Lincoln University - Lion Yearbook (Lincoln University, PA)

Page 12 text:

In the social, political, religious and educational aspects of life, the 1960's have opened up avenues to various aspirations. As a class cognizant of these avenues and the challenges they present, we are proud of the heritage we have imbibed during our years of study in Lincoln, and are equally proud to dedicate our Yearbook to a man full of aspirations for the future as we are. Dr. Marvin Wachman was appointed to the Presidency of Lincoln University in July 1961. At forty-five, he represents the youthful spirit of the sixties and the desire to do all he can to enhance the ideals for which Lincoln stands. Take a close look at the man Marvin Wachman. Next take a tour of the various establishments on campus and notice the pace the various renovations are going on. You will be compelled to admit that he is just the right man at the right time and in the right place. To a man faced with the challenges of an institution growing each day, we the class of 1962 dedicate a future full of many achievements. In one way or the other our aims are identical and so we have no doubt that he will continually be equal to the task, just as we intend to apply our gains in Lincoln for the betterment of the world we are about to face. 6

To the Class of 1962 The graduates of this fine institution have gone into positions of leadership in many fields, both in the United States and abroad. They have brought recognition to Lincoln University far beyond that which its size would anticipate. There is no doubt that you graduates of the Class of 1962 will take your places in the local, national, and inter- national communities as good citizens and leaders. You are being called upon to in- volve yourselves in more varied tasks than any pervious class at Lincoln University. Not only are there expanded opportunities for graduates of Lincoln, but there is a pressing need on the part of your nation for your services. This means that you will follow the tradition of Lincoln men who have gone on to positions of service and of eminence in fields such as medicine, the ministry, educa- tion, law, business, and government service. This means, too, that you will lead the most interesting, active lives possible. We all wish you the best of luck in finding a rich, full life and a career of service for yourselves and your families. In some quarters one hears a good deal about how modern society is doomed, that it is not solving its problems, and that its people are rootless and aimless. It is very good to note that the prophets of doom have found little reception in the Class of 1962 whose members have been too busy seeking answers to difficult questions, engaging in important activities, and preparing for the future, to bemoan any hypothetical fate assigned to them. I deem it a privilege to have known you during the past year and to have engaged in good discussion with many of you. You have contributed to a healthy ferment on the campus, and I trust that you will do the same in your communities and in your nation. You are the first graduating class in my career at Lincoln University. I shall always feel a special attachment to the Class of 1962, and we all hope that you will come back and visit us often. 7 MARVIN WACHMAN President
