EDITORIALLY SPEAKING This yearbook is dedicated to the entire class of 1972. It is an effort sustained by a few people, to give to you all a glimpse of the past four years. It, like the class, is diverse and does not subscribe to any particular philosophy. As editor of the Lion, I must admit that putting together this yearbook was a “completely unique” experience. A special thanks must be extended to Francie Harris and Frances Keys without whom the Lion 1972 could not have been completed. Also, Norman Henderson is to be thanked for the photography which appears on pages 1, 51, 68, 77, 81, and 123 of this book. The staff and I hope that this yearbook will be a source of enjoyment and nostalgia for the members of the Class of ’72. It was conceived as a kaleidoscope of what has tran- spired as well as an indicator of the hope in the future which we all possess. It will perhaps be our only reminder of Lincoln after the years have dimmed our memories and scattered our paths. Enjoy it. And in the meantime . . . Peace, Editor, The Lion 1972 4

THE LINCOLN UNIVERSITY Office of the Dean of Students TO THE CLASS OF 1972 Each year thousands of young people leave the ivy covered, academic halls for advanced study, marriage or business, and in many instances a combination of all three. Lincoln men and women have much in common with these multitudes ex- cept in some specifics, and these specifics give you an advantage. These specifics can clearly be seen as follows; 1. You have been involved in an educational experience that concerns itself with your individuality and your total person. 2. Your meaningful concerns have been incorporated in our educational and social programs, and when they have proven to be valid and better than that which has been our practice, they become standard. When they were proven to be a product of hysteria, yours or ours, they were withdrawn and another answer to the current problem was sought. 3. You helped us shape an institution that did not compromise with the idea but steadily increased its efforts to prepare young men and women for service to mankind. It has been an experience filled with misunderstandings, but also one filled with attempts to clear up those misunderstandings. Because of your consistent efforts to express yourself, you have helped us to look at the educational process more seriously than ever before, and we are grateful for that opportunity be- cause meaningful change increases our probability of success as a growing educational institution. You have done something for us and we have done something for you. Your mind has been elasticized to embrace ideas old and new. Mankind can now be seen in terms of universal truths, you have developed an appreciation for those, and that which is different from you. You have learned that there is within you a magnificent that deserves expression; your finiteness can be seen in relationship to infiniteness and you have not wasted your time nor ours. The world is not your oyster, but it certainly is your challenge and Lin- coln has armed you with the tools with which to fight your dragons: a disciplined mind, a creative spirit and the will to win with honor and concern for others. c 5 Carl Alan Thomas
