Excerpt from A Memorial of Horace Tracy Pitkin Horace tracy pitkin was one of the increasing number of young university men who have fol lowed Christ with their whole hearts, and have set His service above all else, even life. At Exe ter, at Yale, and in Union Seminary, in the work of the Student Volunteer Movement, in the life of a missionary, and in the death of a martyr in China, he strove wholly to follow the Saviour. This memorial seeks to preserve the influence of one who, loving the truth and scorning unreality, made it his meat and drink to do the will of God. Almost all of the material for this memorial was gathered by the Rev. 0. H. Bronson, who was a classmate of Pitkin's at Yale, and who was with him in Union Seminary. Both he and Mrs. Pitkin have read the manuscript and made sug gestions which I have, of course, followed. For any errors of statement or judgment, however, I am responsible.
