Ce ee - TRIBUTES him before he would dismiss me. It was his motto to waste neither time nor money, and never did he waste either. He was very direct and plain spoken and what he said meant something, and it made you think before you talked. I never gave Charles Pratt my opinion until I could give a reason for it, too. “A man like Charles Pratt has a great influence over a man like me. He seemed so near to me and was so human. There was some encouragement to me to try to be better for him. The ministers tell me I must look to Christ for an ideal, but somehow He has always seemed so far away, so perfect and so different from men like me, and I sometimes think that a fine man like Charles Pratt, who comes nearer to plain human experience like mine, is the real power and influence in my life.’ The late Reverend Theodore L. Cuyler, of Brooklyn, said: “It is a good thing to be famous, provided that the fame has been honestly won. It is a good thing to be rich, when the image and superscription of God is recognized on every coin. But the sweetest thing in the world is to be loved. The tears that were shed over the coffin of Charles Pratt welled up out of loving hearts. At that funeral there was no hypocrisy. I count his death to have been the sorest bereavement Brooklyn has ever suffered: for he was in his vigorous prime, with large plans and possibilities yet to be accomplished. Charles Pratt belonged to the only true nobility in America—the men who do not inherit a great name, but make one for themselves.” With few exceptions, these associates and friends of the Founder have responded one by one to the Divine summons which came to Charles Pratt in the midst of his greatest activities, and which, soon or late, is the common destiny of all. To successive generations of young men and women, Pratt Institute stands as a sacred heritage and a monument to the imperishable name of its Founder, Charles Pratt. Its administrators, instructors, students, all who serve or are the recipients of its service in whatever capacity, are in a sense dedicated through the Founder to the ideals of industry, service, and character of which his life was the embodiment.
