2.   LINCOLN SCHOOL ENROLLS 62 IN FIRST CLASS

     The 62 high school students representing 15 Kentucky counties
in the Lincoln School's first class were told at a first convocation
on September 6 that the school presents a unique opportunity for the
individual student, and from the individual "things can be learned
that will be beneficial to education in this state and even the nation."

     President Oswald told the students and 25 guests that "the
Lincoln School enters into a new era of responsibility, and it is
hoped that the new school will measure up to its responsibility as
did Lincoln Institute throughout its history."

     The school, operated by the University, will serve chosen bright
youngsters who may have been economically and culturally disadvantaged.
Eventually the school is expected to have about 250 youngsters in the
first four high school grades.
