Let us not be overcome by our share in the growth ifcthis institution, nor engulfed by the pride we natur- ally take in ourselves at our graduation. The process of tion is an eternal one. Therefore, let our year- ook sarve all of us as an inspiration and a guide in iefping tis to assume our roles in the future of Lincoln. Alan Clarke, Editor I If we find a man worthy of dedicating our yearbook to, can we then say that we pay him any honor by so doing? If we are to consider our choice worthy of what we feel to be an honor, should we not realize that this is but one of the fruits of his achievement, and therefore de- served because of his success? Deserve success and you will command it. So it has been said; so success has been com- manded by you. But how did you come to be placed on this high plateau in the midst of success? Do you have money, power, or any other material things? Per- haps—but then, of what conse- quence are these? To us you are more than these. You stand for something; you have the courage to speak out and fight for what you believe in, even in the face of opposition. Your time is not your own, nor do you want it for your own; it belongs to all who have need of guidance, of help, and of just plain friendship. To us the graduating class and to all Lincoln students who have known you, you have been a friend, a constant supporter, an inspiration, You respect your fellowman, and he respects you. Peace of mind is yours. And so, we the Class of 1959 do humbly dedicate our year- book to you D E D I C A T I O N 7Ao t d Ut- 4. S U cuk; 4., 'Deaewe 4ucce4 uucC you CVtCC COUtttUZHcC 6t.

Pennsylvania Professor of Spanish and French To the Class of 1959: So you finally made it! For when this appears in print, you will be, if no' out, at least outward bound. It was my intention to admonish you on what will be expected of you in the world, so-called. On second thought, I will not. I cannot claim to know exactly what the world expects; moreover, I do not altogether care. What I do care about is that you should carry away with you from here, and live, a certain attitude, a cast of mind, a core of character. That attitude is idealism, a practical, hard-hitting idealism. Perhaps the adjectives are superfluous; it should not be necessary to put Lincoln grad- uates on guard against buying gold bricks and blue-sky shore acreage in New York, Florida, or in the spiritual realm. And you will understand that I am not advocating a more dreamy do-goodism, either. But you must believe, and continue to believe, that the good exists, and that with your help and the help of other men of good will it can perhaps triumph. Believe, too, that the idealist outstrips the cynic, as surely as that creation is a higher function than criticism. Believe it even when your ideal- ism has been beaten black and blue, as it will be. As alumni, never forget that you are the beneficiaries of an institution where no one of you ever paid half the cost of his education. Contribute therefore to Annual Giving. And when you meet youngsters with more mind than money, send them to us. You are potentially our most widespread pro- motional agency. Lots of Luck! A. O. Grubb s4cUHC U4tMti Mt i Dean of the University To the Class of 1959: You have come to the end of your college work. You have, it is hoped, learned to become independent thinkers. The most important thing you will do in your lives is to make decisions. To do this properly you must show courage of conviction and the integrity of self-discipline. If the decisions are well made you will be productive and successful. May you always be too young to be satisfied and too knowing to under- estimate the need for growing. Real education is a continuing process. H. F. Grim Dean of the College To the Class of 1959: You are aware that you belong to the Royal Line of Phi and thus are expected to do great things for Alma Mater as you leave these sacred walls to serve your fellowmen. You are indeed fortunate to enter a world in which so many barriers have been broken but you must be mindful too of the sacrifices of others who have made these opportunities possible for you. Need I remind you that there are new valleys yet to be cultivated and higher mountains to climb in the aesthetic, social, political and scientific areas of living. May the dreams and aspirations which have come to you here continue to inspire you as you re- call these lines: For thee our Alma Mater dear, We'll rise in our might. Leroy D. Johnson Dean of the Seminary To the Class of 1959: June, 1959 will bring to a close the work of the Theological Seminary at Lincoln. While there is sadness in ending a tradition which has existed for over a century, there is also faith that its influence will continue in the service of its graduates throughout the world. As one of the first American seminaries to be completely integrated, Lincoln points the way that others must ultimately follow. It is also our hope that a new program of religious activities may be devel- oped at Lincoln to take the place of the Theological Seminary. Andrew E. Murray t Dean of Students To the Class of 1959: What is the image you have of yourself--five, ten, twenty-five years from today? What is the level of your aspirations? Too many people err in this life by making the limen of their strivings below their a- chievement potential. Today Lincoln men may hope and strive with confidence to achieve higher planes in personal living, vocational choice and societal contribution than they ever dared before. In the less formal language of our time, don't sell yourself cheaply. James Bonner MacRae Business Manager To the Class of 1959: Privileged over the past four years to share in op- portunity for rich experience in higher education, your Class is challenged, no less than older Classes in their time, toward higher duties and responsibilities that fall to those favored with privilege and opportunity. A unique advantage of your Class lies in its being newer to the prospect that the future is yours in the making. We shall follow your progress in earnest hope that meaningful accomplishment and deep personal satis- faction in serving worthy ends are yours in store. We shall also hope that you in turn maintain a lively interest in the Alma Mater you so proudly honored in song. Director of Public Relations To the Class of 1959: 1 feel a special closeness to the members of the Class of 1959 because many of you were in the first class I taught at Lincoln University. I got to know others of you through various activities, and it has been a pleasure to teach and to work with you. Watching you grow and develop has been the source of a kind of pleasure that only a teacher can appreci- ate. Four years can be a long or short time, depend- ing on how you look at them, but in the years to come, I certainly hope you will consider them among the best years of your life. H. Alfred Farrell Austin H. Scott Dietitian To the Class of 1959: All through the past four years my statements and my signs to you have consisted mostly of don'ts and stops. Although they applied to your conduct in the Refectory, they were the basis for good manners. Good manners arc the foundation of success. Remem- ber, Many are called but few are chosen. The chosen ones have success in their hands; as to the others, I pray for their contentment. Best wishes to all. Cladys W. Renwick Accountant To the Class of 1959: As you are about to enter your world of tomorrow, 1 congratulate you. Do not think that your educa- tion is nearly finished. It has just begun. Since a man's life consisted� not of the abundance of things he possessed� , the highest motivating aim of your continuing education, should be, not to get, but to become. May your lives be well spent, crowned by the joy of knowing that you have done your best. Samuel T. Washington Registrar To the Class ol 1959 Who, ever aspiring, struggles on, For him there is salvation. (Goethe, Faust, Part 11) Thus sing the angels, while they carry the soul of Faust to Heaven. The struggling and striving which saved Faust in spile of temptations and trials, will certainly also point the way to your salvation and success. Paul Ktichncr Librarian To the Class 1959: The best fruit of your years at Lincoln is not the knowledge to which your Bachelor's degree testifies; it is the disciplined intelligence which makes your knowledge meaningful. My chief l� ope for you is not that you will prosper professionally (although I wish that too), but that you will have the courage to live in the light of the free intelligence, respecting the opinions of others, but never abandoning your right and your obligation to form your own independent judgments. Donald C. Yellon Dietitian To the Class of 1959: All through the past four years my statements and my signs to you have consisted mostly of don'ts and stops. Although they applied to your conduct in the Refectory, they were the basis for good manners. Good manners are the foundation of success. Remem- ber, Many are called but few are chosen.

Donald C. Yelton To the Class of 1959: Who, ever aspiring, struggles on, For him there is salvation. (Goethe, Faust, Part II) Thus sing the angels, while they carry the soul of Faust to Heaven. The struggling and striving which saved Faust in spite of temptations and trials, will certainly also point the way to your salvation and success. Paul Kuehner Librarian Alfred F.

The experience of working with your class has been a gratifying one for me, and I wish to commend all of you for the fine spirit of cooperation and the unflagging zeal that you have contributed to the accomplishment of your projects. These qualities will serve you well as you assume your respective roles in the fascinating drama of our contemporary society. As you emerge from your alma mater you will symbolize both the hopes and the anxieties of the newly born. For as birth confronts every infant with promises as well as witli threat, so does your gradua- tion bring you face to face with the tremendous po- tentialities for good and for evil that exist in our world today. Throughout his short history man has been continuously challenged by the terrible dichoto mous alternatives of love and hate, of peace and wai of life and death. But at no time in all history have the issues been so compelling nor the consequences s fraught with irreversible finality. The times are but a projection of the nature of man himsclf-eros strivi in mortal combat with thanatos--and the symbols of the age are the Spaceship and the Bomb. You, Class of 1959, stand with all mankind upon the brink of the future. You can make of it what yo will. At your feet yawns the dark abyss of oblivion; above your heads beckons the infinite promise of tin stars. If Henry G.

Editor-in-chief The Political Science Club was organized in 1954 by the Political science majors under the guidance of Dr. Moses Lukaczer. Its objective is to promote a better understand- ing of various political problems and to give the stu- dents of the field a chance to gain a more extensive knowledge of the field. The club propagates its aims by sponsoring panel discussions and lectures by prominent speakers. T7H7 POLITICAL SCIENCE CLUB During the past year, the Philosophy Club, under the direction of Dr. Elizabeth Beardsley, has endeavored to bring before the students of Lincoln University, a well- balanced program of guest speakers and panel groups. This was done in an attempt to stimulate further interest in philosophy and also to serve as an outlet for creative thought. Matei Markwei is president of the club. w IW Mff W The Y-Cabinet of Lincoln University is an affiliated branch of the National Coun- cil of The Young Men‘s Christian Association of the United States. Its purpose is to create, maintain, and ex- tend throughout the school community high standards of Christian character, to foster and promote cultural activities of the student body of the University, and to encourage athletic activities of the University. YMCA CABINET NEWMAN CLUB The Newman Club, a club of Catholic fellowship and culture, is one of Lincoln’s religious organizations. The very exist- ence of the Newman Club illustrates that Lincoln has not declined in its stress on religion as a basic part of a student's background. Under the excellent counse- ling of Mrs. Gladys Renwick, the club has become a foremost instrument for forming bene- ficial friendship on an inter- racial plane. The Carter G. Woodson Historical Society was or- ganized at Lincoln University in the autumn of 1956. The society is open to all stu- dents who are interested in the study of history. Speakers from the surrounding area have addressed the group on local history, and in the future the society hopes to have authorities in different fields of history address it and the student body. The society is ably advised by Dr. Thomas Jones. HISTORY CLUB CANTERBURY CLUB i One of the more active religious clubs on campus is the Canterbury Club. It is an example of the preservation of the religious heritage at Lincoln. It is a club of Episcopalian culture and fellowship. It is organized to promote a better understand- ing of the spiritual aspects of the Episcopalian Church. The meetings consist of dis- cussion periods in which the conversation concerns rituals and all new developments in the Church during the year. The club's advisor is Father Davis. BIOLOGY CLUB CHEMISTRY CLUB The Chemistry Club is one of the newer organizations on this campus. Dr. De- Forest P. Rudd heads this able group which requires of each of its members a paper on any area in the field of chemistry once during the school year. The primary goal of this club is to allow persons interested in this field a chance to pick up some advanced know- ledge on some subject in which there is not enough time to go into details in the classroom. The Lincoln University Biology Club is one of the youngest organizations on campus. However in its few years of existance, 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 biological science a more practical knowledge of the science by discussions, lectures by prominent individuals, ana field trips. The Student Senate of Lincoln University is today a living organization, taking care of the difficulties and im- maturities of our campus society. Utmost discretion is employed for each detail put before the Council in order to better the development among the student and the campus. This also initiates and cultivates social and loyal pride to our college community and nation. This establishes cordial relationships between the students and the faculty as well as better understandings both nationally and internationally. The prime concern of any society is the welfare of its individuals. The Student Senate was democratically or- ganized with this sole reason in mind, and is still main- taining this high standard of ideals. STUDENT SENATE The Varsity Club represents an organization of men who have earned their varsity letters in athletic competition. The varsity men have offered their service beyond academic obligations and have succeeded in both endeavors. Centering their festive activities around the Home- coming celebration, the Varsity Club seeks to continue in the future as it has in the past by promoting this great Fall spectacle. VARSITY CLUB The Chess Club is probably Lincoln's most recent club. Formed in 1957 by Dr. Benja- min Schwartz, the club has had unusual success in inter- collegiate matches. Conrad Pope, a senior, is perhaps the top student player on the team. However, he re- ceives strong support from Han Holland and Dr. Schwartz's son, Richard. Lincoln was invited to par- ticipate in the Greater Phil- adelphia Intercollegiate Chess Tournament this year, and emerged with a creditable record of two wins and two losses. chess club INTERNAT. STUDENTS ASSN. HI 3i In attempting to attain an in- ternational community, Lincoln University has enlisted the en- rollment of students from every race, creed, and culture. A need for our present International Students Association, whose pur- pose would be to act as a har- monizing element between the members, was created. The organization has now fulfilled the need and extended its functions not to the original purpose alone, but into one that includes programs that enhance the community both in various social and cultural aspects. H nr Beta Kappa Chi grew from an honorary fraternity at Lin- coln University into a national honorary scientific society. The purpose of Beta Kappa Chi is to stimulate and promote interest in scientific education and guidance of undergraduate training in all fields of science and to dedicate a reasonable position of time to graduate study for greater efficiency and better service in the dif- ferent scientific fields. It also grants a small reward in recognition to those students who have completed meritable three years of scientific study while maintaining better than average grades. BETA KAPPA CHI MASONS University Lodge 141, under the jurisdiction of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Pennsyl- vania. received its charter in 1948. The University Lodge seeks to inspire in its member ship high ideals of social use- fulness. humanitarianism and brotherhood. LINCOLN The Lincoln Uni- versity Glee Club in its fourth decade is one of the better known male singing groups in the Northeast. It has traveled as far west as Nebraska and as far south as Alabama in ad- dition to covering all the states in the Northeast. Under the direction of Mr. Orrin Clayton Suthern, II, the group has delighted many audiences with its varied repertories of sacred and secular music. Orrin Clayton Suthern II UNIVERSITY Ensemble CLUB FRESHMAN ADVISORS Donald Smythe-Macaulay The freshman class is divided into advisory groups com- posed of approximately six students to each group. Through the faculty and the senior counselors, these students are as- sisted in their orientation to college life and in the progres- sively successful performance of their college responsi- bilities. The freshman advisors of the class of '59 wish the fresh- men well and will be watching their progress as they write themselves into the pages of our great Lincoln University history. Howard Williams ?'iate'i Utte6 The Pan-Hellenic Council functions as a correlatory body, between the five fraternities and the administration. The council does not govern or regulate fraternities but rather suggests and advises the ethics by which the chapters conduct themselves together as Greeks or apart as separate organizations. PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL ii I First of All, Foremost of All, We Will Transcend All is the motto of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. The oldest college fraternity originally founded for Negroes, Alpha Phi Alpha stands for the high ideals of manly deeds, brotherhood, and a love for all people. The fraternity was founded at Cornell University in 1906, and has continued to grow and embrace the highest calibre men of all races everywhere. Nu Chapter was founded and chartered in 1912. Throughout the years the men of Nu have continued to be leaders in all respects, upholding the high standards of Alpha Phi Alpha. The bond of Alpha Phi Alpha is the force that holds each Brother steadfastly to Alpha's lofty precepts. ALPHA PHI ALPHA FRATERNITY, INC. Beta Sigma Tau is the latest fraternity to be added to the campus of Lincoln University. The fraternity was founded on May 24, 1948, and received its charter here at Lincoln on April 7, 1959. 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 achievement 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 SIGMA TAU FRATERNITY, INC. I I I Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, founded in 1911 at Indiana University, now comprises over 200 undergraduate and graduate chapters throughout the United States. It boasts a membership of over 17,000. Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity has been represented on Lincoln University's campus since 1914. Kappa’s funda- mental purpose is Achievement, and we strive to obtain for all our members, all the benefits which can accrue from participation in a modern college brotherhood. Kappa has sponsored its annual Oratorical Contest for Freshmen, its Guide Right Week Program, and assisted in campus affairs. KAPPA ALPHA PSI FRATERNITY, INC. In turning back the pages of history, we arc filled with a strange feeling as we recall our Chapter's humble birth in the Lincoln University community on February 6, 1914, and trace the progress and influence of Beta Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity on this campus to the present time. The brothers of Beta salute the class of 1959 and invite them as future leaders to join in the major task of all Omega 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. OMEGA PSI PHI FRATERNITY, INC. Plii Beta Sigma was first chartered at Howard University, Washington, D.C. in 1914; the Mu Chapter was founded on this campus in May 1922. In keeping with its motto. Culture for service and service to humanity, the fraternity promotes many programs of cultural and educational values. Phi Beta Sigma can rightly take pride in having initiated a program of co- operation between the Greek Letter organizations known to- day as the National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc.

Lincoln's soccer team found the going rough, winning only two of its re- maining games. Under its new coach, Clarence R. Grumbine, and with the outstanding play of Captain Abu Fadika, the team showed flashes of brilliance throughout the season. With most of this years team returning, the Lions should boast a winning team next season.

Carl Barnes David Gardner Lincoln Turner WRESTLING TEAM John Haines For the fifth time in nine years. Lincoln University reigns as the dominant power in CIAA wrestling. The Lions defeated a strong Virginia State team and defending champion in a close, hard fought battle. With practically the same team which took the cham- pionship returning, the future looks bright, indeed, for Coach Gardner’s grapplers. Captain John Haines, 115 pound champ; Carl Piggy Barnes, undefeated and CIAA unlimited champ; and freshman Christopher Leftenant, 147 pound champ, assure Lincoln of a powerful team for the coming season. TRACK TEAM This year's track team was relatively a strong one. Although lacking depth, the team was able to come up with important first places which enabled it to post a win- ning season with a 4-1 record. Special recognition is given to Richard Hall, Lincoln’s 440 star, Norman Campbell, ace half-miler, and Eddie Williams i and David Walker in the distances. For the first time in 10 years the Lincoln cindermen brought back a first place trophy from the biggest Penn Re- lays ever. Dick Hall, Walter Sul livan, Bob Williams and Norman Campbell ran a 3:36 to take tirst honors in the College Sprint Medley Relay. Hall led off by running the 400 Sullivan bringing the baton in second and Williams cut the lead down, but it was Campbell's 1:59 half-mile that put the Lions in first place and gave them a cham- pionship. 70 BASEBALL TEAM Baseball practice was curtailed by the un- cooperativeness of Dame Nature. The weather was the worst in many years, and consequently the team had little opportunity to work out- of-doors. Its activities were confined to the cramped facilities of Grim Gymnas- ium. The lack of pitchers, bench strength, and inexperience greatly hampered this year's team. Consequently, it was able to win only two games during the season-- both victories came at the expense of Army Chemical. Since the team loses only Arthur Harris, shortstop and captain for three years, let's hope that the Lions' bats will roar next season. TENNIS TEAM Senior, Burgette Captain Roebuck The Team Taking over the position of head tennis coach, Dr. HurbertRoss found that his net men were able to compile a record which only showed one win, one tie, and ten losses. Their lone victory came at the expense of Cheyney State Teachers College--they tied Morgan State. Coach Ross believes much of Lincoln's misfortunes were due to inexper- ience, since only five members of the team are upperclassmen. He also be- lieves that if the present team, minus the graduating seniors, but with die addition of Donis Pearcy and incoming freshmen, remains intact, Lincoln will make a respectable showing in all competition. If the team remains intact through the junior and senior years of its present freshmen, it will constitute the greatest tennis team ever to represent Lincoln. The potential of this team is so good that it augurs, perhaps, a CIAA championship within the next few years. 72 '2V yrtcf Tteoe 1Ro4U '7 - uwu%ov oj 7u Sowumv; }t OttCcf octeuf. 7t S ie t$t6' A Stage in our lives is ended; our stay at Lincoln is over. As we leave these grounds and halls, we find ourselves burdened with a weight, a weight not unpleasant, the weight of growth, experience, maturity, and knowledge. Here on Lincoln's campus we have sown the seeds that on other grounds in other years shall blossom into the fruits of success. Four years ago we entered Lincoln and began a journey—a journey, not of space, but of experience. Yes, it has been four years, four hard years, four trying years, four glorious, happy years, four lifetimes. It was September, 1955, when we arrived, green with youth and bliss- ful in our ignorance. Before we left home Dad gave us that last man to man talk, and Mom, sad at the thought of our going away, wept a little and made us promise to brush our teeth each morning. Remember that first year in Lincoln-Ashmun, the washaways, and the upperclassmen raiding our dorm? Remember how we stormed Rendall and carried off the TV set as our spoils of victory? Remember how proud we were in May to see the grass grow green, and how great we felt knowing that we would return in September as Sophomores? These are fond memories. The beginning of our Sophomore year was a busy one; most of our time we felt obligated to devote to the freshmen. It was our duty as Sophomores to instill in them that Good Ole Lincoln Spirit --and so we did. Our class was always one of firsts. That year we broke in MacRary Hall, though some would say we tried to break it down. Our sports' teams were not successful that year, but as usual it was said that they showed promise. And, so, we advanced through our second year. 74 Jri toru a The commencement of our Junior year found us more stately with less violent reactions towards freshmen. We were finally coming to realize the true meaning of Lincoln Spirit. Traditions of loyalty, usefulness, and service took hold of us, replacing that rabble connotation of spirit that had been with us for two years. Dances, parties, the weekend runs were beginning to take on a new interest for us. We could no longer act as pure rabble we had our positions to think of. Yes, that year saw our social prestige on campus shoot rapidly upward; we had become some- bodies at last--we were Juniors. As we became Seniors we inherited from those sons of Lincoln who had gone before us a tradition of scholarship, loyalty, leadership, and unity; no longer could we cater to our individual whims or wishes. We now found ourselves approaching our predestined goal. But, with so much to occupy our time, there were still many enjoyable occasions to make our time pleasant. Homecoming, Student Senate, Varsity Club, and Alpha Weekends highlighted the years social season. And, so, graduation ap- proached. The GRE's were over. We were sitting in the grove--graduation was here. Dean Johnson called out our names and one by one we ascended the platform to receive our sheepskins from Dr. Grubb. Was that a smile that crossed our faces as we marched away from the grove, each of us carrying the same degree, wearing the same robe, each a son of Lincoln—but each of us marching off to make our mark in different fields; some to be- come doctors, some lawyers, some dentisis, but all to remember Lincoln.. Yes, Lincoln, Thy sons will e're be true! 75 LINCOLN’S WHO’S WHO Class Scientist, Herbert Grimes A Who’s Who is a Class’ tribute, some- times serious--sometimes not so serious, to those class members who it feels possess certain qualities and attributes befitting the titles given them.
