PREFACE
51011
T
O the royal line of P h i again m u s t he bequeathed the distinguished achievement of producing an all-University Y e a r Book. N o t since 1923, when this
noble line of Phi published the " P A W " , had a first class annual been attempted until the sons of 1931, s u r m o u n t i n g t r e m e n d o u s financial difficulties occasioned by the depths of depression brought out the first " L I O N " . T h r e e classes
have come a n d gone since that time and none has had either the initiative or the
courage to tackle so huge a task. T h e men of "thirty-five", k n o w n h e r e a f t e r as
<I>AM accepted this, not only as their need, but also their duty.
Consider this annual, then, as a record in pictures of the history and achievements of a class, and the aid tendered that class by those men of the three classes
under them. T o those of us w h o responded to the lessons of knowledge f o u r years
ago, and who now willingly accept the challenge of the vicissitudes of life are due
the wreath and glory and honor hard w o n ; such as the high honors in scholarship, the establishment of Phi K a p p a Epsilon H o n o r a r y Society; the revival of the
N.A.A.C.I'., and the motivation of that organization into a p o w e r f u l race-conscious
group, the first m a j o r Inter-Collegiate Inter-racial conference held on a N e g r o
college campus and many other accomplishments to be found elsewhere in the
pages of this book.
N o more fitting quotation can be f o u n d other than this p a r a g r a p h f o u n d in
the " P A W " of 1923 :
"Virile as the stalwart maples that grace o u r campus, strong as the stones
made sacred by tradition ; with minds trained as we sat under learned m a s t e r s ;
with h e a r t s attuned to the problems, injustices and sufferings of an imperfect
h u m a n i t y ; effervescing with the y o u t h f u l joy and enthusiasm of living responsive to a seriousness of purpose we go. H a p p i e s t of all days have been those
in which we lingered midst the scenes and influences of the Lincoln spirit.
T h e association with school mates, faculty and alumni will f o r e v e r linger
in the g a r d e n of memories. N o w t h a t our j o u r n e y here is finished, we set
f o r t h the results of the glorious class in this book."

CLASS ADVISER
Rev. SAMUEL A. DICKEY, A.M.
Interwoven in the history of
Lincoln University and its many
years of unparalleled service to
Negro youth is the name and
work of Dickey. The University
was founded as Ashmun Institute by John Miller Dickey in
1854, and today, eighty-one
years after, a descendant of this
pioneer, Samuel Dickey, can be
found, giving service of an unselfish and high quality, and
devoting himself and efforts to
f u r t h e r the c a u s e of N e g r o
education.
S. D I C K E Y
W e are happy to present him
as our Class Adviser.

Phi Lambda Mu your praise we'll sing
We've held high the banner that bears your name,
Onward and upward Phi Lambda Mu,
W e are your sons royal and true.
Deep in our hearts you'll always remain,
Unmeasured in truth the honor you claim,
So hail and farewell Phi Lambda Mu,
T o you and our college careers.
Hail! hail! Phi Lambda Mu,
Farewell, dear Lincoln, and you.
Class Poem
Shall we be doomed to walk always
Forever begging Thee;
Shall we be doomed to count our days
With hands stretched out to see
If we can end by song and praise
Our hopeless destiny?
Lord shall we be content and lie
Here trodden by the rest;
Or shall we face Life's wail and cry
Denied the precious best;
Or must we yield this cause and die
With hope still in our breast.
No, not by chance—no shall we wait
'Till all we hold so dear,
Lies wasted, crushed and desolate.
Shed not another tear—
No longer wait the moves of fate—
No more be curbed by fear.
With our own hands we'll grasp our star:
Tread where no mortals trod.
Then stand like mighty Hamilcar
When on Phoenician sod—
He placed his deeds at heaven's b a r —
Then councilled with his God.

Every tree on the campus green;
And for thee with our might
W e will ever toil,
That thou mayest be supreme,
We'll raise thy standard to the sky
Mids't glory and honor to fly,

SEMINARY HISTORY
History
of the Graduating Class of
Seminary
When the gong in the belfry of the Mary Dod Brown Memorial Chapel
sounded on the memorable September evening in 1932, summoning the "sons of
Lincoln" to action, the Theological Department responded with a Junior Class
twelve strong. This marked a banner year, for this was the largest class enrolled
in that department during the decade.
T o some of these men, Lincoln with its rolling hills and wooded knolls was
a thing of delight; while to the others, former sons of Lincoln, it meant an extended retreat to seclusion.
The first real task came in getting acquainted, both with the faculty and fellow students. Then the expression of theological views and difficulties which we
have now learned to leave unsettled. Gradually we learned to know each other
better and definite steps were taken towards organization. Little of any worth
was done in a spectacular way, during our Junior year.
The places left vacant by Luke Beard and H. Parks Williams were soon filled
by the entrance of H. G. Lee and B. A. Patterson. These men swung into line with
the class, contributing much to its welfare. Mr. Hooks, our philosopher, continued
to be the center of attraction in all classes and further extended his territory "sitting in at every public meeting", seeking what he might devour. W e have no fear
that he will ever be considered a dead-head.
The class as a whole showed marked improvement during this year, the men
taking active part in all campus activities. W e did, at times, tire of hearing Dean
Johnson and Prof. Miller ask "where's Kicld?" This year again came to a close
bringing us to a realization that the "cold world" stood just a year ahead of us.
A s we entered into our senior year we felt the strain of duty upon us. Now
was the time for us to make true all our boasts of former days. The biggest
burden fell on our seminary play-boy R. E. Thompkins who was elected president
of the Synod. The first work of the class was to persuade the department to adopt
a standard key. Plans were then made for Commencement toward which every
man looks with high hope. Beverly Ward and Levi Moore, during the year, were
called tf> supply charges in 1 larrisburg and New Jersey respectively. From all reports they are doing well.
W e are about to commence our career at an eventful crisis in our country's
history and amid agitations over the earth which reach the very foundations of the
social structure. Men's hearts need to be stirred and their energies need to be
aroused. More than ever the directing and sanctifying power of Christ's gospel is
needed; more than ever before there is a great demand for good ministers; we
must be more than mere men of routine and tradition. We must be able to rise to
the heights of the important questions which are moving the cultivated minds, and
of those which are agitating the conscience and hearts of the multitude. We must
be loyal to truth and God; we must, in this land, be men who can adjust our labors
to the new conditions around us, with the boldness of all that is good and new, and
the moderation which conserves all that is useful and sacred.

The oldest Greek letter secret order on Lincoln's campus, Nu chapter of Alpha
Phi Alpha Fraternity, has continued the effort to uphold those ideals to which it is
pledged. The chapter was founded on November 22, 1912 in the face of a strongfaculty opposition to student secret organizations. Indeed, several members of the
chapter were suspended when their connection with the fraternity became known.
It is of significance that only as a result of the work of the chapter and the scholarship of its members was faculty recognition finally granted. The above picture
represents a grouping of men bound together by common ties, individuals genuinely interested in self-betterment and desirous of cultivating to the highest degrees those talents which they possess.
A l w a y s desirous of creating and maintaining amicable relations among the
various fraternal orders on the campus, the brothers of Nu have taken definite
steps forward in that direction and thus paved the way for a policy of reciprocity
which may yet effect a mutual attitude of Friendship and respect. Nu chapter
faces forward.

The Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity was founded at Indiana University, January
5. 1911 and was incorporated on April 15, 1911 under Indiana State Laws. This
was the first Negro fraternity to he incorporated. The Fraternity was founded
upon the realization that the College,—a valuable and efficient agency for the education of youth—did not fully and adequately meet all of the needs of its students,
and that another institution, the Fraternity, could share with the college the task
of moulding the life and welfare of Negro youth.
Epsilon Chapter was established at Lincoln University, December 4, 1915.
This chapter exists under the jurisdiction of the Grand Chapter. National and
local projects such as the Guide Right Week Movement and the Freshman Oratorical Contest are a part of the annual program of this chapter.
The Freshman Oratorical Contest, sponsored by the local chapter, is to encourage students to develop their speaking ability. A Silver Loving Cup and Gold
Medal are given to the winners of the first and second prizes respectively.
Through these and other varied activities the fraternity affords the opportunities to obtain the proper guidance and educational advantages, as well as the social
graces and embellishments which fit men for participation in the society of cultivated men.

Growth, not primarily in numbers, but in calibre, has been the fundamental
characteristic of our organization on the campus for the last three years. From
a small group of men in 1931 whose unflagging devotion to the high ideals of
Sigma has been their greatest monument, we have increased to twenty-one in 1935.
Scholarship, leadership; dignity and alertness to the problems facing us as a group,
and in a bigger sense, as a race, have been some of the more intangible yet invaluable assets we have acquired.
To be sure, the years have not been marked by ease; they often meant struggle of one nature or another; economic, political, inward conflicts as to whether following the herd or travelling the narrow path of ideals should be the dominant
factor in our outlook. Ideals won. W e are glad, and we move off the local arena
confident that those upon whose shoulders shall fall the burden of carrying the
banner of Sigma shall not fail to justify the confidence placed in them by us.

Beta Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity was established on Lincoln's campus in February, 1914, during the first conclave. Omega has always boasted with
pride of her worthy sons at Beta.
The brothers have done well in scholastic attainment with a goodly number
of brothers making honor groups. Aside from this fact in football, basketball,
track, boxing and wrestling, or as team managers, the men of Beta Chapter have
upheld themselves with no little skill. Throughout all of the classes men of the
chapter can lie found lending their cooperation or helping influence.
Socially the men of the chapter have not lagged behind, and this year staged
a cabaret dance which will long be remembered by the brothers and their guests.
T o the brothers left behind, and the men in the Lampodas Club with pride we
pass the torch. "Be it yours to hold it high", and may the light of ()mega forever
shine upon the campus as it does within our hearts.

Phi Kappa
Epsilon
Phi Kappa Epsilon is the most recent addition to the ranks of the Greek letter
fraternities in the University. Founded just one year ago this spring, it has, in
that time, become like the apple of Tantalus, the goal for which many strive but
few attain. Its inception at Lincoln was brought about because of a recognition of
the need for a high scholarship organization. The four men who dreamed and
forged that dream into an actuality as its charter members are, Alfred Walker,
Harold barrel 1, Joseph Anderson and James Robinson—the last named becoming
its first president. ()ne month later six juniors and four seniors made the coveted
marks which made them eligible for membership. Since it was patterned after
4>BK, the National Honorary Fraternity the requirements are equal to those of
the chapters in many colleges.
This year, seven other men, through their high scholarship and ability were
awarded the shingle and key which the)- had won. The organization has set on
foot plans to insure a permanent organization whose minimum requirements can
not be lowered, and secondly the Y . M. C. A. Cabinet will award the keys to all
who attain the scholastic standing in their junior and senior years. Already the
purpose of stimulating scholarship and accurate research is bearing fruit.

History of Beta Kappa Chi
Beta Kappa Chi was founded in 1922 by a group of Lincoln University students interested in various scientific fields who felt the need of a closer bond which
would give them common ideals and aims. Realizing that this was to be a select
group the scholarship requirements were very high and consequently the number
of men in the chapter was very small. This precept has been and always will be
rigidly adhered to in order that membership in the society will be recognized as a
signal honor.
Our Society was so successful and stimulated so much interest in science on
our campus that a movement was started to establish chapters at other schools. A t
the time Negro colleges had no national scientific society although most of the
Grade A schools did have individual societies. Accordingly these schools were
invited to affiliate themselves with Beta Kappa Chi and the Alpha Chapter was
established here. Howard University, West Virginia State, Virginia Union
Morgan College, John C. Smith and Lincoln University of Missouri accepted an
invitation to set up chapters at their institutions and this was immediately done.
This was a distinct step forward since we were supplying a very pertinent n e e d supplying a national organization whose standards would be high, and which would
give students in Negro schools the same recognition which was accorded members
of the national scientific society, Sigma Xi.

track season consisted of three track m e e t s : P e n n Relays, H a m p t o n Meet and the
C.I.A.A. meet at H o w a r d . I n our first contest we were represented in the P e n n

out of first place in the mile relay by Villanova in the fast time of 3 min. 26 sees.
At the H o w a r d and H a m p t o n meets we won second place. I n the mile relay
at the C.I.A.A. o u r team made a new record of 3 min. 28 sees., without being
pushed. T h i s season Coach J o n e s started the m e n w o r k i n g immediately a f t e r the
weather broke. W e h a v e f o u r meets this season in which to gather o u r laurels.
T h e y are the P e n n Relays, a t r i a n g u l a r meet with M o r g a n and H o w a r d at Baltimore, the H o w a r d meet and the C.I.A.A. meet at H a m p t o n .

A f t e r defeating Howard University 7 — 6 in 1931, which closed a season of
nine victories and one defeat, our football record has not been so impressive.
W e have lost all of our major games in the last three years.
During the early training for the 1934 football season, we had high hopes
for a winning team under the guidance of our two new coaches, M. Rivero and
C. Jones. But due to financial and scholastic troubles a number of the veterans
were declared ineligible, leaving only five veterans, and a number of inexperienced sophomores and freshmen and a new system. The coaching staff worked
hard and achieved a fighting aggregation to start the season off with victories
over Wissahickon Boys' Club and Cheyney Teachers' College. But the winning
streak came to an end and we lost the remaining games on our schedule.
Captain Coleman, Bergen, Watts, W a r d , Baskerville, DesVerney, Manager
F. Day and Trainer Allen are the members of our class who through so many
unfortunate conflicts nevertheless carried with high hopes the Orange and the
Blue.

It's too late to worry about the adequacy of your insurance—
or its dependability. The time to think about that is before
a fire occurs.
Have you enough fire insurance and can you count on prompt
and fair settlement in the event of a fire? Your agent can
help vou answer " Y e s " to both these important questions.
