Honor Roll of Donors 2010-2011
From the President
B. James Dawson, EdD
I
n August as we began a new year at Lincoln Memorial
University, we also reflected on 2010-2011 and its incredible
impact on our institution. Growth continued in so many
areas - certainly in our physical plant but also organizationally,
academically and fiscally. Each of these areas are interdependent,
and none of them would enjoy such success without our donors.
In order to deliver the services that are vital to a quality educational
experience, we must have people. Lincoln Memorial University is
one of the largest employers in Claiborne County. Additionally, we
have numerous employees at our 11 extended learning sites.These
same employees are fiscally-minded and attentive to the budgeting
process from beginning to end. New technology, as well as effective use
of existing technology, has aided in the budget process. New programs
have emerged and will continue to emerge as we complete construction
of the state-of-the-art Math and Science Center scheduled to open Fall 2012.
With every new campus improvement comes a new opportunity to enrich the
lives of our students.
The area that is the most talked about – and rightly so – is our physical plant.
Perhaps I am prejudiced, but I don’t believe you will find a more beautiful college campus
in the country. Nestled in these picturesque mountains is a university that was envisioned by
a great leader and continues to prosper because of great leadership. Our Board of Trustees has
taken the vision of Mr. Lincoln literally and insists that we follow a course to sustain our mission
and purpose.You, too, have shown your devotion to the worthy cause by continuing to give of
your time, your talents and your dollars.
Please accept our sincerest appreciation for your generous support as we continue this
journey of educating tomorrow’s great leaders. We hope that your desire to partner with
us will remain steadfast.
“The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the
stormy present. As our case is new, so we must think
anew and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves,
and then we shall save our country.”
-Lincoln’s annual message to Congress,
December 1, 1862

Why Philanthropy Matters
From the Chairman of the Board
O. V. “Pete” DeBusk, ‘65
L
incoln Memorial University has
experienced tremendous growth over
the past few years. We are enormously
proud of our medical school, the LMUDeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine
that opened its doors in 2007, and our law
school, the LMU-John J. Duncan School of
Law, that welcomed its first class in 2009. In
progress is a new facility that will improve
undergraduate math and science offerings.
All of these things are possible because you,
our alumni and friends, have continued to
support us despite the tough economic
times. As a result of the growth in academic
programs, our on-campus population is
increasing as well, creating an immediate
need for additional campus housing.
In LMU’s 115-year history vision, foresight
and leadership have played important
roles in the founding, growth and success
of the University. It was LMU’s namesake,
President Abraham Lincoln, who first
challenged people to see this great
institution when he pointed to a map and
told General O.O. Howard to go there and do something for the loyal people of Appalachia.
And now LMU’s leadership is again challenging students, faculty, staff and the community
to see the vibrant future of this career-path University. Because of you and your support,
we’ve seen our enrollment grow by nearly 60%; we’ve opened the doors to Tennessee’s
newest medical and law schools; and we’ve seen those new programs grow even in their
infancy with the addition of the Physician Assistant Program at LMU-DCOM and a full-time
day program at LMU-DSOL. LMU is literally moving mountains as it continues to develop
its 1,000-acre campus in Harrogate. The nearly 140,000 square foot building that will be
the home for math, science and nursing classrooms and labs is well underway. It will also
include space for student and faculty research. The new programs and facilities have had an
even more dramatic effect on our undergraduate enrollment. Our University housing was at
capacity for fall, and we continue to push our dining facilities to the limit. The time to act is
now. We appreciate your continued support despite the daunting times, and we hope you
can help us solve our housing crunch.
Please contact us today to see how you can be a part of our exciting growth.

Writer-In-Residence Darnell Arnoult began offering a free six-week writing class
to staff, faculty and community members (18 years or older) who are not currently
enrolled full-time in a degree-granting program at LMU. According to Arnoult, the
focus of the writing class will change from semester to semester. The first series of
classes were about “Mining the Mother Load.” The community writing class adds
to a host of literary programs and events already established at LMU. LMU brings
in acclaimed writers throughout the year to read from their recent works with the
Appalachian Reading Series.

The Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum welcomed a traveling exhibit including
an authentic replica of Abraham Lincoln’s coffin from the Batesville Casket Company.
The replica was on display at the Museum for just one week and took its place beside
the permanent Lincoln Funeral display. The authentic replica is six foot six inches
long and is constructed of solid walnut and completely covered in black broadcloth
with a white satin interior. It is not lined with lead and adorned with a silver plate
(inscribed with Lincoln’s date of birth and death) as President Lincoln’s coffin was.
The outside is adorned with silver-colored handles and silver tacks extending the
entire length of the coffin’s sides.

The lives of 246 needy children in the tri-state community were made a little
brighter thanks to the efforts of the RoHo Fishing Club in Middlesboro, Ky., and
volunteers from the athletic department at LMU. The children were bused to WalMart in Middlesboro for the RoHo Fishing Club’s annual shopping spree where
they were paired up with 77 athletes, coaches and staff from LMU’s athletics
program, along with volunteers from other local banks and organizations. The
volunteers helped each child spend $150 -- $40 for toys and $110 for clothing –
which was raised by a fishing tournament that RoHo puts on each year.

The School of Business unveiled a new major in energy management that
will prepare students for the challenges of leading in a green economy
and to direct and develop new sources of energy in the future. The major
launched in the fall of 2011. The School of Business will prepare students
enrolling in this major by providing them with the necessary leadership
skills to succeed in the new green economy. This program will also prepare
future leaders for tomorrow’s “green collar” jobs by working closely with
current energy producers and those involved in creating new energy
sources to provide jobs to the local economy.

Thirty students and two teachers from Kanto Senior High School in Tokyo, Japan,
arrived on campus for a customary six weeks stay where they engage in rigorous,
immersive English studies and an extracurricular cultural program that exposes
them to the richness of the culture of the Appalachian region. This particular
group came days after the 8.9 magnitude earthquake rocked Japan and triggered a
catastrophic tsunami. The LMU-Kanto program has been in existence since 1979.

The Black Law Student Association (BLSA) of the Lincoln Memorial UniversityDuncan School of Law organized a teddy bear drive to benefit the Knoxville
Police Department and the juvenile courts in the area.The student organization
spent the week prior to Easter encouraging students, faculty and staff to support
the cause. BLSA worked with DSOL faculty to offer incentives to students who
participated. A total of 277 stuffed animals were donated. Often when law
enforcement officers respond to a call, there are children present. Officers
routinely carry teddy bears or stuffed animals with them to offer the children
for comfort and to help ease the stress of the situation, making the call easier to
respond to.

Air Force Historian
Dr. Margaret DePalma,‘80, is a 509th Bomb
Wing historian at Whiteman Air Force Base
in Mo. DePalma compiles 12-months worth
of history at a time into a 400 or more page
narrative and 2,000 documents playing out
Whiteman’s history. According to an Air
Force spokesman, DePalma’s job is to shape
the information battlefield to extract the
meaningful information for leadership to use
as an aid in assessing the implications of real
world events. He says the wing commander
depends on her to provide context. Her job is
not done simply sitting behind a desk hovering
over documents. DePalma also deploys to
gather details about different wings, and their
different missions.

Mission of Hope Director
Emmette Thompson is in the
business of asking for donations,
but he is also very passionate
about education and its importance
to the people of the Appalachian region
that his organization serves. A few years ago,
Thompson introduced the Courtney family to
LMU. The family wanted to establish a scholarship
to honor Dedrick Andrew “Andy” Courtney, who had
passed away. Mr. Courtney volunteered many hours to
the Mission of Hope organization. The Courtney children
Caroline, Connor and Claire were with Thompson for the
presentation of the scholarship to Jonathan K. Spires in Spring 2011.

Anna Ruth Longmire and Bobby Longmire Collier shared a close sisterhood throughout their life. The pair
attended LMU just two years apart; Longmire was a member of the Class of 1938 and Collier the Class of 1940.
Following LMU, they remained close and eventually passed away within weeks of one another.
Longmire, of Andersonville,Tenn., was a lifelong educator in Anderson County. Collier, who resided in Knoxville
and Anderson County, married a contractor and was a homemaker. Both were passionate about education,
particularly the education they received at LMU. Following their March 2010 passings, both left generous estate
gifts to their alma mater. Longmire’s gift provided funds to equip a new instructional technology classroom in the
Carter and Moyers School of Education.The Collier estate has provided a gift establishing the Bobby L. and James
F. Collier Endowed Memorial Scholarship in memory of Ruth Longmire and in honor of Katherine DePersio. The
scholarship is designated for an education major from Anderson County. The scholarship will be
awarded annually.

Planned Giving
LMU’s Bridge Builder’s Heritage Society recognizes those who have given through estate planning.
Planned giving may be defined as a method of supporting non-profits and charities that enables
philanthropic individuals or donors to make larger gifts than they could make from their income. While
some planned gifts provide a life-long income to the donor, others use estate and tax planning techniques
to provide for charity and other heirs in ways that maximize the gift and/or minimize its impact on the
donor's estate.Therefore, a planned gift is any major gift made in lifetime or at death as part of a donor’s
overall financial and/or estate planning.
Sam Spencer
Lakeland, Fla.
Class of 1940
CDR L. Robert Langley
Sumter, S.C.
Class of 1950
Sam Spencer, retired
produce broker, is
totally committed to
his alma mater. As
trustee emeritus, he
continues to promote
LMU’s reputation
as an institution of higher learning in order to
ensure its continued success.
The American people
are best known for their
volunteer spirit and for
aiding causes in which
they believe. As a direct
result of this volunteer
spirit, all of our lives are
improved.
One approach that he suggests alumni and
friends might consider is to purchase a life
insurance policy, pay periodic premiums and
name the University as owner and beneficiary.
Cash values, if any, belong to LMU and policy
proceeds are payable to the University upon the
purchaser’s death. Since life insurance benefits
are many times the amount of the premium paid,
the generosity is multiplied many times. And, per
the IRS, premiums are full tax-deductible in the
year paid. Life insurance may help you satisfy
your desire to help LMU without depleting your
financial resources.
The same is true when
you are choosing a charitable organization to
include in your financial planning. Making a gift
to LMU can go hand-in-hand with preserving the
economic security of this great institution.
CDR L. Robert Langley accomplished these
designations through his initial efforts and
studies at LMU, and he has personally chosen an
irrevocable trust as one vehicle for making a longrange gift to the University. His desire is to give
back a portion of what LMU gave him before and
after he came out of the U.S. Navy.
You may choose one of several ways to benefit Lincoln Memorial University. By having your attorney
revise your will or add a simple amendment, you can make a gift of a dollar amount, a specific property a
percentage of your estate or the remainder after providing for loved ones.
This information is intended to help guide you through your estate planning process. More information is
available for you and/or your advisors on request.

Building a Living
Legacy
The Bridge Builder
An old man, going a lone highway,
Came at the evening, cold and gray,
To a chasm, vast and deep and wide,
Through which was flowing a sullen tide.
The old man crossed in the twilight dim;
The sullen stream had no fears for him.
But he turned when safe on the other side,
And built a bridge to span the tide.
“Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim near,
“You are wasting strength with building here:
Your journey will end with the ending day,
You never again must pass this way.
You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide –
Why build you the bridge at the eventide?”
The builder lifted his old gray head:
“Good friend, in the path I have come,” he said,
“There followeth after me today
A youth whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm that has been naught to me
To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be.
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;
Good friend, I am building the bridge for him.”
~ by Will Allen Dromgoole, circa 1900~

Did We Miss Your Name?
If you do not find your name on a list, one of several things may have happened:
• We made a mistake. We regret that errors occur in lists such as these, and appreciate your
correcting us if this is the case.
• You didn’t make your gift during the 2010-2011 fiscal year. Our fiscal year runs from July
1-June 30. Please check your records as to the date of your gift(s).
• Are you sure you made a gift? The many appeals from organizations and institutions make
it easy to miss an opportunity. We hope that Lincoln Memorial University is among those
worthy causes at the top of your list for sharing.
If you have any questions, or would like information about becoming a giving club member and
a loyal supporter of Lincoln Memorial University, call us at 423.869.6351.
