Lincoln College Marks 135th Anniversary

[FEB. 14, 2000]  Lincoln College celebrated 135 years of existence at Charter Day observances Sunday, Feb. 13. The granting of the school's charter was marked by speeches and by giving special recognition to honored alumni and public figures. President Jack Nutt presided over the ceremonies in the Johnston Center on the Lincoln College campus. He reminded the audience of the college's commitment in 1865 to its namesake, President Abraham Lincoln, "to do justice to your name." Several speakers expressed their belief that the college's promise had been fulfilled.

"The Astronaut's Wife"

I might even recommend it to the mature viewer who enjoys the thrill of a well-written modern horror plot.
