Lincoln University

On December 6,1865,President Lincoln abated slavery stating that all slaves would be freed and no longer be forced to work for no reward. In our own country today, however, many students across the nation are being forced to do just that,work for no reward. In the article “Required Volunteerism;School Program Tested” by Michael Winerip, It shows that in just two schools alone,175 students are at risk of not graduating because they did not give in to the volunteer program. Didn’t we learn from…

Aside from the content, the language you use will be the biggest deciding factor. The ability to talk with authority and authenticity. As David Bartholomae puts it in his essay “Inventing The University,” “The students have to appropriate (or be appropriated by) a specialized discourse.” Bartholomae uses examples of actual placement essays to support his idea. In response to an essay about a clay model and the meaning of creativity written in an…

Imagine yourself being a new high school graduate that just received your accepted letter from your dream university. You are blasting with excitement as you read the letter that you cannot woke to get everything you need in order. So you start contacting advisors to found out what classes you need to take and even applying for on campus housing, because the university is in another city or even state. After finally getting everything done such as classing, meal plans, and even housing pick, the…

Students enter university and college unaware of the world opening to them. They are no longer seen as young, naïve, and blind to the real world; they are expected to just wake up and be knowledgeable about taxes, bills, or loans when they have never been exposed to these things in their twelve years of public school education. Being naïve blooms into ignorance when they choose to not learn, and instead willfully stay in their specific mindset. When students do not learn from the world from…

Imagine if you were a college athlete striving to provide entertainment for your student body and college fans, along with bringing in revenue for your school. Would you want to be paid for all the hard work, time, and dedication you put in, or are scholarships and grants enough to satisfy you? Whether or not college athletes should be paid is a huge controversy in today’s society and includes many pros and cons. One pro being that college athletics provide revenue for companies, but if we were…

Like many American people, I am currently going through college to pursue a higher education in hope that I will land a well paying in job in my field of study. That is how our society’s socioeconomic ladder works; once you graduate high school, you then go to college if you are able to afford it so you can land a job making middle class income in order to live out “The American Dream”. But with college tuition being at an all time high and student loan debt crippling most college grads, it is…

engagement with previous Lincoln historians. Eric Foner stated that "His intent is to return Lincoln to his historical setting, tracing the evolution of his ideas in the context of the broad antislavery impulse and the unprecedented crisis the United States confronted during his adult life." (Foner prefacexvii) That being said, Foner said he wanted to isolate Lincoln's exact thinking on slavery at different times in his life, while also trying to break this image of Lincoln that he feels…

Education is becoming ridiculously expensive, yet at the same time, is now one of the most vital things to survive in this changing world. One of the oldest colleges in American history, Harvard University, founded in 1636, costs $60,659 for tuition, room, board and fees combined. But was it always this expensive? What percentage of 20-somethings actually even went to college back when it all first began? Today, it is almost a given that when high school is done, you are supposed to go to…
