Text from Pages 1 - 92 of the 1961 volume:

1 t e So t uitC uz e (face friee $£ zCC de friee tttdeecL nineteen hundred Published by the Senior Class of Lincoln University Lincoln University, Pennsylvania. sixty-one foreword Leaving this institution which has grown dear to us, we, the class of '61 are confident that we have spent here four worthy years, four of the best years of our lives. We have molded our lives and minds to fit the pattern laid down for us by the great educators of the past. Therefore in seeking other success, we expect to be definite assets to our communities and to our countries. This yearbook mirrors true experience, puts into print what we have ac- complished, and tells of our aspirations. With the help of the entire campus community, we of the Lion Staff have sought to produce a yearbook rich in the traditions of Lincoln University, a prologue to the future. We wish to thank all who have helped to make us what we are, and all who have contributed so graciously to this our 1961 Lion. 4 We, the class of 1961, dedicate this book to a woman who is not only a philosopher, teacher, mother and wife, but also to a scholar and educator with a love for mankind. The type of love that inspires one to contribute whatever he can to the welfare of humanity. She has taught us that philosophy opens our minds to those possibilities which enlarge our thoughts and free them from prejudices; that philosophy disminished our feelings of certainty as to what things should be; that philosophy teaches us to substitute our narrow and personal aims for an active part in the greater aim, that aim being the freedom, equality, and prosperity of mankind. It is with sincere appreciation for everything that we dedicate to this very modest and unassum- ing lady the 1961 Lion. Dr. Beardsley, we deem ourselves fortunate to have known you. 5 ACTING PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY DONALD C. YELTON A.B., Hamilton; M.A., Georgetown; M.S., Columbia Dear Graduates of 1961: Among Lincoln’s graduating classes you have the dubious distinction of having entered and de- parted under the aegis of a temporary administration. These years in which you have been tested and examined to prove your capacity have also been testing years, and years of self- examination. for Lincoln. She has been obliged to rethink her mission and to rechart her course, and to do so under circumstances of unexpected difficulty. That the task has been arduous and prolonged is an index of its magnitude; that Lincoln has been able to meet the challenge and to come through the difficult years is a tribute to the soundness of her tradition and to the devotion of many men who have kept faith with that tradition. The challenge has been met in an era of administrative impermanence--thus testifying all the more clearly to the toughness and. viability of ideals and of institutions that worthily embody them. You take your leave of Lincoln on the threshold of an era of permanent leadership and of the fulfillment of many things now in matrix. There are grounds for regret here; but there is also a special incentive--to which I hope you will respond--to maintain close bonds with your Alma Mater, to give your close attention to the events in store for her, and your liberal support to the efforts that will be required to bring them to maturity. To the record of her graduates--as professional men, as citizens, as local alumni--Lincoln looks for the ultimate justification of her existence. For this justification--which has not been found wanting in the past--she now looks to you, the Class of 1961, who have received your instruction during these four years of transition from one epoch of her institutional existence to another. 6 Administration rfcUtUtUttnatiM' 8 4cUttC(€C4tfUltCO t 9 'pacuttcf HENRY CORNWELL Psychology DeFOREST P.

SMITH A.B., Lincoln University; M.A., University of Pennsylvania. Instructor in English. To the Class of 1961: The ultimate of man's thinking is true knowledge. Our minds, governed by a truly Christian approach, have received an education in feeling, in delight, and in the sharing of the goods of life, and thus we promote the possibilities of human excellence. We have discovered that Truth gains more even by the errors of one who, with due study and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who hold them only because they do not suffer themselves to think. Let us recognize for ourselves facts amid appear- ances and shape change, rather than mouth desire. And this will hold even more of truth in the community at large as on the campus. May the level of your maturity be of such strength and courage to cheer, raise, and guide you beyond your present satisfactions and may the slow task of observation direct you toward great aims and greater truths.

Due to our rapid development we have found a need for organizations to suffice these needs. The Chemistry Club is one of these. The interest of the members in the club can be measured by the progress of the Chemistry Club. The objective is to allow persons interested in this field a chance to gain some advanced knowledge on the gradu- ate level. The Club has extented its functions to group and panel discussions for the general interest of the campus community and field trips for the members. OFFICERS Harold Minus . William King .

The Council does not govern or regulate fraternities but rather suggest and advise the ethics by which the Chapters conduct themselves. The Council is made up of four members from each fraternity: the president, dean of pledges, treasurer and one lay representative. Like other organizations, it sponsors various activities, but it differs in that all of its activities are for Greeks only.

This was done in an attempt to stimulate further interest in philosophy and psychology. The Philosophy Club further strives to serve as an outlet for creative thought. 55 s4fruc z i Stude tte s4444ccatta«t Our changing scene has seen Lincoln grow from a University for the education of American Negroes to one that in- vites all to enter. This is in line with Lincoln’s new policy of over-all integration. Most of the students from Africa who are here are representatives of nations which received their independence this past year. This is.recognized as a giant cornerstone in the building of a free Africa.

Like many of the other clubs its organization stemmed from the profound interest of the professors and students of the Social Science Department. Its purpose is to give the social science students additional theoretical and practical knowledge of the social sciences through field trips, lectures and panel discussions. Like other organizations related to courses, its objective is to im- prove the performance of the students in the field. OFFICERS James Washington Sunny Andrews . . Frederick Baron .

An analysis of the Student Senate shows that it is very representative of the student-body since it contains a cross-section of the campus. Moreover, like other organizations the Student Senate sponsors chapel programs, recitals and week ends. This year it was instrumental in obtaining many conveniences for the student-body.

The advent of beta Chapter on Lincoln University's campus occurred February 13, 1914, in the residence of our fraternity sister, Mrs. Lottie Wil- son, who for her loyalty to the cause of Omega, was accepted into the brotherhood as a real member, and is the only woman ever to receive this recognition. 61 SEATED, Left to Right: V.

These aims are manly deeds, scholarship and love for all mankind. Principles and ideas remain only theoretical items of no practical value if no earnest work is devoted to them. In the past Nu Chapter has made many outstanding contributions to give these ideas and princi- ples actual practical value. It has sponsored many humanitarian affairs both for campus and community. One can really see the truth in the saying from the prayer, The House of Alpha, GOODWILL IS THE MONARCH OF THIS HOUSE. OFFICERS President......... Vice President . . Secretary..........

The Lincoln University Glee Club is one of three choral groups on the campus. The Glee Club, nearing its 40th year of continuing organization, functions as the musical ambassador for the University at all major chapel assemblies. The Glee Club sings an annual program preceding the Christmas holidays, as well as concerts in the Spring and Commencement. At these concerts the Glee Club presents outstanding young musicians as guest-artist. The repertory of this group is varied and interesting since the Glee Club sings choral music from Palestrina to the current musical stage. 64 S,K4e tMe The University Ensemble is a group of fourteen voices whose principle duty is to furnish the music for the Sunday Chapel Services. The Ensemble accepts off-campus engagements in its own right, and sings as varied a program as the Glee Club.
