These students arc liy no
means.the first to make Ihc long
.trip from Africa to Lin()ln
Cniversity, for over 12;’) Afrje
The arrival of this grouj) con
trasts sharply with that of 11
students from LilMM'ia, nlio cn
teml the rnivei-sity in IHTli.
They came by sailing ves.s'l. and
were over two moiiths in making
the journey. When th(“y arrived
they were attired in native garb..j
had only the rudimtnits of an
education, and -the rniversity
was obligH.I to provide them
with everything, including fi>od,
lodging, clothing, and even soap.
Since at that time there wa.s no
colonial school system, they wt're
educated at the hands of Lincoln
Cniversity graduates in Africa,
who selected them from bright,
boys “right out of the bush.”
They remained at Lincoln I'ni-
vci'sity for-periods from 8 tji> L?
>'ears, going .stie'e.ssively Ihrongli

thill iit Ihc lime of their arrival,
the .school was .so hrok(> that
their boat pas.sagc went unpaid
until ten years lati'r.

began as Ashmiin Inslilnto. The

the fii-st three grahiatcs sailed

In 19129, Nnamdo .A'ikiw
graduated from Lincoln. He is
now the undisputed leader of 11h
Nationalistic movement in Wes'
Africa, and the most prominent
African living.. Distinguishing
himself in forensies, in scholar
ship alid sports, Azikiwe wai-
loved by all his.fellow' Americam
and teachei-s. As though by
magic he drew to Lincoln T’ni
versity and to other American
I'niversities a host of ambitious
youngsters who have blazed
frail of high schj)larship both at
Lincoln aiid at other American
in.stitntions.
Africans at Lincoln, are- im
mediately recognized a.s bright
and promising scholars, and
Lincoln Fnivrsity exalts high
scholarship. Nine Nigerian boys
entered Lincoln Uuivrsity in
February, 1947. At the end of
the firet term, .eight of these
nine boys were on the first honor
list.
The African people are awak
ening. American opinion has
been that they were savages, of
dull mentality. Their awakening
shows that ill these people.s are^
marvelously •|uick and alert
minds lliat can eauily assimilate
Western Civili/.ation in the hu
manities and sciences.
It is the )|)inion of many com
mentators and students of world
affairs that Afriea is the key to
the future of Western Civiliza
tion. Its resoun-es are yet nn-
lapped, and now that Europe is
cut off from Asia, he exploita
tion of these resources- must be-
uiii. The (H'onomic condition of
ihc Gold C'oa.st and Nigeria are
in • particular most advanced.
The rt'gion is a fertile jirospecti
for development and the further
exten>Vion of Aimerican jnflu-
"iicc throughout the world.
This is wJiat Lincoln Univer
sity has achieved for African
students. It ha.s given inspira
tion and training to more than
1.')0 African students, during it.s
years of existence.
