Class year designates graduation from Lincoln University.
Lincoln University of Missouri, a historically Black, 1890 land-grant, public, comprehensive institution, provides a diverse population access to excellent educational opportunities through teaching, research, and extension services within a nurturing, student-centered environment.
The 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.
A special committee appointed by President Wendell G. Rayburn Sr. designed the Lincoln University mace in the fall of 1989. The detailed artwork was created by associate professor of art James Tatum with Dr. Joe Simmons, Lucius Jones, Charles Jackson and William Wood.
As 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.
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.
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
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.
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.

The first Black male to serve in the Missouri Senate in two decades, Senator Brian Williams has been representing the 14th Senatorial District in St. Louis County since 2018 and currently serves as the assistant minority floor leader. Williams’s background in government and public health policy led him to work as a congressional staffer and oversee Missouri’s rollout of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Marketplace. He also played a key role in securing the new headquarters of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency in north St. Louis.
During his legislative career, Williams has passed comprehensive police reforms into law, which established the strongest use of force database in the country, prohibited law enforcement from using a respiratory chokehold without deadly force authorization, and shortened the delay to request an expungement for those who have paid their debt to society. In 2022, Williams secured $98 million for North St. Louis County projects, including funding for the construction of the “Campus of the Future” at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, a public safety training facility, and renovations to the St. Louis Metro Employment and Training Center.
Mike Kehoe is Missouri’s 48th lieutenant governor. Prior to this position, thenSenator Kehoe represented the Sixth Senatorial District, where he served as both Assistant Majority Leader and Majority Leader.
He serves as Chairman of the Missouri Food, Beverage and Forest Manufacturing Products Task Force, helping prepare Missouri family farms to meet the agriculture and food production needs of the future. He also works to promote infrastructure and workforce development as a member of the Missouri Development Finance Board. Under his leadership, the Buy Missouri program has grown to more than 500 members representing 98 counties from across the state.
Lieutenant Governor Kehoe has been honored by the Missouri Cattlemen’s Association, the Missouri Association of Electric Cooperatives, and many others for his legislative accomplishments, including being named the Statesman of the Year Award for his work as floor leader. As a businessman, he received the Time Magazine Quality Dealer Award, Ford’s President Award, and he was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame. Alongside his wife, Claudia, he enjoys being a first-generation farmer working at his beef cattle production business located on the family farm in Phelps County.
One of the most prestigious awards bestowed by the University, conferred by the President, the Presidential Medallion recognizes the distinctive contributions the honoree has made to the University through a demonstrated commitment to the success of Lincoln University students, exemplified dedicated service in public or private endeavors that enhance the academic and professional community, and/or the personification of the ideals and mission of Lincoln University.
The Lincoln University commencement exercises on May 13, 2023, include the inaugural conferrals of the Presidential Medallion to keynote speakers Senator Brian Williams and Lieutenant Governor Mike Kehoe.
A senior associate dean for faculty and Meadows Foundation Distinguished Professor of Voice at Southern Methodist University Meadows School of the Arts, Barbara Hill Moore has performed with orchestras throughout the U.S. and Western Europe, singing in opera, concert, and recital, premiering the works of many American composers. Prior to SMU, she taught at Millikin University, the St. Louis Public School System and the St. Louis Archdiocese. She received a B.S. from Lincoln University of Missouri in 1965 and an M.S. as a graduate fellow from the University of Illinois.
In 2000, Moore began relationships with faculty and students at many universities including: University of South Africa and Tshwane University of Technology in Pretoria, University of Cape Town, Stellenbosch University, University of the Western Cape near Cape Town, University of the North West in Potchefstroom, Nelson Mandela University, University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg and the University of KwaZulu-Natal in Durban, South Africa. She recruited and provided visa support and scholarships for singers from these schools and neighboring high schools who presently serve as the first Black South Africans to chair voice and music schools in four of the top university programs in South Africa. Moore has received numerous awards, including the Lift Every Voice: Legacy Award from the National Opera Association. The National Association of Teachers of Singing recently created the Barbara Hill Moore Award for Emerging Teaching Artists in her honor.
A former LU Blue Tiger, Michael J. Kampeter is the president of Diamond Pet Foods and has helped grow the company into the third largest pet food company in the world.
The 1980 graduate of Helias High School attended Lincoln University, where he was a member of the Blue Tiger baseball team. He left Lincoln before completing his degree to work for his father, Richard, and uncle, Gary, in their family’s business, Diamond Pet Foods, in Meta, Missouri.
During Kampeter’s early years, he worked on the floor at the company, where he cleaned floors, bagged feed and stacked bags. Eventually, he talked his father and uncle into putting him on the road for sales. Kampeter loaded the car and drove across the United States, spreading the word about the company’s vision for premium pet food produced at an affordable price.
Married to Paige Kampeter, he is the proud father of three: Brandon, Trey and Claire. He has two grandchildren, Gwynn and Reese.

We will never bring disgrace to Lincoln University by any act of cowardice or dishonesty. We will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the University. We will transmit our University to those who come after us, greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.
As an alumnus of the University, I commit myself to uphold the ideals of Lincoln and to reflect its teaching. My voice and my hands shall exalt and preserve its good name.
I shall be responsible, active, courageous, and self-sacrificing in every effort to establish for my Alma Mater an even higher place in its service to teaching, to discovering and to disseminating useful knowledge among men and women of the state, the nation, the earth.
Lincoln, O, Lincoln
We thy proud children are; Thou art our guiding star, Lincoln, believe. Ours are hearts that yearn for thee No matter where we be; Morning, noon, and always, we Are Lincolnites.
Thy name, O, Lincoln Shall e’er to us be dear. Thy mem’ries sacred, near Hold us to thee.
Thy honors ours shall be, Thy cause when just shall we With loyalty defend –For thee we’d die.
Lincoln, O, Lincoln!
We thy proud children are; Our hearts both near and far Love thee with delight. No matter where we are; Whether present, absent, far, Morning, noon, we always are True Lincolnites!
