Activities of the Directorof Alumni Relations

by Wyatt Johnson

The administration of LincolnUniversity has proven to be sincere inits effort to rejuvenate the alumni.During the past seven months, I havevisited over 12 chapters, traveling asfar as California, to meet our gradu-ates. We have gathered together infellowship and rekindled the "OldLincoln Spirit," one to another.

In California, I met with ouralumni in Los Angeles, SanFrancisco and San Diego. As a result,concrete student recruitment pro-grams have been realized, especiallyin Los Angeles under RaymondButler '49. The result will be a morediversified student body in whichresident hall discussion will stretchacross cultural, ethnic and geographicboundaries.

In Cleveland, Ohio, plans are being

made for students to visitLincoln by bus from both public andprivate high schools. Fund raisingevents are also being planned. Achapter was formed in Atlanta,Georgia, and fund raising committeesas well as a committee for studentrecruitment have been established.Materials have been forwarded tosupport the Atlanta Alumni Associa-tion in their efforts to uplift Lincolnculturally and financially.

The South Jersey Alumni Associa-tion recently had a LincolnUniversity Weekend in Atlantic City,New Jersey. Guidance counselorsfrom public and private high schoolswere in attendance as were studentsin a two-day seminar given by theAdmissions Department of Lincoln.The weekend was highlighted by aConcert Choir performance that wassponsored jointly by the JethroPresbyterian Church, of which manyLincoln graduates have been mem-bers and ministers; the AlumniAssociation; the Ladies Auxiliary;and Bally's-Atlantic City. Thehonoree was Dr. Amaza M. Lockett,longtime member of the LincolnUniversity Ladies Auxiliary and a 50-year teacher in the Atlantic CitySchool System. This effort demon-strated the ability of various depart-ments of Lincoln to support theOffice of Alumni Relations in a multi-faceted program. The success meritsmore consideration when onerealizes that it was put together in ascant two months, with some alumnimeeting for the first time. It is hopedthat this will serve as an incentive to

Recently, ownersof a Philadelphiatelevision stationvisited Lincoln. It isenvisioned that from this visit allareas of our great University —administrative, development, physi-cal and student affairs — may behighlighted to the television viewingaudience. This enhanced view ofLincoln should benefit us throughincreased corporate giving by areacorporations and assure us of aconstant flow of excellent areastudents.

We will also use the media toinitiate a Lincoln Day Worldwidewhen Lincoln ministers will speak onthe Alma Mater. One graduate,William J. Simmons '35, has a televi-

Hopefully, this new pride inLincoln — our past, present andfuture — will lead to increasedalumni giving, more active alumnichapters, matching funds fromcorporations, and gifts from founda-tions as we strive ahead in theacademic realm.

Dedication of the Alumni Memorial Arch(Editor's Note: The following, written b\j Dr. George E. Cannon, Lincoln Class of

1893, is reprinted from the Lincoln University Herald, June-July 1922. It ivascontributed to The Lion by Dr. Frank "Tick" Coleman.)

It was thought that interest in the President's visit would overshadow theother commencement exercises, but after all the climax of the season wasreached in the dedication of the Alumni Memorial Arch, spanning the mainentrance to the campus, and erected by the Alumni to "The men of LincolnUniversity who served their country in the World War." The dedica-tion followed the commencement exercises at 3:30 p.m.,the procession headed by the Alumni, wendingtheir way across Rendall Field to the Arch atthe northern entrance to the University.Dr. George E. Cannon, of Jersey City,N.J., President of the AlumniAssociation, was master ofceremonies, and introduced asfirst speaker, Dr. William T.Carr, Jr., of Baltimore, whospoke on "Our AlmaMater." His address wasscholarly and full offervor, and he said thatLincoln students gotsomething not in thecatalogue —the conse-crated spirit of LincolnUniversity, made so bythe devoted Christianlife of the lamented ex-president, Dr. Isaac N.Rendall, and kept alive bythose who succeeded him.Hon. Walter G. Alexander,of Orange, N.J., member ofthe New Jersey Legislature,made the Dedication Oration,and spoke of the remarkablesuccess of Lincoln graduates in allwalks of life and their contribution tohuman progress. In probably thegreatest speech of his career, Dr. Alexanderdedicated the Arch to the Lincoln men whoserved in the World War, and then called on the

Lincoln men now living to re-dedicate themselves to the noble cause forwhich Lincoln stands, and to the service of humanity.

The dedication prayer, full of devotion to God, love for mankindand loyalty to Lincoln, was made by Rev. Dr. Chas. S. Freeman, ofPhiladelphia.

A masterly "Presentation Address" was made by Dr. Benjamin B. Jeffers ofSteelton, Pa. He closed one of the most eloquent addresses ever made at

Lincoln by appealing to nature to cause the winds to blow gentlyand the rains to fall softly on the Memorial Arch so

'Ii/ • .. that, like the pyramids in their silent eloquence, itmight endure forever.

Rev. Dr. John B. Rendall, President ofthe University, in an address full of

emotion and praise accepted theArch in behalf of the Trustees.

Prof. Wm. Hallock Johnsonpainted a glowing picture of agreater Lincoln Universitymade possible by thedevotion and loyalty of herAlumni. "Dear OldLincoln," the Alma Matersong, was sung, with Mr.Joseph N. Hill leading;and Rev. Dr. John T.Colbert, of Baltimore,Secretary of theAlumni Association,pronounced thebenediction.

At the top of thememorial tablet placed inthe wall of the Arch is the

head of Abraham Lincoln,for whom the institution is

named, with the inscriptionaround it: "If the Son shall make

you free, ye shall be free indeed."With a brilliant Junior Oratorical

Contest in the morning and a fineCommencement program in the after-

noon, the dedication of the arch marked "theend of a perfect day."

It's the Percentage that Counts!by Dr. P. J. Kennedy, Vice President for Development and External Relations

When approaching foundationsto contribute to our Capital Cam-paign, we find we are at a disadvan-tage. One of the evaluation criteriafor securing capital grants is analumni contribution rate of at least25%. While our alumni donationshave increased from less than 1% in1985 to 9.5% in 1992, we cannotcompete with institutions whosealumni giving patterns are in the 35%to 67% range. We must reach thegoal of a minimum 25% in order toqualify for funding from manysources.

Many alumni/ae tend to wait tosupport their Alma Mater untilthey can afford to contribute asubstantial amount. While these areadmirable intentions, they postponeparticipation until later life. Often,the desired height of income is neverreached. Lincoln needs your dollars,but we need your participation farmore.

Please understand that dues paidto the Lincoln AlumniAssociation do not constitute adonation to your Alma Mater. Also,be aware that a donor may stipulate(restrict) the gift; e.g., for scholar-ships, specific academic department,athletic team, Chapel, etc.

Beginning with Fiscal Year 1992,donations are being recognizedby membership in societies namedfor some of our most prestigiousfounders and advocates.

The John Miller Dickey Society,

named for the anti-slaveryactivist who founded Lincoln andprovided the school's early principalsupport from his personal funds,includes a growing circle of success-ful alumni/ae and friends who haveinvested $1,000 or more in Lincoln'smission. Last year, a total of 76earned this distinction.

Membership in the Horace MannBond Society, named in honor ofthe 1923 graduate who became thefirst black president of Lincoln, isextended to individuals who contrib-ute annual gifts of $500 to $999. In1992,53 became members of thissociety.

Joseph Newton Hill, the 1920Lincoln graduate and first facultymember of African descent, also has asociety named in his honor. The J.Newton Hill Society is for those whodonate $251 to $499; in Fiscal Year 92,29 qualified.

The H. Alfred Farrell Society,named for Professor EmeritusFarrell '34, who has served 55 yearsin the academic field as a dedicatededucator, counselor and administra-tor, includes contributors of $100 to$250. One-hundred-fifty-six havebeen identified in this society.

Finally, the Frank "Tick" ColemanSociety, which honors thePhiladelphia hero who is a livingtreasure at Lincoln nearly 58 yearsafter graduation, recognizes themany alumni/ae and friends whocharacterize loyalty and spirit with

gifts under $100. There were 229 suchcontributors in Fiscal Year 1992.

When alumni make individualdonations, the contributions arecounted toward the total class gift.Reunion classes for 1992 made thefollowing donations of at least $2,500:

Class of 1937 •Class of 1942 •Class of 1947 •Class of 1952 -Class of 1957 •Class of 1967 •Class of 1972 •

$4,100$60,779$3,550$9,425$3,850$5,365$10,235

Class of 1977 - $3,785Class of 1982 - $2,865If your Lincoln University educa-

tion has enabled you to succeedin your desired career, procureemployment, mature into a well-rounded individual, or pursue anyof a myriad of other personal en-deavors, it is now up to you to givesomething back. Your participation,to whatever degree is possible, isextremely important and will begreatly appreciated. Please mailyour contribution, no matter theamount, today!

Lincoln University PlansInternational Center

Pennsylvania Gov. Robert P.Casey announced on October 8,1992,that Lincoln University will receive$12 million in state funds for a new$21 million International Center forthe Arts and Humanities. TheUniversity will be responsible forraising the remaining $9 million.Contributions from alumni and staffwill be vital to successfully reachingthe University's share of costs.

The International Center willhouse international programs andprovide a state-of-the-art auditoriumfor world-class cultural events. Witha capacity for 2,500 to 3,000 people,

the auditorium will be the center ofthe University's international pro-grams and cultural events. TheCenter will also include seminar andconference rooms, an internationalreading and listening room, a galleryto display part of the University'sAfrican art collection, a multipurposeroom, faculty and administrativeoffices, a snack bar, and a guest wingfor visiting artists and professors.

The $12 million award brings thetotal of state funding for LincolnUniversity building projects to morethan $35 million over the past fiveyears.

How Your Gift Keeps on GivingYour gift to Lincoln University helps

beyond the dollars you contribute. It is used asa measure of an institution's worthiness andencourages the support of other individuals,groups and institutions. At many institutions,40% to 60% of the alumni participate on anannual basis with contributions.
