Speer's A Memorial of Horace Tracy Pitkin,* which told how the slain man had as a boy been skilled in mechanics, had treated school studies as chores essential to be done in spite of dislike, had for two years of his young manhood been undecided whether to study medicine or theology.

...Perhaps the most striking fact is the number of very youthful students who are about to complete their college careers. A full score of them have not yet reached their twentieth birthday while more than a hundred others are as yet shy of the formal attainment of manhood.
