampton on Homecoming day. No members of the team are graduating and we sincerely hope that Coach Gardner can come up with a winning team in 1957. lincoln 1956 football schedule opponents 0 .... J. C.

Although Lincoln's basketball team experienced a rather unfruitful season, it is hoped by Captain Ted Ellis and Coach Bob Smith, that future years will prove to be glorious ones for the cagers. The senior class leaves a group of court men of high potential. There are those who have the experience and the ability to adapt to Coach Smith's training methods. Also to be considered, are those newcomers to the team like Glenn Hamm, Al James, Phil Kemp, Dick McDaniel, and Billy Ray Smith, who are all expected to be molded into prize winning players. They had the misfortune of having to adjust to intercollegiate ball playing which involved frequent, long, and tiring trips, but made a favorable showing despite it all. We seniors congratu- late them for their adjustment. The second year players like Bob Blacwell, Ralph Cato, Warren Goins, Nick Haley, George Jefferson, and Bruce Whitley should be given a special note of encouragement because they are mid-way between be- ginners and oldtimers. Under the able leadership of Coach Smith, they are expected to be the glory seekers of the future. It is the who have both the experience of the past and still the promise of the future. Smooth sailing, fellows. Only two men have played basketball for their third year. They are George Cal Williams and Ted Ellis. The latter gained particular distinction as both captain and high scorer. The mighty Tae worked against a number of disadvantages but came through as the second highest scorer of small colleges in this area—a well deserved honor. A greater honor was the respect and admiration which he received from his teammates and fellow students. To both Tae and Cal, we sen- iors leave our best wishes and the hope that they do as well in their final year of college ball. Unfortunately, the senior class was represented by only one player. But the sportsmanship and spirit showed by Richard Preston more than adequately made up for his singularity. Not only because he was the only representative of our class was he distinctive, but because he defied the adage concerning height on the court, he deserves special consideration. He has often been regarded as the smallest player with the greatest amount of heart. He played with the spirit and drive that surpassed height and size. What he didn't have, he didn't need! His fellow classmates respectfully pay tribute to a fine athlete and a swell fellow. Well done, Pres. Special mention should be given to Coach Bob Smith who established himself as a fine leader. He proved to be an able director despite his duties as a professor of English. This was his first experience as coach at Lin- coln. Although the outcome was not in proportion to his efforts, his hope has remained high and his spirit has kept alive. We seniors will remember him for his calm disposition and good naturedness. Defeat did not mean discouragement to him. Our hats are off to a fine young man whose philosophy seemed to be: Win if you can, loose if you must, but always play the game. Better luck in the future. :i ty-four sixty-five sixly-ux soccer Lincoln vs. 0 .... ....Philadelphia Textile 3 1 . ... . .. . Rider 2 0 .... . . . .

The Lincolnites could only twice all season make a score. Three times they were shut out. Howard applied the worst shellacing on homecoming day when they defeated Lincoln 8-0. This was the novice season for coach Issac Mapp, and it was not successful at all. Eric Getzen was the only senior member of the '56 Lion squad.

Selected by the faculty and students, these six seniors represent those who, in their stay at Lincoln, have shown those qualities which make them the choice for one of the highest honors here at Lincoln University. Service, scholarship, and future usefulness to society are among those standards used to determine the choice of these gentlemen. We have seen these men exhibit these qualities here at Lincoln, and thus we have no doubt that they will continue to do so after they leave.

These are the things which I shall try to chronicle here for now and posterity... those things which in later life we will reflect upon wilh feelings of nostaglia and wistfulness.. .Yeh, I'm goin to Lincoln ...Yeh, I'm a freshman, why?... You're my room- mate, huh.. .You'd better take that bed, cause your high school letters won't fit on this wall...Which way is Science Hall? Na, those Anticipatory Exams don't phase me.

Next year, well... so time went, and we went along with it. In September of 1953, eighty-five high school graduates, assorted in size and demeanor, gath- ered under the auspices of Lincoln University to further their education. All, in a particular fashion, have become educated. Some left to serve their country in the Korean crisis, some left of their own volition—submission, and others simply left. By our Senior year, the original group had dwindled to less than sixty. The object of this group had under- gone a change. Now, the urge to graduate had transcended the earlier, foolish urge to be educated. But as we graduate, we do not feel cheated in any sense. We have each chosen our paths of ed- ucation, as we now must choose our paths in life. In retrospect, many incidents mark our stay. We remember the exciting times the best. It is the crazy, zany episodes of our student days which stand out. They will grow with intensity as we grow older. In passing through the Arch for the last time, we solemnly say VALE LINCOLNENSIS. ninety class song vale lincolnensis words by r. e. lawson music by e. terry Farewell to thee dear old Lincoln. We bid thee sad adieu. Our hearts will always harbor thoughts Of our four years with you. We've had our work and our pleasure While we were gathered here.

Our four years at Lincoln are at an end. Our sole consulation is the reflection of four years well spent. Time, the unconquerable foe and master of mortals, has written the finale of one of the most important phases in our development. However, before the last page has been turned, the editor of the 1957 Lion wishes hearty expression of thanks to those members of the staff who have worked many and long hours to make the book a success. He is especially grateful to the Literary Editor, Edward Terry, Sports Editor, Levan Gordon and Photography Editor, Eugene Jefferson. A word of thanks is also due to Ellsworth Connie Hall the Business Manager. No acknowledgements would be complete without a tribute to our faculty advis- or Dr. Leroy D. Johnson. From the outset he has given tirelessly and willingly of his time to advise and help regardless of his many other busy projects. His tireless efforts served as a stimulus to our waning ambitions.
