THE SENIOR CLASS PRESENTS Foreword Lincoln University is a great university and fortunately a dissatisfied one. Realizing the changing conditions in the world this Lincoln University in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has been catapulted, as has the rest of the nation, into the Nucleur Age. Recent developments in the world such as the emergence of new sovereign states in Africa, events in which Lincoln has played a most significant role, the Crisis in Laos, the Sit-ins, the election of John F. Kennedy and the threat of megaton bombs have concatneated this state of transition into our minds. We the Class of '62 are ready to accept the fullest responsibility of citizenship by forming concerted opinion on public policy and by active participation in community affairs. Lincoln has taught us this--the basic concern and the give and take of life. We fully realize the enormity of these tasks that lie before us and to shirk them would be unthinkable. The motto on our founding stone symbolizes our training for leadership and our realization of our past, our present and our future. To this motto we remain dedicated . "The Night is Far Spent and The Day is at Hand." 4 Tfflbfc of uhiMi Foreword Dedication Administration John Crowder Donald McMeans Faculty John Crowder Donald McMeans Seniors Sidney C.

Marcum In the social, political, religious and educational aspects of life, the 1960's have opened up avenues to various aspirations. As a class cognizant of these avenues and the challenges they present, we are proud of the heritage we have imbibed during our years of study in Lincoln, and are equally proud to dedicate our Yearbook to a man full of aspirations for the future as we are. Dr. Marvin Wachman was appointed to the Presidency of Lincoln University in July 1961. At forty-five, he represents the youthful spirit of the sixties and the desire to do all he can to enhance the ideals for which Lincoln stands. Take a close look at the man Marvin Wachman. Next take a tour of the various establishments on campus and notice the pace the various renovations are going on. You will be compelled to admit that he is just the right man at the right time and in the right place. To a man faced with the challenges of an institution growing each day, we the class of 1962 dedicate a future full of many achievements. In one way or the other our aims are identical and so we have no doubt that he will continually be equal to the task, just as we intend to apply our gains in Lincoln for the betterment of the world we are about to face. 6 To the Class of 1962 The graduates of this fine institution have gone into positions of leadership in many fields, both in the United States and abroad. They have brought recognition to Lincoln University far beyond that which its size would anticipate. There is no doubt that you graduates of the Class of 1962 will take your places in the local, national, and inter- national communities as good citizens and leaders. You are being called upon to in- volve yourselves in more varied tasks than any pervious class at Lincoln University. Not only are there expanded opportunities for graduates of Lincoln, but there is a pressing need on the part of your nation for your services. This means that you will follow the tradition of Lincoln men who have gone on to positions of service and of eminence in fields such as medicine, the ministry, educa- tion, law, business, and government service. This means, too, that you will lead the most interesting, active lives possible. We all wish you the best of luck in finding a rich, full life and a career of service for yourselves and your families. In some quarters one hears a good deal about how modern society is doomed, that it is not solving its problems, and that its people are rootless and aimless. It is very good to note that the prophets of doom have found little reception in the Class of 1962 whose members have been too busy seeking answers to difficult questions, engaging in important activities, and preparing for the future, to bemoan any hypothetical fate assigned to them. I deem it a privilege to have known you during the past year and to have engaged in good discussion with many of you. You have contributed to a healthy ferment on the campus, and I trust that you will do the same in your communities and in your nation. You are the first graduating class in my career at Lincoln University. I shall always feel a special attachment to the Class of 1962, and we all hope that you will come back and visit us often. MARVIN WACHMAN President 7 Our Advisor Dr. John A. Marcum, a graduate of Stanford University and former professor of Political Science at Colgate University, comes to Lincoln well qualified to fill the new position of Director of African Affairs. He was a staff associate of the Hoover In- stitute's Program of Overseas Development and a research scholar in French North Africa. Dr. Marcum has found no difficulty adopting to the unique atomsphere of Lin- coln University. He is a hard worker and is always willing to give meaningful advice to inquiring students. Possessed with great energy and a winsome personality, this versatile individual is an embodiment of the new frontier ideas of Lincoln University. Dr. Marcum's frankness and savoir faire earns for him much respect by the student body; especially the Senior class with which he is closely connected. As we leave the portals of these gates, we shall always remember him as friend, counselor, and teacher. In our year of decision he has been our captain guiding our ship safely on its journey to that day when we reach our destination and walk through the Arch of Lincoln University for the last time in our undergraduate life. Dr. Marcum our gratitude and most sincere thanks. 8 VttiCOLv UNIVERSITY -"''•agbgaJKu Administration i • • • V> CAMERA SHY FRANK J. DOWD LEROY JOHNSON Vice President Dean of the College JAMES B.

There were times when it appeared that our carefully laid plans were never to reach fulfillment. However, due to the constant and energetic efforts of our Class President, Donald McMeans, Sidney Adams, Donald Green and a host of others, we are able to present a yearbook that we hope you will enjoy. It is the wish of the Yearbook staff that this book will serve as a portal to the ocean of fond memories that we shared at Dear Lincoln U.
