President Reynolds noted, "ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ owes a debt of gratitude to Lincoln College, who in 1901, merged with ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ as it was just establishing itself so that we could be chartered by the State of Illinois. Our two colleges were partners until the mid-1950s. We are proud to be one of a limited number of institutions asked to partner with Lincoln College to serve their students with their transfer needs today."
