AN APPRECIATION ANNIE MEPNEI2 PFEIFFEI2 'I 860-1946 I-IENRY PFEIFFEI2 'I 857-1939 No truer friends of Christian I-ligher Educa- tion have arisen in the history of American philanthropy than l'lenry Pfeiffer and his recently deceased vvidovv, Annie lvlerner Pfeiffer. Both were the products of humble Evangelical homes, both lived lives of personal purity and integrity, and both were simple and unpre- tentious in their ways of life. They were blessed vvith an unusual measure of this vvorld's goods, yet they remained unspoiled, unassuming, and Without vvorldly pride. Mr. and IVIrs. Pfeiffer vvere most generous in their benefac- tions, but their gifts were as vvise and discerning as they vvere generous, they gave to character- forming, religious and educational institutions. Their gifts stimulated giving by others, but were never made for public praise or personal pride. The objects of their beneficence included more than a score of Christian colleges, because they believed in them and in the moral and spiritual as well as intellectual training which such institutions offer.
