==History==
Named to honor the life and work of President Abraham Lincoln, Lincoln University was founded and chartered under the laws of California in 1926.〔(Lincoln University History: link to university website. )〕〔(Lincoln Law School of San Jose website: History, reviewed December 19, 2009. )〕〔Lincoln University's I.R.S. form 990 for the year ending July 31, 2009 reports that its "year of formation" is "1926" on Line L of the first page. This was reviewed at guidestar.org on July 23, 2010.〕 The first university officers were Benjamin Franklin Lickey, president,〔''Crocker-Langley San Francisco City Directory 1927''. San Francisco: R.L. Polk Company of California, 1927, p. 1327.〕 and Edward J. Silver, vice president and educational director.〔''Crocker-Langley San Francisco City Directory 1925''. San Francisco: R.L. Polk Company of California, 1925, p. 1150.〕 Lickey with his wife Susan had in 1919 founded a law study program in San Francisco for veterans returning after the First World War and other working adults which offered evening classes to part-time students〔(Lincoln University History: link to university website. )〕〔(Lincoln Law School of San Jose website: History, reviewed December19, 2009. )〕 while he was working as the western representative of the Law Department of the La Salle Extension University of Chicago which offered degrees through correspondence courses.〔''Crocker-Langley San Francisco City Directory 1920''. San Francisco: R.L. Polk Company of California, 1920, p. 1014.〕 The program developed into a tutorial center with a broader curriculum. One of its early slogans was "The Shortcut to Success" and it offered "reasonable terms" and a "money-back guarantee."〔''Crocker-Langley San Francisco City Directory 1925''. San Francisco: R.L. Polk Company of California, 1925, p. 196.〕
By 1927 Lincoln University was operating on the Arcade Floor of the Phelan Building on Market Street in San Francisco with Colleges of Law and Commerce and a Department of Special Courses and Coaching,〔''Crocker-Langley San Francisco City Directory 1927'', San Francisco: R.L. Polk Company of California, 1927, p. 1330.〕 offering both day and evening classes as a co-educational institution. An advertisement of that year showed Lincoln University offering college courses in law, commerce, foreign trade, and business administration and special courses and coaching in bar examination preparation, advertising, journalism, and public speaking. It also maintained a junior college and high school program which operated a preparatory school and special preparation for College Board examinations.〔''Crocker-Langley San Francisco City Directory 1927''. San Francisco: R.L. Polk Company of California, 1927, p. 2.〕 At this time Lickey served as president of Lincoln University while continuing as the agent of LaSalle Extension University.〔''Crocker-Langley San Francisco City Directory 1927''. San Francisco: R.L. Polk Company of California, 1927, p. 1327.〕
Its nonprofit status was recognized by the Internal Revenue Service in 1950 and in 1961 a second campus was opened in San Jose. By 1987 the San Jose campus had become the location of the university's law school programs. It separated in 1993 to become the independent Lincoln Law School of San Jose. The university moved from San Francisco to Oakland in December 1999.〔(Lincoln University History: link to university website. )〕〔(Lincoln Law School of San Jose website: History, reviewed December 19, 2009. )〕
