Funding For The Future With Bernard “Bernie” Behrends
By Kathleen H. Wheeler
Omni Communications Group
Lincoln College philanthropist
Bernard “Bernie” Behrends
shares a passion for education
espoused by the prominent
gentleman for whom his
hometown was named. In his
first political announcement
in 1832, Abraham Lincoln
wisely noted “Upon the subject
of education, not presuming
Anna K. ’36 & Bernard E. ’48 Behrends to dictate any plan or system
respecting it, I can only say that I view it as the most important subject
which we as a people can be engaged in.” In keeping with Lincoln’s sentiment,
Bernie Behrends has devoted his personal time and financial resources to provide
higher educational opportunities for those less fortunate in the community.
The Behrends philosophy of charity was instilled early in childhood
through the teachings of the Lutheran Church. Bernie and his older sister
Anna were raised by their widowed mother and grandfather to help others
when possible through service to their church and the public. They were
taught to view their contributions as a privilege that would ultimately
strengthen society as a whole. Blessed by success and prosperity as adults,
Bernie and Anna have sustained these fundamental Christian principles
through consistent and generous donations to their alma mater, Lincoln
College, hoping the recipients of their charity will someday “pay it back”
by helping others as well.
Bernie was born in Lincoln, Illinois on July 27, 1921 and received his
primary and secondary education through the Lincoln public school
system. After being honorably discharged from the United States Navy
in 1946 following three years of active duty during World War II, he was
allowed to pursue his post-secondary education through financial assistance
provided by the GI Bill of Rights. Bernie attended Lincoln College from
1946 through 1948 and upon graduation continued his studies at Bradley
University in Peoria from 1948 to 1950. He graduated from Bradley
University with a bachelor of science in general engineering and worked
the next thirty-two years as a civil engineer with the Illinois Department
of Transportation until his retirement in 1982.
While successfully advancing in his profession, Bernie put into practice the
charitable lessons of his youth and began helping others by volunteering
his time and talents in numerous capacities. First he served for six years
as vice president of Immanuel Lutheran Church and treasurer of their
building committee until 1963. During the Vietnam War, Bernie worked
as a member of the Logan County Selective Service Board. He then was
assigned to the board of trustees at Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital
from 1967 to 1973, followed by an eight year stint as a member of the
Logan County Election Board. Finally in 1992, Bernie was elected to
the board of trustees at Lincoln College, an educational appointment that
he holds in high regard to this day. As if this impressive record of service
isn’t enough, Bernie is also a lifetime member of a long list of admirable
organizations, including The American Legion, Forty and Eight, Veterans
of Foreign Wars, American Veterans, Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks #914, Lincoln Masonic Lodge, Springfield Consistory, Ansar Shrine,
Logan County Shrine and the Legion of Honor.
From his position on the board of trustees at Lincoln College, Bernie
Behrends has worked to provide financial assistance for needy, worthy
and qualified high school graduates from Logan County who wish to
better themselves through a quality education at Lincoln College. In
1998 with the support of his sister Anna, Bernie established the Anna
and Bernard Behrends Endowed Scholarship Fund, allowing more than
forty students to attend college since its inception. In 2002 Bernie was
instrumental in founding the Nurses in Training, Logan County Voiture
985 of the Forty and Eight Scholarship. To date this program has helped
over 150 students pursue an education in the field of nursing. So great
are Bernie and Anna’s contributions that the new admissions building on
the Lincoln College campus was dedicated in their honor in 2002 and is
now known as the Anna K. and Bernard E. Behrends Admissions Building
at Lincoln College.
Bernard “Bernie” Behrends continues his legacy of educational service
to Lincoln and the surrounding community with no apparent signs
of slowing. When pressed to explain why he and his sister Anna have
dedicated their lives and resources to the educational pursuits of the
underprivileged, he responds simply with conviction, “Education is what’s
important! We knew we could do more to help others, the whole point in
life is to help people.” Honest Abe would undoubtedly agree.

A Message From the President
A
s many of you have heard, I have submitted my resignation as
President of Lincoln College and so this will be my last letter to all of
you. The decision to step down as President was not an easy one for my
wife, Jean Ann, and me. We have been honored to serve in the leadership
role here, believe deeply in the mission of the College, and have had the
opportunity to work with many wonderful faculty, staff, and students.
For most of the past 28 years I have been involved in high-level college
administrative work. I have served as a president for three institutions
of higher learning and as a state higher education executive officer. This
year seemed like a good year to “hang up the cleats.”
It is gratifying to leave at a time when the College is in good health. A
number of important things have been accomplished in the last several years which give me great confidence in the
future of the institution. These accomplishments include:
1. Development of a balanced budget and the retirement of significant debt.
2. Completion of the Lincoln Center, which will aid enormously in recruiting and retaining students.
3. A necessary re-engineering of the mission of Lincoln College – Normal resulting in six new bachelor’s
degrees in the past five years and the establishment of the Center for Adult Learning with an enrollment
approaching 250 students.
4. Research to determine the critical predictors of college success and the establishment of admission
requirements that reflect this research.
5. Initiation of a very popular massage therapy program at Midwest College of Cosmetology.
6. Creation of the ACCESS program for students with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
7. Revitalization of the Office of Institutional Advancement and the initiation of the College’s first comprehensive
campaign.
It is important to note that I cannot claim most of the credit for these accomplishments. I have simply followed former
G. E. executive Jack Welch’s motto in his book Straight from the Gut: hire the right people and get out of their way.
Therefore whatever accomplishments can be touted during my tenure are most certainly the product of hard work by
many people besides myself.
As I noted earlier, I consider the future of Lincoln College to be very bright. This is a very unique college in the
landscape of American higher education. There is definitely a place for an institution in the Midwest that focuses on
transforming students’ lives, whether they be traditional college-age students at Lincoln or adult learners at Normal.
I am very proud to have been given the opportunity to serve as President and will continue to watch the progress of
Lincoln College with great fondness. Thank you for your continued support of this fine institution.

The
Lincoln Log
2008-2009
Honor Roll
I have made it a priority to give to Lincoln College on an
annual basis. Small, private schools like Lincoln College
need unrestricted funds to help meet each year’s budget.
Giving each year helps the College with its most urgent
needs and really does make a difference.

In Memoriam
Donald Lee Hilscher
Alumnus (class of 1958) and former Lincoln College Professor Don Hilscher passed away January 19,
2010. With his death the Lincoln College family lost a great and compassionate teacher and friend.
Over his 48-year career at LC, Mr. Hilscher taught a large portion of the natural science curriculum,
including Biology, Botany, Zoology, Medical Terminology, and Anatomy and Physiology, to over
1,000 students. He instilled an awe of nature in his students, whose lives he touched and in whom
he inspired a lifetime love of learning. Many of his students so embraced his love of science that they
pursued careers in the field, and are now veterinarians, dentists, research chemists, marine biologists,
and nurse anesthetists.
For many students, Mr. Hilscher was more than a professor; he often became their friend, staying in
touch and encouraging them in their educational, professional and personal pursuits. Just months before
his death, he inquired about a student with whom he’d lost touch. His students were in his thoughts
and remained an important part of his life even after he retired.
After his death, several former students shared memories and testimonies. Former student Amy Tebrugge Owings (class of 1972) had
this to say about her former professor:
I believe I am speaking for my brother, my college roommate, as well as many others who regarded Hilscher as one of the
best—if not the best—teachers we ever had. Not only could “the Chief ” bring science to life, he inspired you. He held us
accountable. He asked the hard questions. Hilscher made you think. He would tell us, “Always look under the rock,” referring
to the things that might not be immediately visible. His enthusiasm for discovery was contagious. Very few instructors made
the impression on me that he did. I owe so much to him for not giving me the answers but making me discover them myself.
I will miss him.
Another former student, Adrienne Harmon (class of 2001), sent this reflection:
His excitement was evident in each lecture where sometimes he would jump on top of tables to demonstrate! He instilled
a passion in each and every student as we began our journey down the road of medicine. Upon graduation from Lincoln
College, he kept close tabs on me throughout my many years in college. A simple smiley face in the return address section of
the envelope was all Mr. H would put, and I would instantly know it was a letter from him in the mail. A note came without
fail during boards, during clinical, during licensure…
When I became a dentist in 2008, he was the first person to send a note of congratulations addressed to “Dr. Adrienne
Harmon.” He was a colossal reason I was able to earn my doctorate and pursue my passion for medicine. I give thanks to
Mr. H for his teaching, motivation, and many “smiles” he sent along my journey.
Mr. Hilscher is survived by his wife, Mary Hilscher of Lincoln, Ill.; four sons, Jerry (and Wanda) Hilscher, Donnie Hilscher, Danny (and
