The Lincoln Academy of Illinois

🎖 Did you know this? Here is a little more information about The Lincoln Academy of Illinois insignia! 🎖

The insignia of the Order of Lincoln is a variant of the Maltese cross (with ten points rather than eight) — a white-enameled, red-bordered Maltese asterisk.

The obverse displays the Arms of the State of Illinois encircled by the inscription ‘Palmam Qui Meruit, Ferat’ (‘Let him who merits bear the palm’ — words from Horatio Viscount Nelson).

The center is supported by cross pieces of perforated gold, encircled by leaves of violet. The reverse central disc features the likeness of President Lincoln in gold and on a gold ground, encircled by the inscription ‘The Lincoln Academy MCMLXV’.

The cross is suspended by an oval circlet of green and gold enameled oak leaves and is suspended from a ribbon in the colors of the state’s symbols: red for the state bird, the cardinal; violet for the state flower; and green for the state tree, the oak.

The Lincoln Academy of Illinois

⭐️ FEATURED Student Laureate ⭐️ Please SHARE so we can inspire others to be Lincoln-Hearted.

We asked the Student Laureates to put into their own words the essence of how Lincoln’s Leadership Legacy will be a guide in directing a civic-minded life of service and commitment to a greater good. This is what Columbia College Chicago's Kierah King had to say:

"The essence of Lincoln’s Leadership Legacy will not only be a guide but also a reminder of why having a commitment not only to service, but to the greater good is so important and valuable in the work that I do, not only to better myself but humanity as well.

I think back to a particular quote by Lincoln where he states, “And in the end it is not the years in your life that count, it’s the life in your years.” and I am reminded of the possibilities and opportunities life has to offer when we allow ourselves to live fully.

To remember there is hope and power in the collective communities that we serve and that our diversity and differences make us unique and powerful.

I am proud and honored to be a young leader to guide the next generation on their path to success with the help of the recognition of becoming a Student Laureate." ... See MoreSee Less
