Book Description

Excerpt from The Pine Burr, Vol. 22 Like Paul, whose life and works represent part of his subject-matter, this man whom we honor has been able to wrest victory from defeat, triumph from tragedy, and strength from pain. A bursting shell on Africa's sands maimed his body but did not warp his spirit nor quench his curiosity. He radiates good cheer, enthusiasm and friendliness. He asks no quarter and represents a constant challenge to all able-bodied men and women. An indefatigable worker, he imparts to his students glimpses of his personal struggle to reach the stars through difficulties.
