History
Motto and crest
In 1953, a year after the opening of the College, the Council adopted as the College motto one strongly recommended by the Master, the Rev. Frank Hambly. It was Per Litteras ad Fidem (through Learning to Faith).
The College Council invited college members to submit designs for a coat of arms. Several designs were submitted. The chosen design was devised by John Burchmore, later to become President of the College Club and drawn by Nicholas Feodoroff. With some modifications suggested by the College of Arms it was accepted and officially granted by the College.
Lincoln College (chartered Lincoln University) is a private, independent liberal arts college located in Lincoln, Illinois. Most of Lincoln College's programs are two years, designed for students to begin their studies at Lincoln, then transfer to a four-year institution to complete their degree. Lincoln College was established in 1865 by the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, but is now independent and has no formal church affiliation. There were a few sites that were looked at as possibilities, and in December 1864, the site of Lincoln was selected. Due to the Civil War, the denomination wanted to create a college in the North because the denomination's other schools were located in the South. At this same time a movement started in the new community of Lincoln to start a college. On February 6, 1865, the Illinois General Assembly granted the charter that established the university. President Lincoln was aware the school would be named after him. Lincoln University was the first institution named for Abraham Lincoln and the only one during his lifetime. The groundbreaking for University Hall, the first college building, was held on the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, which was six days after the charter had been granted. By September 1866, University Hall's construction was completed. In November 1866, the college opened its doors to men and women alike. In 1868, there were three people who received their degrees.
