MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 1963: You, too, are inheritors of a great tradition as Sons of Phi following in that illustrious and Royal Line of odd-year classes of Lincoln men. It is my hope that as participants in our world culture you will be strengthened by the ties of friendship formed here at Alma Mater. May you repeat often and act out those lines of our Alma Mater, and constant and true, we will live for thee anew. My fondest wish for each of you is good health and happiness as you contin- ue to open doors of opportunity for others and emancipate them from the fears of our imagination and of our world. Leroy D. Johnson, '31 Dean of the College DEAN LEROTD. JOHNSON TO THE CLASS OF 1963 The current issue of the NEA News says, The maturing of the sense of social responsibility does not come automatically with age. Democracy, rightly, emphasizes the individual. But this emphasis must not become a cult . Unless there is social responsibility shown by large numbers of individuals, our democracy would become a plae substitute for the real thing. Your maturing comes as a consequence of your own efforts of sec- ond thinking and acting and feeling. We hope that your stay at Lincoln has helped to bring to fruition your own sense of social responsibility. Thus you will be able to take your place with the many sons of Lincoln who have made real contributuions to the society of which they are integral parts. James Bonner MacRae Dean of Students DEAN JAMES B. MACRAE 8

FRANK J. DOWD, JR. VICE PRESIDENT It is a great personal pleasure to greet the members of the Class of 1963. All of us here on the campus will watch with pleasure and interest as members of Lincoln's latest class make their way through graduate schools and into influential business and professional positions. It is only through the contributions of alumni to society that a college ultimately justifies itself. I am confident that your class will stand with those who have gone before you as prime examples of the worlds that can be won through education. As your college moves ahead to meet new challenges and adopts new methods to help new generations of students to meet the opportunities of their day, we look for- ward to the advice and support of the class of 1963. Frank J. Dowd 9 Vice-President
