A MAN WE HONOR ROFESSOR S. P. PITTMAN, who was born in West Tennessee and reared in Florida, came to the Nashville Bible Schoo l in 1891. Since his graduation from the school, he has given his entire life as an instructor in many of its departments, except two years spent at the University of Tennessee, where 4 he received his B.A. degree, and several months as a missionary in Japan. So much for history. Professor Pittman is a man that is loved by more people of all denominations, classes,: and colors than any other man in the brotherhood. Everywhere one goes, if he has had any connection with David Lipscomb Col- lege, he will find that many people will ask him, ‘‘Well, how is Brother Pittman?’’ and then remark, “I know he’s the best man in the world.” Brother Pittman, as he is more often called by all! who know him, is a man of great ability. Many men of authority have said, ‘‘He is undoubtedly a genius.’’ He is a musician, composer, poet, preacher, teacher, and orator. Every time he stands in the pulpit we get new thoughts. ‘What a great statesman he might have been,’’ we think when he speaks on Robert E. Lee. His great admiration for modesty and love for his fellow man have caused him many times to stay in. the back- ground and allow someone else to get the honor. God give us more men of such magnanimous character! This present class had the honor of being the first to have him speak on its class program. He spoke on ‘‘The Value of Silence.’’ He said, ‘‘There is something peculiar about this meeting. It is the first time I’ve ever been asked to speak to a senior class, and you ask me to speak on Silence.’’ We dearly appreciate Brother S. P. Pittman and the life that he has lived. Page Seventeen
