Lincoln University Admissions 1
Lincoln University of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was chartered in April 1854 as Ashmun Institute. As Horace Mann Bond, '23, the eighth president of Lincoln University, so eloquently cites in the opening chapter of his book, Education for Freedom, this was the first institution found anywhere in the world to provide a higher education in the arts and sciences for male youth of African descent. The story of Lincoln University goes back to the early years of the 19th century and to the ancestors of its founder, John Miller Dickey, and his wife, Sarah Emlen Cresson. The Institute was renamed Lincoln University in 1866 after President Abraham Lincoln.
Lincoln is surrounded by the rolling farmlands and wooded hilltops of southern Chester County, Pennsylvania. Its campus is conveniently located on Baltimore Pike, about one mile off US Route 1 -- 45 miles southwest of Philadelphia, 15 miles northwest of Newark, Delaware, 25 miles west of Wilmington, Delaware, and 55 miles north of Baltimore, Maryland.
Since its inception, Lincoln has attracted an interracial and international enrollment from the surrounding community, region, and around the world. The University admitted women students in 1952, and formally associated with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1972 as a state-related, coeducational university. Lincoln currently enrolls approximately 2,000 students.
Located in southern Chester County, Lincoln is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and offers academic programs in undergraduate study in the arts, sciences as well as graduate programs in human services, reading, education, mathematics, and administration. The University is proud of its faculty for the high quality of their teaching, research, and service, and of its alumni, among the most notable of whom are: Langston Hughes, '29, world-acclaimed poet; Thurgood Marshall, '30, first African-American Justice of the US Supreme Court; Hildrus A. Poindexter, '24, internationally known authority on tropical diseases; Roscoe Lee Browne, '46, author and widely acclaimed actor of stage and screen; Jacqueline Allen, '74, judge for the Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia; and Eric C. Webb, '91, author, poet and editor-in-chief of Souls of People.
Many of Lincoln's international graduates have gone on to become outstanding leaders in their countries, including Nnamdi Azikiwe, '30, Nigeria's first president; Kwame Nkrumah, '39, first president of Ghana; Rev. James Robinson, '35, founder of Crossroads Africa, which served as the model for the Peace Corps; and Sibusio Nkomo, Ph.D., '81, chairperson, National Policy Institute of South Africa.
During the first one hundred years of its existence, Lincoln graduated approximately 20 percent of the Black physicians and more than 10 percent of the Black attorneys in the United States. Its alumni have headed over 35 colleges and universities and scores of prominent churches. At least 10 of its alumni have served as United States ambassadors or mission chiefs. Many are federal, state and municipal judges, and several have served as mayors or city managers.

Mark Lyons reads from Homing, A Memoir, Narberth Bookstore, 12/5/2015
Mark Lyons reads from his recently published memoir.
Mark Lyons' collection of short stories, BRIEF EULOGIES AT ROADSIDE SHRINES, was chosen as a 2015 Kirkus Book of the Year. He has also edited two bilingual books: DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES/SUEÑOS Y PESADILLAS, a memoir by a fourteen-year-old girl who fled Guatemala and traveled alone to the United States; and ESPEJOS Y VENTANAS/MIRRORS AND WINDOWS: ORAL HISTORIES OF MEXICAN FARMWORKERS. He is director of the Philadelphia Storytelling Project.
Reviews from the Amazon.com listing:
To read Mark Lyons's Homing is to feel you're in the presence of a writer excavating years of memories—by turns harrowing, confusing, nostalgic, tender—with great honesty and integrity. While at times painful, this memoir doesn't veer into the sensational or sentimental. Nor does it offer easy answers. This book truly moved me. —Elise Juska, author of If We Had Known and The Blessings
Raw and ultimately triumphant, Homing celebrates the healing powers of the natural world and the resilience of the human spirit. —Joy Stocke, author of Anatolian Days and Nights and publisher of Tree of Life Books
Vividly detailed, present-tense prose…filled with adolescent angst, sadness, fears for his future, and anger at his parents.… The author has found peace, but pain and a sense of great loss permeate these pages. A thoughtful, moving account. —Kirkus Reviews
Mark Lyons circles back home again and again, in the face of fear, shame, and danger, ultimately discovering empathy, forgiveness, and love where less honest and bold souls might remain paralyzed by loss and anger. Vivid and lyrical, Homing's haunting narrative provides an eloquent voice for every child so trapped, making it a timeless and important book. —Ned Bachus, author of Open Admissions
A companion piece for Phillip Roth's Portnoy's Complaint, Homing takes the reader further into family history. We root for Lyons, hoping he'll feel lovable again. He holds the reader spellbound, persists in breaking through the walls that his parents constructed. A great read that will find you turning the pages no matter the time, to find out that trust—not distrust—is a bigger part of the human spirit. It took guts to write this book. Most of us insist on living in the shadows. He lets the light in, penetrating every corner. —Hal Sirowitz, former Poet Laureate of Queens, author of Mother Said
A lively and searching teen must face the mental disappearance of his fascinating mother, the center of his family's life in Southern California. The boy's detailed descriptions—particularly in his love for birds—reveal the compassionate man he will become. You'll savor the writing and stay for the story. —Eli Goldblatt, poet and author of Writing Home: A Literacy Autobiography
This poignant book should be read by anyone who has ever wondered about the capacity for joyful engagement with wildlife and the creative resilience of a child in the face of adversity. —Annie Steinberg, M.D., child psychiatrist, University of Pennsylvania

State College fourth most expensive place to l
Reported by: Erin Calandra
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Studies show that State College is one of the most expensive places to live in the state, but the borough said its chipping away at the problem.
According to borough officials, anyone who rents or owns a home shouldnt be paying more than 30 percent of their income for their housing, but in State College 64 percent of renters and 71 percent of owners are paying more than 50 percent.
This is a major problem that borough officials said indicates housing is too expensive in the region.
This information was recently released by the State College Borough through their Fair Housing Analysis Update, something that is required by communities that receive specific grants and money from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Borough officials said State College falls at No. 4 on the list for most expensive in the state, with Pike County taking first, followed by Philadelphia then Allentown.
However, salaries in the Centre region are not comparable to those larger cities.
Officials said theyre chipping away at the problem through several programs that help low income to moderate income families buy or repair homes, helping more than 125 families purchase homes since 1995.
But money is tight and funding has been cut, so they say their plan to combat the affordable housing issue is by continuing with what theyre doing, saying its not something they can fix overnight.
Council is expected to vote on a plan of action in November.

Top 10 Best College Towns list of coolest university town in US 2018
List of the best college towns and cities. These locations provide not just a great university giving students a world-class education, but also a fun and diverse environment that'd conducive to learning, building a community and personal network and, more generally, gaining life experience. (There's also some fun places to party in most of them. You know, if any college students you know are into that sort of thing.)
A college town can refer to any area where the population is considerably impacted, or even dominated, by a local college or university. Typically, this indicates an area that has a relatively low population compared to the number of students at a university. Large cities with a lot of university students - such as Boston or Philadelphia - do not typically count as college towns because of the overall number of cities counter-acting the influence of college students.
Towns that do have an overwhelmingly large number of college students tend to be impacted in familiar ways. Often, there will be additional bookstores, coffee shops, independent movie theaters, record stores and other businesses that appeal largely to a younger, academic demographic. Additionally, there will also be a surplus of bars and inexpensive restaurants. Rent prices also tend to be affected by the demand for housing in the area near to the university, or to public transportation leading to the university.
This list collects Ranker Community picks for the coolest, most fun college towns in the US. Vote up your favorites, and if the place where your favorite townies live isn't listed, make your own version of the list and add it on there!

Video: Why consider the University of Delaware?
Some public universities lure a large number of students from out-of-state. University of Delaware is one of those. Delaware is the second smallest state in the United States. With about 14,500 undergraduates, UD is smaller than a lot of other state universities. And over 60% of the student body comes from outside of the state of Delaware. Out-of-state students have to pay a higher tuition rate, but that rate is not horribly expensive, by national standards. I think it is a wonderful place for Chinese students to consider. Its size is smaller than many other places, and its location is convenient to the city centers of Philadelphia, New York City, and Baltimore.

Sometimes described as the father of modern linguistics, Chomsky is also a major figure in analytic philosophy and one of the founders of the field of cognitive science. He is the author of over 100 books on topics such as linguistics, war, politics, and mass media. Ideologically, he aligns with anarcho-syndicalism and libertarian socialism. He holds a joint appointment as Institute Professor Emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and laureate professor at the University of Arizona.
Born to middle-class Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants in Philadelphia, Chomsky developed an early interest in anarchism from alternative bookstores in New York City. At the age of 16 he began studies at the University of Pennsylvania, taking courses in linguistics, mathematics, and philosophy. From 1951 to 1955 he was appointed to Harvard University's Society of Fellows, where he developed the theory of transformational grammar for which he was awarded his doctorate in 1955. That year he began teaching at MIT, in 1957 emerging as a significant figure in the field of linguistics for his landmark work Syntactic Structures, which remodeled the scientific study of language, while from 1958 to 1959 he was a National Science Foundation fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study. He is credited as the creator or co-creator of the universal grammar theory, the generative grammar theory, the Chomsky hierarchy, and the minimalist program. Chomsky also played a pivotal role in the decline of behaviorism, being particularly critical of the work of B. F. Skinner.
