King verdict and its dire aftermath wereaddressed in the remarks of the Presidentand the honorary degree recipients. "Howironic and distressing it is to make theseawards," said President Sudarkasa. " . . . topersons who have been leaders in thefight for justice and equality... at a timewhen we have been reminded so vividlyand tragically that justice still eludes theblack man in America."

#lio would have thought that battlesfought some 25 years ago would have tobe fought again today?" asked GovernorWilder, who deplored both the verdictand the rioting. "We looked with dread atwhat we saw last week, when a jury foundguilty people not guilty... but thattemporary setback should be no cause forus to lose our composure and go off intothat never-never land of despair... to paythat ultimate price of ignorance—and thatis brutality—by resorting to the streets . . .We are not in the streets, we are herelearning, we will do what is right, demandwhat is right, and criticize what it wrong."

He pointed to the nation's need for

leadership in the proper direction andanswers to the issues of education, thehomeless, and unemployment. "This(injustice) will not endure because Wewill make it different," he told thegraduates. "Believe in yourselves. Knowthat you can do i t . . . Persist until yousucceed."

Mrs. Parks deplored King's treatmentand the verdict, but asked that "each of usnot give up but use every ounce ofstrength, courage and faith that we haveto move forward to see that justice isdone for those who are denied justice."

Dr. Watson emphasized the significanceof the work of former Lincoln graduatesand the importance of knowledge andeducation. 'You have come to the rightplace to prepare yourself for thecontributions which you will take to thisworld and which this distrubed nationclearly needs . . . Make a better world thanwe have left for you."

Dr. Morris, who urged the graduates to"dream dreams," said "I hope that you areenvisioning an America that has not yet

become but that will be . . . and that youwill give yourselves untiringly to thisrealization of America, that you will beconcerned about the poor, thedispossessed, the ostracized, theforgotten."

Student Government AssociationPresident Christopher T. Curry, in hisresponse from the class, also commentedon the King verdict. "As the nation isfacing a domestic crisis . . . as we leaveLincoln University, our mission haschanged. We have to go out into thenation and make it a place that weAmericans can honestly and proudly callour home . . . where we can say 'treat usfairly with blind justice'... My hope isthat my class and my generation will notonly rise to the call for justice but willtake any measures necessary toaccomplish the demise of injustice in anyform."

The ceremony was the culmination ofan alumni reunion weekend which beganFriday evening and included a Lincoln

(Wyatt B. Johnson became LincolnUniversity's Director of Alumni Relationsin March 1992. Here he discusses the taskshe sees ahead.)

The Past Can Bethe Future

Being a Lincoln University graduate ismore than being knowledgeable in aparticular field of endeavor. Lincolngraduates incur professional, civic andmoral obligations—to themselves, toother Lincoln graduates, and to thecommunity.

Growing up in Atlantic City, New Jersey,my associations with Lincoln alumni weremany. These included my father; mydoctor, H. D. Marshall '25, who would notaccept a fee; Learman Jackson '45, anelementary school teacher and safetypatrol director; Russell Lamkin '36, myeighth grade arithmetic teacher, who latertutored me in algebra and never accepteda fee; a friend who taught me how todrive; James Usry '46, who taught me thefundamentals of baseball and basketballand the meaning of sportsmanship; andC. M. Cain '15 and Richard Lockett '18,who guided me in the YMCA and servedas a pipeline to Lincoln.

These "Lincoln influences" taught methe importance of uniting with Lincolnpersons of yesteryear, of beingresponsible, and of the importance of thesons and daughters of Lincoln being trueone to another "while lifting ourstandards to the sky."

It is my intention to stress the oldLincoln spirit while increasing alumnichapter activities, student placement andalumni giving—all necessary if Lincoln isto remain as distinguished andcompetitive now as it was in the past. Ihope to heighten the cultural presence ofLincoln through college fairs, career days,history months, art competitions andtours of local facilities such as museumsand historic sites. I will ask graduates tocontact promising students, conductgatherings for guidance counselors, andthrow send-off parties for new Lincolnstudents. I plan to encourage Lincolnstudents to interface with alumni,guidance counselors and prospectivestudents; and visual tapes will beavailable for regional seminars forvolunteer alums. In many of theseendeavors, I am working closely with theAdmissions Office.

I have sent to all existing alumnichapters packets of information on the

Lincoln AlumniAmong NAFEOHonorees

Wyatt B.Johnson '65

history of our University, our basic-admissions procedures, and our grantprograms. Also included are informationon faculty credentials and programinformation for conducting affairs toenhance financial contributions to ouralma mater.

We like to recognize the achievementsof our illustrious alumni, often to bask intheir glory. While these achievements arenumerous, it is also true that recessionand inflationary demands affect us. We,like others, have experienced cutbacksand "pink slips." Realizing this, I amworking with the Career Services Centerto maintain a job bank for the use of ourgraduates. Lists of companies areavailable, and Lincoln graduates are beingencouraged to employ other Lincolngrads. Alumni are also encouraged toreturn to Lincoln to offer young graduatesadvice and insight regarding careeralternatives.

Our illustrious past has laid for us agrand academic, spiritual and emotionalfoundation. It is time to build on thatfoundation so that we may ensure a moreglorious future. In essence, I would liketo see the establishment of aninternational network throughoutLincolndom—one which knows nogeographical boundaries. I would like tosee the rebirth of the old "Lincoln Spirit"and to hear the words of the venerableDennee Bibb '11, "we will e'er be true,"resound at Lincoln and throughout ourcommunities.

How I RememberLincoln (1938-42)

by Dr. James A. Parker

Rejoicing on campus with myaccomplished classmates during our 50thAnniversary Reunion caused me to reflecton our humble beginnings at Lincoln, in1938, in the depth of the GreatDepression.

As I remember, we were a pitifullooking and deprived group, and it musthave been difficult for the facultymembers to determine whether we hadarrived to study or to be studied! Almostto the man, we now admit that we couldnot have made it financially at any othercollege.

Although I was a product of Florida andNew York schools, I arrived at Lincoln,unannounced, on a rainy Septemberevening, halfheartedly pretending to be aresident of Pennsylvania—as I had beenadvised to do, and with all of $15 in mypocket. My father, then a dentist,victimized by the depression, had givenme this monetary treasure along with aone-way bus ticket and these words ofencouragement: "Now, go on down thereand strut your stuff!"

I arrived also bearing a verbal messageto the business manager from a politicalminded Philadelphia alumnus that acommunication would be forthcomingfrom him on the following day regardinga senatorial scholarship for me. Well, thecommunication never arrived, and I shallbe eternally grateful to Lincoln University,and to the late Professor Harold FetterGrim, for having taken my last 15 dollars.And, of course, the senatorial scholarship

My Alma Mater is a Pleasant PlaceA Parody of Louise Driscoll's "My Garden is a Pleasant Place"

by Dr. James A. Parker

My Alma Mater is a pleasant placeAmid green hills of rolling grace.It is an ancient citadelWhere the Gods of Wisdom forever

dwell.Tradition steeps her hallowed walls,Lined and draped with ivy shawls,Sending forth her sibs with knowledge

strongTo guide and feed the hungry throng.

My Lincoln fulfills a pleasant dreamWhere black and white together teamTo drive intolerance from this land,Striding toward freedom, hand in

hand.A vivid picture I do recall;A dedicated dean in a lecture hall,Toiling and sweating the whole day

throughTeaching young students of an ebony

hue.

My College is a pretty placeOf sunlit glory and open space.There was ancient cherry treeWhere yellow warblers sang to me,And a lofty evergreen, wherea robin built her nest, and thereperched upon a football goalone crooned with all his merry soul.

My College is a nostalgic placewhere the cultured, dressed in fineries

and lace,Embracing every race, creed and sex,And the brightly hooded intellectsGather beneath the stately towerTo share the long awaited hour.They come from near and far awayTo meet the bachelors young and gay,And greet old friends the whole day

through,And live their College days anew.

My College campus was a lovers' lanewhere song birds sang their sweet

refrain,And lovely maidens of yesteryearSang and danced with special cheer.Here, many a beau all filled with pride,Chose a pretty damsel for his bride

And rushed away with pent-up gleeAnxious to lengthen his family tree.

My College is a romantic bowlwhere the beauties of nature all

unfold.Here are hummingbirds that comeTo seek the tall delphiniumAnd it is hard to believe the size,And beauty of our butterflies.The lilac trees both large and small,The strongest scented of them all,Send their perfume over treesAnd dell and glen, to find the bees.

I wish some power would press myear

With magic touch, and make me hearWhat all the blossoms say and soI might know what the winged things

know.I'd hear the sunflower's mellow pipe,"Goldfinch, goldfinch, my seeds are

ripe!"I'd hear the pale wistaria sing,"Moon moth, moon moth, I am

blossoming!"

I'd hear the tender violets cry"Oh firefly! Come, firefly!"And I would learn the jeweled wordThe ruby-throated hummingbirdDrops into cups of larkspur blue,And I would sing them all for you!

And having no other cross to bear,And Providence grant my longing

prayer;May I rest forever in eternal graceOn the sacred soil of this hallowed

place.And every little wind that blowsShall take my ashes as it goesO'er fields and paths and hillsTo fertilize the daffodils.O friends, wherever you may be,Will you not come to visit me?A heart may travel very farTo come where its desires are.Oh, may some power touch your ear,And grant you peace, and make you

hear!

never materialized and the semester wasalmost over before any more money waspaid on my account—and that came indrips and drabs. During all of this time, Iwas a full-time student with a pleasantjob, quartered in the newest dormitory,eating three square meals a day, and

enjoying every aspect of college life. Howlucky could a poor "dog" be!

Hazing of freshmen, in one form oranother, was strong and constantthroughout the first semester; but whocared, since we were being initiated intoa great college family, each member

Dr. Frank Coleman '35

bonded to the other by that true LincolnSpirit in which all were deeply rootedand grounded. Back in those days of strictsegregation, we all regarded Alma Materas one of the Big Four of the East(Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Lincoln,but not necessarily in this order!)

We were all for one and one for all, andwhen one took a trip off campus, he wasusually all decked out in the clothes ofseveral other students. Since herepresented Lincoln, everyone wantedhim to look the part, and it usually tookthe best garments of four or five otherstudents to accomplish this feat. Beingstudents at the oldest liberal arts collegefor Black males in the entire country, andwith dedicated faculty members such asProfessors Grim, Dickey, Johnson, Miller,Grubb, Hill, and the like, and withLincoln's great traditions and legacy, asDick Gregory put it: "We weren't poor,just broke."

After only a few weeks at Lincoln, Imade my first trip away from the campus:to North Carolina as a member of thevarsity football squad. The evening afterthe game, some hoodlum with ahandgun, probably disgruntled over thetrouncing that the local team had taken,crashed the party which we wereattending. Then bedlam ensued as hesprayed the house with bullets! After all ofthe commotion was over, two of our bigtackles, "Tank" Gilmore and Jim Dorsey,

.and a fullback, "Hog-head" Williams, hadreceived minor bullet wounds andanother had been slightly cut with flyingglass. Our captain and leader, Herbert

Alumni Meet in Los Angeles

Norris, better known as "Selassie," drewmost of the fire but ended up without ascratch. We were all extremelyfortunate!

The next day while riding back on thebus, Monte Irvin, also a freshman at thetime, noticed two bullet holes in thetrousers he was wearing and was worriedall the way home about how the owner ofthose trousers would take the news. Afterhearing the moans and concerns ofothers, in this regard, I realized thatprobably half of the student body hadsome trinket or item of clothing on thatbus. Upon returning to school, thecampus bell began ringing and all thestudents turned out to welcome theirvictorious team back home and to inspectand reclaim their belongings. All wasforgiven when they were told why theirclothes were damaged and soiled.

I made many official trips with variousteams and groups during my four gloriousyears at Lincoln—with the boxing andwrestling teams, Glee Club, Drama team,etc.—and took many unauthorized tripsto varied and sundry places with thefamous Rabble. I found, whenever wevisited, the same high spirit ofbrotherhood, caring, sharing, camaraderie,and togetherness throughout the entireLincoln Family. This seems to have been apart of the legacy handed down from theFounding Fathers, the Rendalls andDickeys, through Drs. Walter Wright,William Hallock Johnson, and the"Hammer Man," My Favorite, TheOne and Only—Dr. Harold FetterGrim, who from 1912 to 1962 exerted astrong influence on every student andevery aspect of the University.

Moreover, strong alumni such as Henry"Kid" Collins '10 & '13, William Ashby '11,Dr. Walter Jerrick '13, Dr. Dave Morris '18,Dr. Walter G. Alexander '99, and Drs.Hildrus Poindexter, Robert S. Jason,George Cannon, and Wayne Coston, all ofthe class of 1924, made frequent tripsback to the campus, serving as strong rolemodels for us. These men had a strongand abiding love for Alma Mater whichwas infectious. During the last years of"Kid" Collins' life, even though an invalid,he frequently accompanied me toLincoln. And on his death bed, he mademe promise that I would spread his asheson Lincoln's campus. This I did with thepermission of the Board of Trustees. Theurn was placed in Vail Memorial Hall,which was then the library.

This left a lasting impression upon me,and it was hoped that somehow thismight start a tradition. Earlier, back in1948,1 brought my first born son back tobe christened in the Chapel. TheReverend Drs. Jessie B. Barbour Sr. '14 &'17 and Frank T. Wilson '21, whoofficiated, thought that it would be nice ifa tradition could be started in thisdirection.

Now that it appears that the Spirit ofyesteryear might be somewhat on thewane, we must find something to makeus, as a family, more responsive to AlmaMater. Since all of the aforementionedLincoln immortals are now deceased, it isleft up to us, the younger members of theold school, to pass the torch on to theyounger members of our College Familyand impress upon them that they alsoowe Alma Mater a debt of gratitude.

That Good Old Lincoln Spirit mustshine forever. Let us together rekindle theflame and revel as it flares! Hail, Hail,Lincoln!

(The following was excerpted from aletter I received shortly afterCommencement.—FTC)

. . . To say that I enjoyed my 50thReunion and Commencement weekend isto put it mildly! The buildings andgrounds look great, and to see all my oldfriends and to meet our PresidentSudarkasa was truly wonderful. Finally, tobreakfast and renew our, my, and myRamsey family friendship with (TickColeman) was a distinct pleasure.

Since my return home, I have talked upLincoln, like never before. As a result, mypriest has asked that he be sent brochuresand material and bulletin board data thathe can put up and distribute in ourchurch.

. . . It was great being there. I also wentdown and visited Coach and Mrs. Rivera.They look well. Best to you and thePresident.

Sincerely,Bill Ramsey '42
