FROM THE DESK OF THE
EDITOR OF THE LINCOLNIAN
It is interesting to note that when the Lincoln men of years past decided to select
a mascot they chose the highly symbolic lion. They were fully aware that this cele-
brated animal was the epitome of the outstanding masculine virtues; unfaltering
aggressiveness, strenuous competition, unyielding strength and enormous courage.
And traditionally, Lincoln men have personified the qualities of their lion and have
become universally associated with its image. Lincoln men have also become lion-
like in their roar. World-famous for candor and outspokeness we are often referred
to as eloquent "loudmouths" who have eternally stated with distinction our never
changing stand against the hypocrisy and shame that exist within our society. And,
as we are morally obligated to continue this campaign deeply into the distant future I
urge you the class of "63" to do battle with submissiveness, mediocrity and indifference
wherever you find them. And in the same vein support and speak out for equality, and
advancement with vigor and conviction. Congratulations and Good Luck!
