to all seniors: The Philosopher, Decartes says of the mind that, “it is immaterial; it is conscious, and it is characterized by thinking.” If the mind is characterized by thinking then your level of succss in the world will be de- pendent upon how well you have developed your thought processes during your tenure here at Lincoln University. The educational process will not end when you receive your degree, instead you will find that it is merely the beginning of a life wherein you will face new challenges. Life will offer many mountains, but there will also be a corresponding number of valleys. If you intend to reach the mountaintop successfully, then you must constantly think of ways to associate your ideas, experiences and knowledge so that once you leave the valley you will have the necessary foundation to sustain you at the height of your plateau. It is my sincere hope that every member of this class will find success in life, and that the experience of having been a member of the undergraduate student body of Lincoln University has been rewarding and Educational. 5 Floyd H. Flake, Associate Dean of Students

from the dean of students . . THE LINCOLN UNIVERSITY Office of the Dean of Students October 24,1972 The need for well educated men and women of all races is still one of the great human concerns at home and abroad. You have manifested your concern by completing the requirements for the undergraduate degree at Lincoln; and by so doing, you have added your personal contribution to the human resources of our country and the world. It would seem as though that might be all one asks of you but that is not so. You have many added responsibilities: 1. You must continue your intellectual growth and maturation. 2. You must find greater ways to eliminate human suffering. 3. You must add to the cumulative knowledge of the world. 4. You must make freedom a reality in our time. 5. You must seek out opportunities to make constructive change and extend yourself to those less fortunate than yourself. These are not new requests for the educated and the enlightened, but they represent basic issues of man- kind that unite all men and women in a continuing process of trying to make the world a better place in which to live. I am pleased that we can add your heart, hands and minds to this enormous task. 4
