Restoring and preserving these structures are essential. They are national landmarks.

These buildings hold so much history and architectural beauty. Please don't wipe out 160 years of our LU legacy.

Did you know that Lincoln U was also a stop on the Under Ground Railroad?

In the same way that Pennsylvania would not consider making scrap metal out of the Liberty Bell, do not consider sending our historic buildings to the rubbish heap. PRESERVE OUR BUILDINGS AND OUR HISTORY.

The amazing history of Lincoln University is told by many of it's historic structures still present on the campus. Please keep these tangible parts of LU's history and protect them for future generations. Establishing an historic district will not only protect the buildings, but will highlight the cultural and architectural significance of the buildings and the University.

Please consider the LUHI proposal for the Lincoln University Historic District. I lived near Lincoln University years ago and frequented the library on campus when I was pursuing my master's degree. Recently, I was fortunate enough to move back to this area. I am not an alum of Lincoln but I have a strong sense of pride and respect for the school's history and hope that the physical evidence of Lincoln University's contributions to society can remain represented through the preservation of some of these beautiful and historic buildings.

How many historic buildings on Princeton's campus are administrators there planning to raize? How many on Harvard's or Yale's campus? I submit it would be heresy for administrators there to contemplate such a move. But at Lincoln it's OK??

History is within those very buildings you are attempting to destroy. You have legends that have come from your campus who have changed the nation, views, and lives of their generations and those of us that have followed, which includes my parents, especially my father.

We owe it ourselves to treasure all aspects of our history, especially our institutions.

I attended Lincoln (first!), then transferred. My great grandfather, Reverend George R. Brabham, graduated LU in 1894. Our family wholeheartedly supports designation of the Lincoln University Historic District!

There's hallowed ground all around the campus, though the woods and over the fields; where the underground railroad came up for air. Peace.

Save our landmarks, these are not just buildings but reminders how far the campus of LU has grown. Preserving these buildings will also preserve the many years of fond memories of learning and the building lifetime friendships.
