Founder’s
Day/Alumni Weekend 2004 Photo Gallery
April
30 through May 2, 2004 was a time to remember for alumni and friends
of Lincoln University.
While
2004 marks the 50th anniversary of Lincoln’s 1954 Emeritus
class and the reunion for class years ending in the 4s and 9s,
the University invited all of its graduating classes back to the
campus to celebrate Lincoln’s 150th anniversary. The following
are scenes from the Emeritus Luncheon, the Alumni Photo Session
and the Founder’s Day & Alumni Awards Banquet, which
honored more than 50 alumni for their financial contributions
to Lincoln University. As of May 1, 2004, Lincoln reunion classes
raised more than $520,000 for this year’s event.
