As we go forth from this 475 acres of beautiful rolling Chester hills, it is only befitting that we take with us some reminder of those past four years that have been so saturated with pleasant memories. And so we of the Lion staff have tried to produce a yearbook that may be looked upon, by all, ten years from now with fond recollections and sadness of heart. With this aim we have constructed an annual in the thought that actions speak louder than words and one picture is worth a thousand words. This world into which we march will be filled with disappointments, struggle, hardships, and evil. But if we, as Lincoln Men, strive hard, using all that these past years have given unto us, we shall rise above all these. Four packed years of Lincoln has taught us, at least, that strength of mind, body, and soul is to be cherished far above riches for:
"The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
"Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap: which neither have storehouse or barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
"And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
"If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
"Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
"If then God so clothe the grass, whis is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
"And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
"For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
"BUT RATHER SEEK YE THE KINGDOM OF GOD; and all these things shall be added unto you." Si. Luke 12:23-31

Four GLADIS RENWICK
We, the members of the senior class dedicate this year book to Mrs. Gladis Renwick, who is better known as "Ma" Renwick to those who have learned to love her.
Our choice is based on her devotion to our class throughout our four years at Lincoln. She has trained us in her indirect fashion to appreciate the refectory and its function. She has added to that pretty head of gray hair many strands because of our class's unthoughtfulness, and still loves us as though we were her own.
One must remember that her job could easily be a desk job, but she has in her little way, wished to contribute her personal and warm interest to us.
It is our wish that the dedication to her of our yearbook will serve to show our sincere appreciation and thus give her strength to continue her guidance of the men of Lincoln who are to return in the following years.

PRESIDENT of the UNIVERSITY
To THE CLASS OF 1952
DEAR FRIENDS:
It gives me a warming tingle from tip to toe to address you as "Friends," and to know that you are my very good friends. In these modern high-pressure days, "Old Prexy," in any institution, is likely to be the very epitome of the friendless soul; battered, beaten, despised and rejected of men.
HORACE This is only his just deserts; and the fact that you have shown kindly considerateness to the one who rightly is the pariah on every MANN campus, leads me to nominate each and every one of you for mem' bership in the Society for the Alleviation of Cruelty to College Presidents and Other Dumb Animals. BOND With your membership in this exclusive club, goes also a warrant that will admit you to the broadest possible circle of all men and women of kind, gentle, and humane heart, everywhere in the world. In your future careers, I know you will seek,-—with infinite tact and long-sulfering patience—" ... to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God!"
I can wish no better future for my very best friends—the members of the Lincoln University Class of 1952. May God Bless You, One and All! Sincerely, HORACE M. BOND

WHO KNOWS BUT YOU ARE CHOSEN— 1952!
One hears everywhere that we are living in troublous times. One reads daily of the need for men of character, of stout faith and noble courage, for civic, National and International duty in high office. One sees the pictures and write-ups on Lincoln University men, chosen for high positions, some failing, most—thank God—proving equal to the challenge of their lofty trust. One sees in "Time" and other leading magazines, together with the daily Press, of the confidence placed in Lincoln men like those who are doing such excellent work in solving problems involving human need, and in interpreting to all intelligent and just people the rights and hopes of HAROLD unfavored populations. This proves, in poignant picture, that Lincoln men can and do exercise their leadership in times such as this. This proves that great things are F. expected of new groups of Lincoln men. We are reminded of the Biblical setting with the challenge "Who knows but you are chosen for such a time as this? You have been storing up, we feel sure, confidence; you have been GRIM strengthening your faith and courage to meet the problems needing solution in our speeding, but confused, civilization. One feels certain that along with these basic qualities you have received the inspiration so ncessary, from your Alma Mater, from God. One breathes assurance that you will join the vast Lincoln leadership—distributed World-wide out of all proportion to Lincoln's size. One looks to the future to see and read of your faithful, constructive efforts, doing every assignment nobly.
Yes, you are chosen—1952—for such a time as this. You must not
fail—yoU must not shirk this challenge as the World awaits you with hopeful confidence in your divinely supported power. H. F. GRIM
Ten To MEMBERS OF THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1952
My dear Friends:
So you, too, have come to the point of graduation! It must not he a "point of no return" as one national cynic called it. Personally, I have always preferred the word commencement to the word gradu- J- ation. It seems to suggest the beginning rather than the end, and that is the way I feel you should look upon the events which are NEWTON about to center around your lives. Winston Churchill phrased a term which might be used here with fitting emphasis. In referring to that point of World War II HILL which marked the initiative for our allies, he said "This is not the beginning of the end, but it is the end of the beginning." Today I feel similarly about this course of events for you. Your "beginning" today does mark the end of childhood, of childish ways and the beginning, I hope, of true manhood with its broadening and gratifying responsibilities as well as attainments. Most of you will make this important "beginning" a normal transition in your lives. Some few may make the change with diffi- culty. They are the men whom I may list as Lincoln's eternal sopho- mores. They will return to the campus in 1992, to rabble. It has been a joy to work with you.
Sincerely, J. NEWTON HILL

DEAN of the SEMINARY
SEMINARY GRADUATES OF 1952:
You have had the experience of serving your country in a great conflict, and then coming back to college and seminary to train for serving your God. Your days of military service brought you a deep ANDREW sense of comradeship with those who shared your toil and danger, but you have now entered upon a new comradeship with those who E. will work shoulder to shoulder with you in building the Kingdom of God. In this conflict of righteousness you will face even more MURRAY peril and temptation than you ever faced in combat, and in this struggle there is no truce nor armistice. You must arm yourselves with an absolue faith in your Leader, and look to Him for guidance and for strength. Those who have gone before you salute you and assure you that your cause can never be lost or stayed. Your comrades here at Lincoln pledge to you their unfailing interest and prayers. May the Lord be with you as you take your stand for Him.

It has been said that one of the marks of an educated man is, "He cross examines his day dreams."
It is probably true that no man succeeds beyond his dreams, but it is also patent that one's dreams must not be beyond the realm of the possibility of achievement. Day dreams may be the misty, muddled meditations of a meandering mind or through the discipline achieved by the cross examining process that may become the intuitive JAMES intellectual instances of an integrative imagination.
The psychiatrists have warned us that day dreaming which is B. idle fancy is the sort of flight from reality which is to be avoided But flights of the imagination which extend the flying ceiling to its utmost MacRAE yet soar within the realms of probability of achievement are to be encouraged.
Your training and experience here at Lincoln has probably provided you with the kind of imaginative intellect which broadens your horizon of your possibilities of becoming.
It is my wish for you that you will not be satisfied with one whit less than your fondest dreams indicate that you may become.
"If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; ..."

The tradition of drama at Lincoln has endured through the years withstanding the ups and down that are encountered in a small school like Lincoln and emerged this year in a new and inspired role, that of providing favorable publicity for Lincoln University through the eastern seaboard. For this year has brought the realization to our campus that we should not confine our talent to the immediate area. This year the Lincoln University Players presented "John Loves Mary." Staged and produced by Abram Hill, director of dramatics, the production sparkled for three successive nights on campus to a capacity house. The M.G.M. film star, Ruby Dee turned in an excellent performance in the lead role on campus and quite captivated the audience, both female as well as male. Miss Arden Hill, daughted of Dean and Mrs. J. Newton Hill, carried excellently the role of Mary for the road tour. The "Players" also came through with a memorial production of the Hasty Heart this year, and of course we all remember Leftwich, Hill, Woolford, and Giles in "Home of the Brave" in '48, to say nothing of » Gloria Daniels and Sarkins in "Golden Boy" in 49, or "Julius Caesar" on the Round, arena style with Haynes, Ballot, and Warden in '51.

As we say goodbye to another group of them we know that they will also go forth and continue to uphold these traditions and precepts. "AND LOVE FOR ALL MANKIND" To further these and the many other high stan- INC. dards of Alpha and to honor those who have made notable contributions to mankind Alpha has a Medallion Award, given annually to an outstanding humanitarian. "COLLEGE DAYS SWIFTLY PAST IMBUED WITH MEMORIES FOND" The last year has given us memories of the Pan- Hellenic Ball, our Intra-mural Sports Teams and many other events.

Sixty BETA SIGMA TAU
The end of World War II brought about the tradi' tional influx of students to American colleges and uni' versities. Many veterans and others who had shared the experience of men of all nationalities, races and religions BETA living, working, and dying together, decided that all people can live and work together. They met, with thirteen interested groups representing colleges and uni- versities throughout the country, at Roosevelt College SIGMA in Ohio on the 30th of April, 1948. This was the begin- ning of a new, interracial, intercultural and intercollegiate fraternity to be called Beta Sigma Tau.
To be sure many of us here at Lincoln felt as did our TAU founding fathers. They combined their efforts and founded a chapter of this infant fraternity here at Lincoln in April of 1949, dedicating themselves to its ideals and pledging their all to its furtherance.
It has been our desire to nourish and assist in the actual growth of our young fraternity. It is toward this end that we have given of ourselves. After three years of existance as local chapter we find ourselves still grow- ing with increasing faith in our motto, Equality, Under- standing, and Unity.
Sixty-one KAPPA ALPHA PSI
Kappa Alpha Psi was founded some forty years Kappa ago on the campus of the University of Indiana as Kappa Alpha Nu. A few years hence its name was changed to Kappa Alpha Psi. It is one of the older Alpha Negro fraternities which too has become interracial in the last few years.
Epsilon Chapter has been functioning on Lincoln's Psi campus since 1914. And has been striving as does the fraternity to obtain for its members all the benefits which accrue from participation in a modern college brotherhood.
The fundamental purpose of Kappa Alpha Psi is Achievement. Some highlights of Epsilon's- achievement program these past years were our Annual Freshman Oratorical Contest, a gala Fresh- man Smoker, Guide Right Week and a Kappa Karnival Week-end on Campus.

Sixtytwo PHI BETA SIGMA Phi MU CHAPTER
Founded on the principles of "Culture for Service Beta —Service for Humanity"—the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity was chartered on the campus of Howard University, Washington, D. C. in the year 1914. Sigma Mu Chapter was founded on our campus in May, 1922.
The programs promoted by the Fraternity are "Bigger and Better Business" Social Action, and the study of foreign affairs. In 1922 the Fraternity was instrumental in initiating Inter-Fraternal rela- tions on a national scale. Mu Chapter for the past four years, in addition to its regular Fraternal pro- gram sponsored the annual Sigma Day Concert composed of young artists.
Sigma has participated in the reorganized Pan- Hellenic Counsel on Fraternal affairs as well as, the gala Pan-Hellenic week-end socials.
In retrospect, Mu chapter in chorus with our PLEDGEE CLUB founders of old say, "Our cause speeds on its way."
Sixtythree OMEGA PSI PHI
The worth of Omega Psi Phi can be summed up in the words of Grant Reynolds, Grand Basileus of the fraternity, as he states: "It is estimated, that in the forty-year history of Omega its ideals have attracted nearly 17,000 men. Coming from all parts of the nation, these men consider it a great honor and a rare privilege to wear Omegas emblem of brotherhood." The fraternity founded on the avowed principles of Scholarship, Manhood, Perseverance and Uplift in 1911. Its second chapter, Beta, has done its utmost to further these principles at Lincoln University. Boasting of eleven graduating seniors in the class of '52, Beta is presently holding forth with a membership of thirty-seven brothers. Looking forward to an even more successful future on this campus we of Beta ask that you of the graduating class remember always that "Friendship is God's gift to Lincoln and brotherhood means true salvation."

Big Jim Cooke was one of L.U.'s most versatile athletes in the last 10 years. As a freshman, he was awkward, but by his junior year "Cookie" was on the ball, basket, and every CIAA keyman's mind. Long Bob Smith could always be counted upon to play a beautiful game. His corner shot caused many challenging teams to fall to pieces, and lists him as one of the Lions most important hoopsters. Cool Conrad Gaskins improved tremendously during his stay at Lincoln. "Fingers" would have helped us cage a championship had the Marines not fowled him first. Calculating Lloyd Thornhill was one of the Lions best captains. With his "Baby Steps" he maintained dominancy over the opponents floor defenses. Pictured on the opening page is our own Fighting Deurward Hughes who's drive and spunk as forward gave many gray hairs to those offensive ball carriers. "Dcurdy" was always in there a-rushing and a-howling.
The basketball picture was not so rosy. With only 3 lettermen returning, and a host of gifted freshmen, the Lion basketball season showed the signs concomitant of a rebuilding year. The difficulty of molding inexperienced freshmen and integrating them with one or two returning varsity men into a smooth operating quintet was obvious as the season's record indicated 7 won and 14 lost for a overall record and 4 won and 9 lost for a conference record.

With a strong field and sprint team together with men doubling up to fill the middle distance races, they held Westchester down to a meager seven point lead and the next few days found them making themselves known at Seton Hall and Penn Relay Carni- vals. While half the team rested for the weekend with Howard, Morgan, and North Carolina, the remaining squad walked away from Delaware's team by fifty-one points. Moving into a second place 'in Howard University's quadrangle meet, the Lincoln speedsters fought on to place third in the C.I.A.A. Champion- ships the following weekend at Morgan. During this meet Teddy Ellis broke the long standing high jump record of 6'4", made by another Lincoln Lion in 1939, with a jump of 6'63/t". The rabble meet held at Lincoln proved that if more of Lincoln's athletes would come back to the conders the C.I.A.A. will see a team next year that will indeed give Morgan's Hurt a few gray hairs.
