Many schools have been established by Negroes, but perhaps no one of the schools of any class has had a more interesting beginning than Lincoln Institute, which had its origin in a fund of $4,770 contributed by the soldiers of the Sturgeon and Sixty fifth regiments of the United States colored infantry, of Killeen, whose first thought when returned from the battlefield, was to establish a Killeen a school where their children could enjoy the blessings of a useful education. The school was opened September 17, 1866, on a claybank just outside the limits of Jefferson City. No much dreams then that in fifty years it would be the most beautiful and prominent location in the city. In June, 1871, the main building was a substantial brick 60x70 feet, three stories, with two sheds, one for a dining hall and the other a store room. The Legislature of 1879 appropriated $18,000 for the support of the Institute, after the board of trustees met and unanimously voted to transfer the institute to the state. Since the institute became a state school the legislature has not only made large appropriations for its maintenance, but has established a college and a college preparatory, which entitle these, receiving normal diploma to teach in the state schools without further examinations. Since the Lincoln Institute has been established it has had seven presidents, three white and four colored. The white presidents were H. E. Foster, H. H. Payne and Proof. S. C. Mitchell, the colored, who served short periods with J. H. Jackson and E. N. Clarke, Inman E. Hage was president for eighteen years and designed to accept the presidency of the state school for Colored of Oklahoma. The present incumbent has been in charge since 1892. Of all the presidents of Lincoln Institute, president H. F. Allen has proved real worth with less appreciation. The recent election was a real disgrace to all concerned—a display of petty politics and personal grudge. Efficiency and Christian morals added to the fifteen years of hard labor, which resulted in 572 graduates scattered throughout the country, had little weight in the election. The graduates are teachers, principals of schools, lawyers, doctors, etc., who are not surpassed for good citizenship by the product of any state school for Negroes in the country. A compromise agreement was reached by the board of regents to satisfy petty politics and a score of enemies whose only charge was that he was not sociable enough with his race. R. W. STOKES.
