G R E E T I N G S T O T H E CLASS OF 1931

T h e greatest reward that can come to the teacher is to watch the development of the stu-dent in mind and character in his college days , and then to learn that in the broader area of life he has so acquitted himself as to fulfil the promise of his youth.

Our wish for the Class of Nineteen Thirty-one is that your lives may continue to be en-

riched by the friendships you have formed here; that you may cherish throughout life the mem-

ories of Alma Mater and find refreshment of spirit in returning often to her sacred soil; that

you may be loyal to her highest traditions and add lustre to her name.

M a y the dreams of college days be fulfilled in the experiences of later 3'cars ; may the train-ing you have received at Lincoln University help you to solve the problems and surmount the difficulties and perform the tasks that will meet you in l i fe; and may the fiery and cloudy pillar of a gracious Providence lead each member of the class into some Promised Land of happiness and achievement and success !

H I S T O R Y of the U N I V E R S I T Y

Lincoln University was founded by John

Miller Dickey in 1853, being the result of his

keen interest in the Negro and his generous

vision of their future possibilities. In 1854

the Legislature of Pennsylvania granted a

charter f o r Ashman Institute, named after

Jehudi Ashman, the reorganizer of the colony

of Liberia. In 18(5(5 the name was changed

to Lincoln University, which was thus the

pioneer institute in the world for the higher

education of the Negro.

The school is located on the Baltimore Pike, between Philadelphia and Baltimore, easily accessible, likewise, to New York and Washington.

In 1922 the college was admitted as a fully accredited college by the Association of Col-

leges and Preparatory Schools of the Middle States and Maryland. Its degree is accepted for a teacher's certificate by the educational authorities of Pennsylvania, New York , and other states; as well as for the necessary re-quirement to the study of higher professions and business. The Association of American Colleges admitted Lincoln University to mem-bership in 1927.

Lincoln University prides itself on the suc-cess attained by its graduates. In every walk of l i fe—as teachers, missionaries, ministers and professional men—there are a host of Lincoln men who are striving to lend their aid in building and promoting a better world in which to live. These men are fair examples of the study and intensive training received at Lincoln University.

A L M A Dear Lincoln, dear Lincoln,

T h y sons will e'er be true; The golden hours we've spent beneath

The dear old Orange and Blue; Will live fore'er in memory

As guiding stars through life; For thee, our Alma Mater dear,

We'll rise in our might. F o r we love every inch of thy sacred

soil,

Every tree on the campus green, And for thee with our mieht-w&'will ever

toil, •> |

T h a t thou niightest reign, supreme; We'll raise thy standards to the sky,

'Midst glory and honor to fly; And constant and true,

W e will live for thee anew, Our dear old Orange and Blue.

Read widely, think clearly, maintain and increase the culture gained in college days. Express your thoughts in simple, sincere, and beautiful English. P a y no price for success save honest work. No matter how much you earn, nor how little, save some of it for the rainy day. Spend nothing unless you get a return in positive increase of efficiency and usefulness. Guard as your chief treasure, your health of body, soundness of mind, and safety of soul. Expect difficulties and hard experi-ences, but rise above them to better things. Believe in yourself, your fellow-men, and your God; respect their rights and do your duties. A l w a y s remember that no mat-ter how well you may do anything, a better is always possible. Be a Meliorist.

PROFESSOR WALTER L. WRIGHT, Clans Advisor

A H I S T O R Y OF T H E CLASS OF '31

THEODORE F . W A L K E R , Historiographer

•SJVSL-S-IRM

npHE task of any historiographer is one enveloped in difli-A euities, particularly so, if his writings concern contem-

porary events In which he takes a definite part. In this position he is too readily Influenced by prejudice, bias, emo-tions, propaganda, and personal desires to impress the reader of the authenticity of the work. Therefore, if the following paragraphs manifest any decided leaning towards praise of Phi Delta Chi, please pardon me, but yet, look upon many of them as honest facts and upon the others as candid opinions.

The summer months of the year 1027 may be well regarded as the formative period of an Institution destined to become the great class of Phi Delta Chi. During this interim, there were no conventions, no wars, no formal declarations or decrees announcing the birth of this new organization; but rather there was a gradual and unseen rallying of the fu-

ture members of a great class to the trumpet call of the goddess Minerva. September 15, 1027, marked the formal convention of that body as an integral part of Lincoln Uni-versity. Pouring into this picturesque valley of Chester County with its rolling hills and wooded knolls came a horde of 110 strong with the desire for wisdom burning within them. This, I venture, was the chief intent and purpose.

In this Great Trek were men strong in their convictions that Lincoln was now at an advantage with the accretion of such a body of promising young men. But, as many now surviving may well remember and attest, this idea and many another haughty, self-important and egotistical atti-tude were soon dispelled from our minds under the most stern yoke of sophomore oppression and persecution. This leveling process had its genesis at the little railroad station,

8

wliere to our surprise and displeasure, we were greeted with sophomore trunks, bags and then some more trunks. We succumbed, but rather reluctantly, for, we who idealis-tically had come in honest <|iiest of knowledge and intel-lectual truth, found to our discomfiture something in the way of knowledge not to be found in textbooks.

Gradually, however, this goading became less and less offensive and more and more a tiling of the past. The Class of ','11 easily weathered the Initial storms of unadjust-ment and disorganization and made a definite step towards organization. Tills move was made manifest in a class election of oflicers. An unique plan of trial officers was adopted whereby it was hoped that a truly great leader would be found in a body meeting for the first time, .lerry Harmon, Pierce and Bradley were installed successively before it was decided by vote that Harmon would be the permanent chief executive of the year 1927-28.

Avery, Sheep Jackson, Harmon, Young, Sydnor, Pierce, Maliood, Hill Clark, La Mar and Allen answered the call for football material. They were determined to make good and they did. These men had braved the rabble of an older Lincoln. It had been conclusively proved to the upper-classmen, who more or less religiously believed that "preps," "dogs," or what you may, were not capable of making a Lincoln squad, that that day had forever passed.

When our first Howard-Lincoln game was just a few days away and when hazing seemed to be shelved for Thanksgiving Day preparations, our beloved sophomores secretly were planning a subjugtum in the form of the tra-ditional hair cut. Some escaped, but these were few in number, and many were forced to undergo this ordeal. Vet. despite this set-back, we backed the team and a good many baldheads were greatly admired by the fair sex oc-cupying the stands in Philadelphia 011 that Great Turkey Day.

In football, as well as in all the other sports, the number of classmates drawn upon for varsity sport participation was so great that intramural athletic glory was denied us for some time. We must admit the defeat handed us in our first Freshman-Sophomore Football Classic. Likewise, set-backs were suffered in intramural basketball, baseball and track.

In the late spring of that year, the annual debate between teams representing the Freshmen and Sophomore Classes spelt yet another defeat. Can we account for this reverse by saying that good debaters are few in number and that our best were fighting for the glory of Lincoln? We must give the above as an explanation, for Baskerville, Rogers, T. F. Hawkins, and F. A. I)e Costa were doing their bit for 'III via intercollegiate debating.

When tliis seemingly unsuccessful first year closed, the Class of '31 had established an enviable and unbeatable record in scholarship. Four of her sons attained for the year a First Honor Group rating, an achievement un-equalled in many a year. These men were De Costa, George Hunter, L. I). Johnson, and T. F. Walker. The Second Honor Group rating was conferred upon twenty others. Moreover, it can be truly said that Phi Delta Chi really demonstrated and definitely established her worth and use-fulness to this, our Alma Mater.

Sophomore days, days of revenge and self-assertion, ar-rived. It was now an opportunity to show our ascendancy. A change of executives occurred at the beginning of this, our second year. F. A. De Costa received the presidency, which office lie held for the next three years. Let his re-elections indicate his ability for leadership, his straight-forwardness, wisdom, tact, courage, and pleasing person-

j allty. Days of hazing are days of great fear of possible appre-

hension and we found it so much to our disgust. Eleven jolly sophomores became entangled in a faculty drag net. Sadly do we recall the days when the faculty, believing that rabbling had reached serious stages, determined to cast into the cold world eleven of our outstanding and noble classmates. Sadly do we all itecall the final appeal for mercy and for a reconsidering of that famous decree of expulsion, and that, when unable to move an unrelenting faculty, we threatened strike, which failing, we sheepishly

watched the fallen "gods" trek homeward alone. Yet it must be admitted that those few who had averted such a catastrophe were men who looked much ahead of that memorable day of tense feeling. Yet, again it is commend-able that, with such a handicap, seven of the eleven, having recovered lost ground, formed an important part of the graduating body of 1081.

Neither the Freshmen-Sophomore football game nor de-bate for this year were won by the mighty "gods," but rather by our "dogs." These defeats were most exasperat-ing. Yet, Plil Delta Chi is proud to boast of the main-tenance of the enviable record established the previous year in varsity sports. Moreover, in intramural track we were supreme.

Thus ended a year of strife, destruction and very little of construction.

The Junior Prom occupied the minds of all from Sep-tember through April of the year 1029-30. The cry was for a superb affair, outstripping all previous attempts. The scroll-form invitations were truly Indicative of its remark-able brilliancy. Ask any one so fortunate, as to have re-ceived a bid, what a rip-roaring success it was. Comus and Bacchus had surely placed their spell over the gathering. Alumni reluctantly admitted that the ball and the cabaret party that followed were the climax of all previous Junior Proms promoted by a class of Lincoln University.

Another outstanding achievement registered by us in tills year was our undisputed victory in the intramural track competition. We took everything and as usual we soon lost our stellar trackmen for the coach drafted Hughes, Archie Lewis, and Cissy Jackson as good varsity promises. The last-named draft victim must be reintroduced. Jackson, we are proud to shout, was the only four-letter varsity man in the entire student body and the only one since Coach Taylor, who, as an undergraduate, achieved the same dis-tinction.

At last longed-for senior days arrived, but with a great shrinkage in our numbers. Out of the 110 men matriculat-ing in 1027, scarcely 00 survived the ravages of time.

This history would be far from being complete if mention were not made of those who had engaged in intercollegiate athletics during one or more of the four years,

TRACK -Baskerville. Bradley, Bullock, Durnell, Lee, Syd-nor, Hughes, Wilson, Cissy Jackson.

FOOTBALL—Baskerville, Bullock, French, Hob Young, Harmon, Avery, Pierce, Allen, Sydnor, Maliood. Sheep Jackson, La Mar, Reed, Cissy Jackson, Hill Clarke, Hughes, Pickett.

BASKETBALL—De Costa, J. Hawkins, Reed, Hobson, Sydnor, Cissy Jackson.

BASEBALL- Harmon, I,. D. Johnson, Sheep Jackson, La Mar, Bill Clarke, French, Richards, Pierce, Maliood, Cissy Jackson.

SOCCER W. T. Walker, Hobson, Cunningham, .1. B. Smith, Reed, Baker.

On May l, 1031, we were royally entertained at the Junior Prom by our most capable hosts, the Junior Class '32. Yet I cannot truthfully state that this prom equalled ours.

After four long and arduous years of scholastics struggles amid keen competition, F. A. De Costa received the coveted award of Valedictorian of his class. The title of Saluta-torian was bestowed upon Theodore F. Walker.

Inevitably, college days swiftly pass imbued with fond memories, but our recollections will but slowly fade away. And so, here we arc in the last stages of college life eagerly awaiting our day of Commencement. Yet it is with the deepest regret that we realize we must filially leave these sacred walls. To some, college lias been a resting place for weary week-enders, to others a hermit's retreat; to still others, a place for preparation, but now a new vista has been opened unto all, a new avenue of approach lias been cut leading us over another rocky road of trials and tribu-lations, successes and failures to the summit of a Greater Enlightenment.

Behold 1 we are now facing a world in which problems must of necessity be solved. Are we prepared to travel ahead and discover a modus operandi? If we are, let us be sure to go and to return for the great reunion of 1911.

Af ter winning the Howard Open Meet, Coach Taylor's Tracketeers put the C. I. A . A. meet 011 the spot. Through some arrangement, there was per-

mitted to participate schools which did not have the affiliations with the C. I. A. A. Due to this intru-sion, our track team lost the meet by a mere four points. Such tilings will happen, for that is what the spice of life, its capriciousness.

Founders: Theodore Hawkins, David Bradley, Frank De Costa, Shirley Baskerville

Ernest Smith President Oscar Chapman Secretary

Edward Des Verncy - Vice-President Henry Whitlow - Treasurer

The Pan-Hellenic Council, Lincoln Univer-

sity's youngest organization, dates its exist-

ence from tlie early part of this past semes-

ter. A t that time, Messrs. Bradley, De

Costa, Hawkins and Baskerville, the presi-

dents of four undergraduate fraternities with

chapters on this campus, met and formulated

a constitution for the formation of the coun-

cil. This constitution was presented to and

accepted by the four fraternities and on

March 1, 1931, the members of the council

met and held the first formal meeting. The

officers were elected at that meeting with the

following results: President, Ernest Smith;

vice-president, Edward DesVernev ; secretary,

Oscar Chapman; treasurer, Henry Whit low;

publicity director, Furman Templeton. Mr.

Dorsey is the faculty advisor. The remain-

ing students, members of the council, are

Clarence Shelton, Ernest Perkins, Howard

Nash, Leroy Gibson, Horace Woodland,

Robert Cooper and Francis Jackson.

A committee was appointed, with Wood-land as chairman, to revise and enlarge the constitution. This committee faithfully and ably discharged its duties and as a result, the council is now ready to begin exercising its authority when school opens in Septem-ber.

The members of the council are elated over the success of its first venture, namely the handling of the last student elections for the officers of the athletic associations and assistant managerships.

Although the council was formed primar-ily to correct certain evils connected with the rushing and pledging of candidates, to improve relations between each member fra-ternity, and the university authorities. The members of the council earnestly hope that its influence will be felt in all phases of life on the campus and they are asking each Lin-coln man to co-operate as fully as possible, so that the future success of the council may be assured.
