We have raised three million, four hundred, ninety-two thousand, five hundred and fifty-nine dollars and fifty-three cents for scholarships so far.In celebration of Lincoln Hall’s long-awaited renovation, have your name—or the names of those you wish to honor— memorialized in Lincoln Hall by making a gift to the college’s scholarship fund.

Give to the Lincoln Hall Scholarship Fund.

Engrave your name on a paver, bench, or chair.

I took a Natural History of the Vertebrates course from Professor H.H. Shoemaker over in the Vivarium. One of the requirements of the course was to stuff a bird and a mammal. One of my coursemates was lucky enough to find a pheasant that had killed itself by flying into the side of Lincoln Hall and he got to stuff it.
