The great March on Washington of August, 1963 had just taken place when most of you enrolled. Shortly after you registered and began classes, the Presi- dent of the United States was assassinated. During your first year at Lincoln a great breakthrough in civil rights legislation occurred, and in your second year that legislation was strengthened. It was during your tenure at Lincoln that the war in Viet Nam was heightened in its intensity and in its call upon the youth of the nation. Out- standing developments took place in many African nations. And the cries of Student Power and Black Power were heard more frequently on the campus of Lincoln and across the country. Finally, within a few hours after your graduation, war broke out in the Near East, but thankfully cease-fire ar- rangements were made before this volume went to press. None of us could fail to think and grow as a result of these events and developments. Hopefully, the strengthening of the offerings of the Univer- sity and the opportunity for constant discussion and questioning on the campus contributed to your growth. In the last issue of the Lincolnian of this past year, the editor commented that Lincoln University's students, professors, and publications are free to pursue the elusive truth, and that the University offers a milieu in which people can find themselves and define their roles in society. May this always be the case. Good luck as you continue to seek answers to the large personal and public problems of our time! Faithfully yours, 10 Marvin Wachman President
