Lincoln's AlumniAssociation

The Early Years

I-t is an historical fact that the firstbaccalaureate class of LincolnUniversity was graduated in June of1868. An alumni association wasformed at the next commencement in1872. The objects of the associationwere stated in the catalogue of 1872 as:

To cooperate with trustees and fa-culty in advancing all interests of edu-cation generally by increasing thenumber of students in all departmentsof instruction, and to strengthen andperpetuate the ties which bind thealumni to each other and to theirAlma Mater.

The Alumni Association wasfounded in a period which was mostdifficult for the infant institution andthe country which was in the beginningthroes of Reconstruction and adjustingto the Fourteenth Amendment and theFifteenth Amendment which followed.So, the "cold, cold world" of equality isnot new to the Lincoln AlumniAssociation.

The alumni petition of 1875 remark-ably documented the spirit of the times.The African-American had not yetfelt the full onset of the collapse ofthe Reconstruction Policy. The equali-tarian spirit set forth in the petitionstemmed from the very roots of the re-public and though a forlorn hope at thetime, it was to become the voice of the"New Negro."

In 1875, three years after its organi-zation, the Alumni Association in amost revealing and diplomatic petitiondemanded that African-Americans befairly represented as members of thefaculty. This was done under the pres-idency of the Reverend CharlesHedges, Class of 1869. The trusteeboard delayed its reply until the follow-ing commencement, June 6, 1876. Thereply, though interesting, was negativeand gave no hope of ever relinquishingthe white-professorship-only policy.

This denial of the alumni's aspira-tions had the effect of a rallying cry foralumni. Through efforts of the Reve-rend Edward Webb, Lincoln's financialagent, the Alumni Association wasstrengthened. The method used was toget a key man. This man proved to beSolomon Porter Hood, Class of 1873,who really was the first alumni secre-

tary without portfolio or pay. His was alabor of love and he was able to con-tact alumni throughout the states ofNorth Carolina, South Carolina andGeorgia. During the commencement of1882, Webb and Hood selected classsecretaries for each class. It wouldseem that all was set for a solid cohe-sive and communicative alumni, butsuch was not the case. The older spec-tor of failure to respond and lack ofconcern caused this grand plan to beinoperative and non-productive.

A second petition was presented in1886, recommending competent alum-ni who might worthily fill professor-ships. This petition was treated with ut-ter contempt, and no reply was madeby either administration or the trustees.To further the cause of the petition, Dr.N. F. Mossell, Class of 1879, spoke forthe alumni at the 1886 commence-ment. He fearlessly raised the issue ofblack professorships and offered to do-nate several hundred dollars toward a"chair" if occupied by a colored man.The speech so rankled the faculty andadministration that Dr. Mossell wasdenied the privilege of speaking at Lin-coln and told pointedly that appoint-ments to the faculty were made by thetrustees and not by the alumni.

The Alumni Association widely pub-licized this issue by circularizing minis-ters in Philadelphia, public figures ofthat time, and newspapers throughoutthe country. The situation at Lincoln, asthey saw it, was vividly described andcandid expressions were requested.Many of the respondents agreed withthe alumni position. Among them wereGeneral B. F. Butler, the St. Joseph Ad-vocate and the Philadelphia Press. Thelast, a leading newspaper of the time,went so far as to state that the white-only faculty and trustee situation atLincoln militated against the considera-tion of Lincoln alumni and African-Americans as men.

It is almost poetic justice that Dr.Isaac N. Rendall's death should rousethe crestfallen spirits of the alumni.During his tenure of forty years as pres-ident and molder of the Lincoln Idea,his life had been very influential in thelives of numerous Lincoln alumni.

ear Alumnus/-na:Realizing that Lincoln must

bring together alumni support (amale/female constituency) if it isto sustain its margin of excel-lence, the Alumni RelationsOffice has established theCentury-Plus Club.

The Century-Plus Club is theplanned giving program of Lin-coln University Alumni—a spe-cial group of alumni and friendswho recognize that Lincolnrequires support beyond the aver-age in order to remain a univer-sity of the first rank.

To maintain a reputation as agreat university, Lincoln's specialneeds must be met by those whohave the willingness and resour-ces to do so. Many of Lincoln'sinnovative programs are a directresult of the generosity andresponsibility of Lincoln alumni,faculty, staff and friends.

As we look to the future, itbecomes obvious that if Lincolnis to enhance its excellence inteaching, research and service,additional support will be needed.

Our 1987 goal is to have atleast 2,000 out of a total alumnibody of more than 6,000 tobecome members of the Century-Plus Club. The target dates are:

EarlyHistory

of LincolnUniversity

The story of Lincoln Universitygoes back to the early years ofthe nineteenth century and to

the ancestors of its founder, John MillerDickey, and his wife Sarah EmlenCresson. The maternal grandfather ofJohn Miller Dickey was a Philadelphiamarble merchant who made contribu-tions to the education of African-Americans in that city as early as 1794;his father was minister of the OxfordPresbyterian Church before Rev. Dick-ey, after serving as a missionary andpreaching to the slaves in Georgia,became pastor of that same church inOxford, Pennsylvania, in 1832. SarahEmlen Cresson inherited a long tradi-tion of service and philanthropythrough the Society of Friends inPhiladelphia.

Rev. Dickey was involved in theAmerican Colonization Society andtook an active part in 1851 in the courtactions leading to the freeing of ayoung African-American girl who hadbeen abducted from southern ChesterCounty by slave-raiders from Mary-land. At the same time, having beenunsuccessful in his efforts to gain ad-mission to even the most liberal ofschools for a young freed man, JamesAmos, Rev. Dickey undertook to pre-pare the young man for the ministry.

In October of 1853 the Presbytery ofNew Castle approved the plan ad-vanced by Rev. Dickey for the estab-lishment of "an institution to be calledAshmun Institute, for the scientific,classical and theological education ofcolored youth of the male sex." OnApril 29, 1854, the new school re-ceived its charter from the Common-wealth of Pennsylvania.

CommencementWeekend

May 1-3,1987

On changing the name of the Insti-tute to Lincoln University in 1866,John Miller Dickey proposed to teachon the University level, and to enrollstudents of "every clime and complex-ion." Law, Medical, Pedagogical, andTheological Schools were planned inaddition to the College of Liberal Arts.White students were encouraged to en-roll; two graduated in the first bacca-laureate class of six men in 1868, andthe enrollment has continued to beinterracial.

A great schoolmaster, Isaac N. Ren-dall, became principal of Ashmun Insti-tute in 1865 and president of LincolnUniversity in 1866. Within a decade,plans for the Law, Medical, and Peda-gogical Schools had to be dropped forfinancial reasons, but the College ofLiberal Arts grew in stature and theTheological Seminary continued until1959 to prepare many Lincoln gradu-ates for the ministry. •

tion, Dr. George E. Cannon, Class of1893, initiated and led a drive for fundsto memoralize Dr. Rendall. The vigorwith which the drive was conductedraised the Alumni Association from itsdoldrums The drive was successful andculminated in raising a capital fund oftwenty-five hundred dollars, which wasdesigned to establish the Isaac N. Ren-dall Memorial Scholarship.

The raising of the Isaac N. RendallMemorial Scholarship Fund marked anew departure for Lincoln alumni, thatof giving. The Alumni Association thusbecame a viable force in the vital life ofLincoln University. The degree ofalumni giving became an indicator ofthe abilities of African-Americans tohelp themselves. It has also been ameasuring rod of the growth of unsel-fish giving of African-Americans. Attimes through the years, sad to say, themeasurements have been woefullydisappointing.

The Alumni Association began thetwentieth century with a committedgiving to unselfish causes—first, in es-tablishing a memorial scholarship tothe memory of Dr. Isaac N. Rendalland shortly thereafter in beginning a

drive to fund the erection of a memor-ial arch honoring the selfless sacrificesof the numerous alumni who made thesupreme sacrifice in the service of thiscountry during World War I.

The life of an institution and its pur-pose are best delineated by the productof its labors. So it is with Lincoln, thosealumni have been a vital contributingforce in the life of this nation since thefirst baccalaureate class of 1868. Atfirst, the early alumni took their placesin the tremendous tasks of the ministryand education. They labored tirelesslyin the North and throughout the Southand into the dark reaches of Africa. Afew labored in the field of medicineand law. As the years unfolded and thecountry became more receptive and en-lightened, alumni distinguished them-selves in a multitude of fields. It wouldnot be far-fetched to state that Lincolnalumni engaged in practically everyfield of human endeavor that wasopened to African-Americans. In manyinstances they pioneered in opening upthese opportunities. This will be quiteclearly shown as the story of the alumniis unfolded in its ongoing history. •
