African American Higher Education Lincoln University Fraternity and Sorority Event Photograph Showing Student Life and Greek Letter Culture 1920s to 1930s

1920223581920. Lincoln University fraternity and sorority event photograph. circa late 1920s to early 1930s. This photograph documents African American student social and organizational life at Lincoln University in Jefferson City Missouri during segregation recording a formal gathering associated with a Greek letter society identified in the image as "Delta Alpha Phi." The image provides primary visual evidence of early Black collegiate organizations and ceremonial culture capturing students assembled in formal attire within a decorated interior space that emphasizes collective identity celebration and structured social life on an HBCU campus. Sepia photograph measuring approximately 11 x 7 inches with pencil inscription on the verso reading "Lincoln University Jefferson City Missouri." The image shows a large group of African American men and women posed in rows beneath hanging streamers and a banner bearing the Greek letters "Delta Alpha Phi." The men wear tuxedos with boutonnières while the women appear in satin gowns with drop-waist silhouettes and styled hair consistent with late 1920s fashion. The arrangement suggests a formal event or ceremony with participants seated and standing in coordinated formation. The interior setting is decorated for the occasion with visual emphasis on the banner and collective presentation of the group. During the early twentieth century African American fraternities and sororities developed on college campuses as student-led organizations providing social structure mutual support and leadership opportunities in the absence of access to white Greek systems. Institutions such as Lincoln University served as key sites for the formation of these networks which contributed to professional and civic leadership in Black communities. Minor loss to right-side corners and edge; overall good. A clear visual record of early African American Greek-letter social organization within an HBCU setting during the interwar period. unknown

Two Lincoln Union Ladies' Tickets to the Lincoln Union Ball: January 5th 1870 and January 26th 1871

1871334508New York 1871. Unbound. Near Fine. Two printed tickets each with a mounted albumen photograph in cabinet card format 4.25 x 6.25 inches. The back side of each ticket has a faint printed design on white glazed paper. Both tickets are neatly trimmed along the right edge near fine with a few tiny perimeter tears and light toning. The first ticket from 1870 has a mounted albumen photograph of a painting by A.H. Ritchie of Lincoln with his cabinet reading the Emancipation Proclamation. The second ticket from 1871 has a mounted albumen photograph of a statue of Lincoln reading a newspaper with Grant and whom we believe is Gideon Wells. The Lincoln Union Social Club a pro-Republican party function held its first ball in New York City in 1870. These two ephemeral items tickets for the first and second balls are not to be confused with the invitations that preceded them. Of the two the tickets may be a rarer survival. We know of only one other copy of the 1870 ticket at the Library of Congress. unknown

TYPED LETTER SIGNED by JOHN J. PERSHING on "GENERAL OF THE ARMY" letterhead to the founder of The Dial Press Lincoln MacVeagh.

192798654Washington D.C.: June 18 1927. 1927. Very good. - Over 85 words typed on 9-1/4 inch high by 7 inch wide "GENERAL OF THE ARMIES" letterhead with attached integral blank leaf. General Pershing writes to Lincoln MacVeagh founder and president of The Dial Press thanking him for sending "a copy of Mr. Mottram's work 'The Spanish Farm Trilogy'. I appreciate very much your kind thought of me". The letter is signed in full "John J. Pershing". The World War I novel which Pershing mentions centers on a Flemish farm woman around whom the author relates his war experiences. MacVeagh published the work at his Dial Press in 1927 the year of this letter. Folded for mailing with some light creases to the edges and inner corners. Very good. A wonderful association as "With the American Expeditionary Force in World War 1 Mr. MacVeagh served in the Artois St. Mihiel and Meuse Argonne campaigns as an aide to the commanding general of the 80th Division and of the Ninth and Sixth Army Corps. He rose to major and was cited by General of the Armies John J. Pershing in 1919 for exceptionally meritorious services". - Quoted from the New York Times January 17 1972 issue.John Joseph Pershing 1860-1948 nicknamed "Black Jack" was a senior United States Army officer. He served most famously as the commander of the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I from 1917 to 1920. Pershing is the only American to be promoted in his own lifetime to General of the Armies the highest possible rank in the United States Army.Lincoln MacVeagh 1890-1972 a Renaissance man graduated from Harvard magna cum laude in 1913. He went on to study languages at the Sorbonne and became fluent in German French Spanish Latin Greek and Classical Greek. After World War I he became a director of the Henry Holt and Company publishing firm where he became friendly with the poet Robert Frost. In 1923 he left the firm and founded the Dial Press. His name appears on the imprint of many of their publications. In 1933 President Roosevelt appointed him Minister to Greece. He followed presentation of his credentials with a speech in Classical Greek. While in Greece he conducted excavations beneath the Acropolis and made archeological contributions to the National Museum in Athens. He left Greece in 1941 when the German army over ran the country. From there he was appointed the first US Minister to Iceland where he negotiated agreements for the construction of the Keflavik airfield. In late 1942 he became Minister to the Union of South Africa and coordinated American wartime agencies there. In 1943 he was sent to Cairo as Ambassador so that he could assist the governments in exile of Greece and Yugoslavia. He returned to Athens as Ambassador in 1944. MacVeagh gave secret testimony before Congress concerning the Balkans in 1947 testimony that was an important factor in the formation of the Truman Doctrine. In 1948 as Ambassador to Portugal MacVeagh was influential in admitting her into NATO. In 1952 President Truman named him Ambassador to Spain. President Truman wrote to him on March 9 1948: "On the occasion of your appointment as Ambassador to Portugal I would like to make some personal expression of appreciation for the high services you have already rendered your country. During the past fifteen critical years you have served with distinction as Chief of the United states Missions to Iceland the Union of South Africa Yugoslavia and Greece. In this last post especially - as Minister from 1933 to 1941 and as Ambassador since 1943 - your scholarly statesmanship and diplomatic judgment have been of the utmost value."

Some chipping/tearing around corners and edges mostly on spine ends. Small piece missing on the back top left corner. Thomas McDade's author of The Annals of Murder peronal copy with his bookplate and notes in pencil. With two TLS from the author in response to a letter from McDade. In McDade's letter dated February 6 1968 he starts by congratulating Lincoln on the book and then admonishes her lack of an index or footnotes. McDade brings up "the pigeon killing episode on page 56" and asks "did I overlook that in previous readings on this case" He brings up some other discrepancies and typos in her writing goes on to congratulate Lincoln again and invites her to a meeting of the "Society of Connoisseurs in Murder" in New York. In Lincoln's response she says "I do hope this letter reaches you. Alas I can't decipher your signature" and then writes to "warn your secretary to type your name below that charming dashing uptilted and totally illegible name!" She then recognizes some of McDade's criticisms; "The books is full of typos; also of copywriter's meddlings." Lincoln brings up the "pigeon killing episode" and says everything in the book had been vetted "except in such instances as I clearly said "This is suppostitious " or "this is hearsay." Later she acknowledges McDade's comments about the lack of index. "You make me feel that some day when I'm a book away from Lizzie I should dig out my still remaining bushels of notes get them back into order make and index and an appendix consisting of full annotation and persuade a publisher to put out a limited edition for Borden buffs. Oh God what an exhausting notion--no come to consider it you only make me feel that I should feel that way." In her second later she starts with "The pigeons bit has continued to bug me." She then lays out her sources and her reasons for including it in the book. She finishes the letter with "You put your finger on my Achilles heel--those pigeons. G. P. Putnam's Sons unknown

The attack never progressed beyond the line Ft Douaumont not the village - Cote du Poivre which is the most thoroughly destroyed bit of landscape I have seen in France."Lincoln MacVeagh dates his reading and annotations at the end of the text on page 350.
