This theme, we hold, embodies the thought of the Emancipator--Abraham Lincoln--and ad- monishes us of our responsibilities to seek knowledge and to use it to enlighten our fellow man. Contrary to popular belief, a college de- gree in itself is not tantamount to education; it is, however, a rude awakening of how little we know, and how much there is for us to learn. During our four years at Lincoln the cardinal principle emphasized and inculcated was . .that without education, life is but a reflection of death. With this dictum ever present in our minds, it is our humble desire to become imbued fully with the spirit of the Muse. We hold forth this book to the memories of our years at Lincoln University. The road we traveled was not always smooth, and the sacrifices not always pleasant, but those were the good years. As we leave this hallowed sanctuary of learning, it is with reverence that we look ahead and become aware of our inadequacies. The Moving Finger writes; and having writ; Moves on; nor all (our) Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all (our) Tears wash out a Word of it. It is our pledge to meet the challenges which lay ahead; to take up the fight against ignorance; and to become stalwart citizens in the community of the world, perceiving that we have only tasted of the Pierian Springs and are not fully emancipated from our own ignorance.
