Mission Statement Lincoln University of Missouri is a historically Black, 1890 land-grant, public, comprehensive institution that provides excellent educational opportunities including theoretical and applied learning experiences to a diverse population within a nurturing, student-centered environment.

Academic Heraldry

he history of traditional academic dress dates back to the great European universities of the Middle Ages. Academic dress at American colleges and universities is fairly standardized. The traditional academic gown is usually black; the pattern varies with the degrees held. The bachelor’s gown has a simple design with long pointed sleeves as its distinguishing mark. The master’s gown has oblong sleeves, a square rear and cutaway arc front. The most elaborate academic costume is the doctoral gown with velvet panels down the front and three velvet bars across the sleeves. The velvet is usually black, but it may be a color designating the discipline to which the degree pertains. The hood of the doctoral gown features velvet trimmings, the width of which designates the level of the degree. The color of the hood indicates the major field of study, and its lining identifies the institution that granted the degree. Lincoln University’s doctoral gown is gray with a blue and gray hood lining and blue chevrons and panels. The Mace is an ancient symbol of authority that is carried by the marshal in front of an academic procession. The three-foot-tall Lincoln University mace is walnut. The Lincoln University seal at the center of the mace contains the motto Laborare Et Studere, which means “to labor and to study.” Blue and white jewels near the top of the mace represent the university colors. The top of the mace, cast in brass, resembles the steeple of Young Hall and symbolizes the administration. The stand symbolizes the stability of the entire faculty and staff. The base, which serves as the grip, symbolizes the students.

The History of Lincoln University

s the American Civil War drew to a close in 1865, two regiments of emancipated Black soldiers took action on a decision that would reverberate from their Army station at Fort McIntosh, Texas, all the way to the Missouri state capital. The men, who learned to read and write as part of their training in boot camp, were determined to start a school for other freed Black people when they returned to their homes in Missouri after the war. The soldiers of the 62nd United States Colored Infantry, whose pay averaged $13 a month, came up with $5,000 to

establish an educational institution in Jefferson City, which they named Lincoln Institute. The 65th Colored Infantry contributed another $1,400 to the school’s endowment. Preparations moved swiftly to open Lincoln Institute the following year. The charter specified three requirements: 1. The institution shall be designed for the special benefit of emancipated African Americans. 2. It shall be located in the state of Missouri. 3. Its fundamental idea shall be to combine study and labor. On January 14, 1866, an organization committee formally established Lincoln Institute. By June of the same year, it incorporated and the committee became the Lincoln Institute Board of Trustees. Richard Baxter Foster, a former first lieutenant in the 62nd Infantry, was named first principal of Lincoln Institute. On September 17, 1866, the school opened its doors to the first class of two students in an old frame building in Jefferson City.

In 1870, the school began to receive aid from the state of Missouri for teacher training. In 1871, Lincoln Institute moved to its present campus. The curriculum added college-level coursework in 1877, and in 1879 Lincoln formally became a Missouri public institution with the deeding of the property to the state. Inman E. Page, Lincoln’s first president, took office in 1880 and served until 1898, overseeing enrollment growth, the construction of new buildings, hiring of new faculty and an expanding college curriculum. Under the second Morrill Act of 1890, Missouri designated Lincoln a land-grant university, emphasizing studies in agriculture, mechanics and teaching.

and agribusiness into Lincoln’s core offerings. As the school made its way into the 21st century, Lincoln enjoyed a resurgence in athletic programs and technological advancements, both in and out of the classroom. In 2014, John B. Moseley joined Lincoln as head basketball coach, rising to athletic director two years later. He began a term as interim president in May 2021, following the resignation of LU President Jerald Jones Woolfolk. On January 28, 2022, the Lincoln University Board of Curators named John Moseley president of the university.

Today, Lincoln serves a diverse student population, both residential and nonresidential, and offers an array of academic programs, research projects and public services. The university grants associate, bachelor’s and master’s degrees in more than 30 areas of study.

In 1921, the Missouri Legislature passed a bill to expand the school to a four-year college and change the name from Lincoln Institute to Lincoln University, governed by a Board of Curators. Inman Page returned to Lincoln in 1922 to serve one more year as president of the newly designated university. Lincoln’s high school division earned accreditation from the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools in 1925; the teacher-training program followed in 1926 and the four-year College of Arts and Sciences in 1934. Longtime university President Sherman D. Scruggs witnessed tremendous growth during his time at the helm of Lincoln, from 1938 to 1956. Graduate instruction began in the summer session of 1940, with majors in education and history and minors in English, history and sociology. In 1954, following the Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education declaring segregated public schools unconstitutional, Lincoln University opened its doors to all who could meet its entrance criteria, regardless of ethnicity. Enrollment climbed from 400 to more than 1,000 students, triggering a move to expand curriculum and facilities.

The legacy of those long-ago soldiers lives on in the growth of the university and the success of its graduates. The Soldiers’ Memorial Plaza on the campus quadrangle pays artistic tribute to the vision of the men of the 62nd and 65th Regiments and the embodiment of their dream.

Dr. James Frank was the first Lincoln alumnus to become president of the university, serving from 1973 to 1982. During his tenure, Lincoln University enhanced its land-grant status with the Cooperative Extension Center and acquired additional farm property. The Frank administration also developed a broadcast journalism program and began training students at campus television station JCTV. The 1990s saw the growth and integration of nursing, teacher education, computer science 5

Galveston Lee Roy Shipley, 2022 Honorary Degree Recipient

alveston Lee Roy Shipley was born July 14, 1892, in Tipton, Missouri, just two years after the town constructed two separate schools — one for white children and one for Black children. At 6 years old, Shipley began attending the new school for Black children — Harrison School — and developed a lifelong love of learning. Little did he know, he later wrote, just how much Harrison School would dominate his life.

and walk 12 miles to California, Missouri, to take his examinations, scoring in the top 10. At Harrison School, Shipley established Negro History Week observances, athletics, health education and vocational work as extracurricular activities. He expanded the curriculum to include high school. Shipley was proud of Harrison School’s graduates, many of whom became educators, church officials, professors, researchers and skilled tradesmen. “I was always eager for my people to get all that the other races got,” he wrote in his memoir, This Little Light of Mine. “For so long, our state laws held back teachers and pupils alike in Negro schools. Separate but equal was only a slogan, not a reality; but I took the scraps, the hand-medown books and other segregation practices and tried to build up respect for law and order, selfreliance, the use of what was at hand while we hoped and worked for a brighter day.”

Shipley had a keen desire to learn and worked hard to excel in his studies. His parents, with only fifth-grade educations, could offer little help at home. After eighth grade, students who could afford it went elsewhere to high school but Shipley remained at Harrison School for another year in the Black school’s new high school program. He completed ninth grade and then worked another year before a former teacher gave him the opportunity to work for her family and attend George R. Smith College in Sedalia.

In 1957, Shipley retired when Harrison School closed and the students integrated with white students in the Tipton public schools. Yet integration was nothing new for Shipley. “Throughout my schoolroom career, I had practiced integration,” Shipley wrote. “I asked white and Negro people to participate in school programs and visit us often, breaking down the wall of prejudice. White doctors helped me with Health Week observances, white musicians played at programs, a white friend in California gave tools and material for my boys to learn woodcraft … Being the middleman, I worked to get my people to accept and appreciate this kind of cooperation. Long before our state woke up to the reality that all real teachers have the same goals in mind, integrated work on a minor scale was taking place at Harrison School.”

In 1922, the Tipton School Board hired Shipley to teach at Harrison School but several townspeople expressed concern over a “hometown boy” as an instructor. He stopped teaching for a few years but returned to Harrison School in 1925, at the school board’s request, and remained for 32 consecutive years, eventually becoming principal. His starting salary in those days was $40 a month, the same pay his father earned as a janitor. Shipley knew he needed more training to help him educate his students. He began taking summer correspondence courses from Lincoln University and the University of Missouri, which did not yet allow Black students on campus. He continued his coursework for more than 20 years, working toward his degree. In 1936, Shipley served as second vice president of the Central Missouri Association of Negro Teachers. To take his teacher examinations, he would get up early

Galveston Shipley died on March 1, 1978, and is buried in Prairie Grove Cemetery north of Tipton.
