    Lincoln University in Pennsylvania is a four-year University located on 350 acres in southern Chester County. As Horace Mann Bond noted in his book Education for Freedom (A History of Lincoln University, Pennsylvania), “This was the first institution founded anywhere in the world to provide a higher education in the arts and sciences for youth of African descent.” Today, Lincoln University is an institution of higher learning that provides a liberal arts and science-based undergraduate core curriculum and select graduate programs to prepare students of every race and nationality. Lincoln University has many notable alumni, including Thurgood Marshall, Langston Hughes, Hildrus Poindexter, Horace Mann Bond, Roscoe Lee Browne, Robert L. Nnamdi Azikiwe and Kwame Nkrumah were the first President/Prime Minister of Nigeria and Ghana respectively, fulfilling John Miller Dickey’s vision of Lincoln University as a training institution for African leadership. Lincoln University alumni have held key leadership positions at more than 35 colleges and universities and scores of prominent churches. Seven Lincoln alumni founded the following U.S. or foreign universities: South Carolina State University , Livingstone College , Albany State University , Texas Southern University , Ibeme Memorial College, Nigeria, Ibibio State College, Nigeria, and Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana. Issac Norton Rendall, an early president of Lincoln and alum of Princeton University and its seminary, developed Lincoln’s early curriculum based upon his experience at Princeton. 1854: Lincoln University was founded as Ashmun Institute by the Rev. Lincoln University’s (Ashmun Institute’s) ties to Africa and youth of African descent was a significant component of the framework for the institution’s creation. 1866: Ashmun Institute was renamed Lincoln University after the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. 1946: Albert Einstein relented on his long-standing policy of not speaking or accepting honorary degrees, when he spoke during and received an honorary degree from Lincoln University in May 1946. 1950: Lincoln University was the first historically Black college or university to become affiliated with the College Entrance Examination Board. Barnes, a local scientist and entrepreneur, amended the by-laws of his art collective, the Barnes Foundation, to enable the Board of Trustees of Lincoln University to nominate four of the five Trustees upon the demise of all the original Trustees – giving Lincoln primary responsibility for one of the largest private art collections in the world. Lincoln University participates in the NCAA Division III level. The University has petitioned membership in the CIAA, of which Lincoln was a founding member of the league. Dear Lincoln, Dear Lincoln To Thee We’ll e’re be true!
