" T h e moving finger writes, and having writ Moves on. N o r all your piety nor wit, Shall lure it back to cancel half a line, N o r all your tears wash out a word of it."
This is the thesis of our college days, and this edition of the senior class annual an attempt to immortalize those memories of our brief sojourn here, which
have
created

upon our collective lives.

impression
If in this, sometime in
the hidden future we shall pause to relive those golden hours again and again and again, then its purpose has been fulfilled.
IN MEMORIAM Well may some local Milton in thinking of Kenneth Sinclair Dodson, inscribe lines such as those of the poet to his friend Lycidas. For his parting was taken with deep sorrow by all who knew him and realized his capabilities. Not a year has passed since he influenced student opinion and action here at Lincoln with his intensity of apprehension and his refreshingly new viewpoint.
His
interests were wide and varied and his accomplishments distinctive. H e was a friend to all as his impartiality in judgment was responsible for the settlement of numerous individual and campus problems. His firm convictions and his zeal to elevate the standards of his fellow student made him a driving force in our community. Especially did Dodson devote himself to the publishing of last year's annual. H e achieved such a high degree of practicality and informality in "recapturing visually the myriad activities of student life at Lincoln" that he influenced to a great extent the policy of this year's staff. T o him do we owe a special debt of gratitude and to his memory do we, the class of '40, dedicate this book—the 1940 L I O N .

CLASS ADVISERS The class of 1940 is indebted to Professor Harold Fetter Grim and to Professor Shelby Albright Rooks from whose wealth of experience and friendly counsel we have borrowed much to help us to realize the fundamental principles of service which our " A l m a Mater" has tried so generously to infuse in us, and we shall sincerely carry them with us into the world which we are about to meet.

TWE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE T o the Class of 1940: June, 1940, brings you to the time of graduation. T h e years of contact here with students and faculty are over. Y o u separate, each in his own field, to take up more definitely the business of life. W e hope the years in college have been fruitful both in present satisfactions and in the acquiring of things needful for the days that follow. W e hope you have been helped to see more clearly the things that are important, to distinguish between the things that are transitory and the things that are lasting. W e live in uncertain days when the future offers possibilities of undreamed satisfactions of the best desires of men and where also athwart our path lies the dark spectre of devastating ruin of things material and spiritual. It is ours to choose. W e can do our part in making the kind of world w e wish hoping that those who come after will add their effort. W e live in a new land, longing and laboring for a day when throughout its wide extent a man may be "a man for a' that," without regard to class, race, or the externals of life.
May we see its dawning.
Sincerely yours, Walter Livingston 8
Wright.

DEAN WILSON'S MESSAGE T o the Class of 1940—Greetings: T h e simple ritual of graduation ceremonies hears testimony to the acquisition of useful skills, the discovery of essential knowledge, and the cultivation of enlightened attitudes. T o the extent that such achievement has actually taken place during your period of residence at the college, this public recognition of your attainments in scholarly pursuits is but an introduction to those more deeply satisfying disciplines of mind and spirit so necessary to civilized persons in an age of intricate and exacting human relationships. In free concourse with congenial men and stimulating ideas, you have lived through late adolescence into early adulthood. May the level of your maturity be a match for the most rigorous demands of the rather impersonal, if not hostile, forces of that "greater society" beyond the reassuring confines of college. Let not "Commencement" be an invitation to frustration Be strong. Extend the areas of solid fact about man and nature, persist in critical inquiry into the unsolved problems of things human and divine, dedicate the energies of your Being to at least one great cause for the liberation and enrichment of human life. A n d this shall be a continuing comradeship between you who go out from college and those who remain for other years of endeavor on these grounds. M a y we together renew our confidence in the power of truth over falsehood, light over darkness, good over evil; and wherever we may sojourn in time to come, let us bear practical and unremitting witness to the faith that is within us. Sincerely yours, Frank Theodore Wilson.

Four long years we've sojourned here In harmony, peace and love, Accepting all that came to us From the heavenly powers above. T h e time has now arrived A f t e r long and tedious years, For us to raise our voices In this, our farewell song. T h e men w h o have sojourned with us, W h o have taught us day by day, N o w set us on an uncharted road, T h e n quietly f a d e away. But this rendezvous we'll keep alone O challenging universe, Your forces we will bravely meet For better, not for worse. WILLIAM GARFIELD
WILKERSON.
Farewell Lincoln, M o t h e r of M e n , pride of our hearts! W e embark upon new careers, we know not where. By thy guidance weak youths have become strong men and wise. M a n y times we have sung thy praises far and nigh; M a n y times our loyalty has lifted thee on high. From thee, O Foster Mother, we have gained more t h a n we can e'er repay! A n d now we t u r n toward the world; w e await the fates inevitable; Alas! we embark f r o m those sunny shores w e have loved so well. T h r o u g h the fog of our ignorance thy shining light has ever guided us. T h e fates choose, and we must do their bidding; T h e world without awaits our coming; O , A l m a M a t e r , give us
courage! J. H O W A R D

T h e present Junior class consisted originally of 125 men from all parts oi the United States, the Virgin Islands and Africa, who arrived .it L i n c o l n in the tail of 1937 to embark upon their collegiate careers.
Much water has passed under the
bridge since that time, and now they find themselves ready to step into the place of the outgoing senior class, with their ranks considerably depleted but, none tin- less, with head unbowed and a hopeful eye for the future. This class of the line of Phi has achieved an amount of success in all those activities that go to make a class a well rounded one.
It has produced outstanding men in scholarship, athletics, dramatics,
debating and oratory, and looks forward to its last year as its most successful, with such men as Philip Randolph, Roy Nichols, Theodore Boldcn, Henry Mitchell. Will red (ames and I. N. Perry in the vanguard.

During its twenty-six years of existence Beta chapter of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity has been concerned with pursuing the cardinal principles of Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance and Uplift on which the fraternity was founded. Each year the fraternity sponsors a national Negro Achievement Week.
This
year in connection with this event Beta Chapter initiated a drive to revive the Pan-Hellenic council for the betterment of interfraternal conditions in the campus community. This year the local body effected an extensive program which included educational, cultural, social and athletic aspects. T h e presentation of the Alfred W a l t e r Walker Memorial Scholarship medal, the Epsilon Glee Cub of N e w York and the annual Omega prom rounded out the year's activity. 47

FOOTBALL T h e raving Lions travelled to Baltimore to engage the mighty and supposedly superior Morgan Bears. Throughout three quarters the two teams fought bitterly. T h e consistently long punts by " W i n k s " MacDonald, the wonderful defensive work by Reggie Williams, Ralph Oves, Sal Brown, Lieutenant Harris, Russell Tracy, and Herb Norris was the only thing that kept the Lions in the game. In the midst of the fourth period, the Bears drove to the Orange and Blue seven-yard line. From this point, they decided to try a field goal from placement. Captain W a y m a n Holley faded to the eighteen-yard stripe, but the kick went wide of the goal posts, giving the ball to the Lions on their own twenty-yard marker. O n the very first play, the diminutive Jim Baker trekked back to his own twelve-yard stripe; viewed his field calmly; and suddenly fired the ball with bullet-like speed into the waiting arms of Perry Honey. Honey gathered the ball over the head of Ike Chavies, Morgan halfback, and without breaking his stride streaked forty-four yards down the sideline without being touched.

In the third period the Lion attack was sparked by the hard-hitting " M i k e " Roman.

Howard vs. Lincoln T w e n t y thousand jubilant football fans packed themselves in Drexel Park at Philadelphia to witness the thirty-third session of the renowned Howard-Lincoln classic. In the beginning, the game was all that it had promised to be, both as a social fiesta and an athletic contest. T h e powerful Lincoln machine with the trusty arm of Jim Baker and the "glue-tipped fingers" of Bob Beverly pushed into pay territory early in the second quarter; the score at the half being 7 -0 in favor of Lincoln. In the third quarter, Lincoln tallied again on a triple lateral with Bill H u n t e r handling the ball last. Pearcy kicked the conversion from placement. A s the last half progressed, the crowd became overjoyed and began to surge onto the gridiron. In m a n y instances, the officials had to stop the game in an attempt to clear the field. W h i l e the spectators were gleefully enjoying themselves, the H o w a r d Bisons completed a iifteen-yard pass to the Lion one-yard line, from where V a n Buren crashed over. T h e attempt at conversion was good and the score stood 14—7. A s the game aged, H o w a r d drove deep into Lincoln territory, but the game officials t h o u g h t it unwise to continue the contest with the spectators interfering at every hand. U n d e r these conditions, the game was stopped with two minutes of playing time remaining. N o immediate decision was made as to the w i n n e r of the game. However, at the C. I. A . A . conference in December, the game was declared " n o contest."

CLASS PROPHECY Mr. Edward Kingston Nichols, Jr. 711 St. Nicholas Ave. N e w York City Dear "Slick:" I'm awful sorry "ole gal" that you couldn't get down to our class reunion I hope that business deal of yours came through alright, but I guess business comes before pleasure. T h a t night club of yours has certainly made plenty of money for you in these last few years. Dear old Lincoln's campus really " j u m p e d " at the class of '40's reunion last week. I ran into all of the old gang there. Most of the fellows were able to make it T h e first guys I ran into were "Ole Lady" Palmer H u n t and " U n c l e " John Thomas Palmer is T H E political "Boss" of Chester now. It used to be "Boss"' McClew but now it's "Boss" Hunt. Palmer is the power behind Chester's " t h r o n e . " "Uncle John is Dr. John Wesley Thomas and the head of the Douglass Hospital in Philadelphia He isn't as slender as he used to be, he weighs about thirty or forty pounds more now, mostly around the waistline. A t dinner I sat at my old place in the senior dining room. T h e y still serve the same kind of food. O u r waiter turned out to be none other than James Edward Johnson, Jr., and he's the spitting image of his "old m a n . " He's a junior now and quite a debater. The "Lord" is one of the most prominent lawyers in Springfield He's President of the Springfield bar association and the head of Johnson's Home for W a y w a r d Girls. Petey Jamison, M. D„ came down from Wilmington, but tripped over the running board of his car when he got out and knocked his knee out of joint. (He hasn't changed a bit in all these years.) Perry Honey is coaching out here now. His teams have been C. I. A. A. football and basketball champions for the last four years. Jack Tracey is the "Commissar of Propaganda" of the Communist party in N e w York City, with a staff of three hundred anarchists under him. Russell Tracy is the principal of a high school down in Charleston, S. C. He's married and has ten kids. T h e Right Reverend Wendell McDuffey Logan (alias " A m " Logan), is Professor of English Bjble here at Lincoln. Harold Gregory is a big pawnbroker up in Morristown, N. J. Lester Sylvester Norris is the head of the Social W e l f a r e agency in Baltimore, and the owner of a local distillery Norman ("Farmer") Jones and "Pappy T i m e " are running a sweet potato farm down at Benton's Landing, W e s t Molin County, Va. Lanky Webber is the owner of the national chain of barber shops where, with each haircut and shampoo, the customer gets a wrestling lesson, free. H e has invited me up to his Long Island estate for the month of July to do a bit of golfing, and to play a bit of polo. Well, "ole lady," I guess I had better get back to work on this case I have to try tomorrow, so I'll say: So long; write soon. Your long-lost pal, "HOWY." 61
