 Dr. Pieters was horn at Alto, Wisconsin on February 5, 1869. He was named for Dr. Albertus Van Raalte, the outstanding leader of the Dutch immigrants in 18-17. When Dr. Van Raalte gave up his pulpit in Holland because of illness, the Rev. Roclof Pieters became his successor, and his young son grew up in the community of the leader whose name he carried. In 1887 he was graduated with honors from Hope College and in 1891 he was ordained to the Christian ministry and commissioned a missionary upon his graduation from Western Theological Seminary. His period of missionary service in Japan lasted until 1925. Upon his return to America, he began the teaching part of his career. After one year at Hope College in the Bible Department, Dr. Pieters was called by the General Synod of the Reformed Church to become a professor at Western Seminary. He again taught Bible at Hope College in 19-17. He is remembered by all as a great man, a fine Christian, and an excellent teacher. The Milestone of 1950 pays its tribute to Dr. Albertus Pieters. 7
