Excerpt from Letters From India It does not often fall to the lot of a teacher to preface a volume written in memory of a pupil. Many days and nights have gone since Dr. Stratton's untimely death. In the language of the little Brahmana legend about Yami, the Hindu Eve, who will not forget her dead Adam, Yama, until the gods create night to alternate with day: ''Tis days and nights that cause men to forget sorrows.' The regret is now softened for all of Dr. Stratton's friends by the wise provision of Nature. What he left behind is good every way: the printed and written record of his scholar's work, excellent in accomplishment and full of promise for the future, the uplifting and inspiring influence he exercised upon his devoted pupils, the memory of his own disciplehood, which always helped the teacher as much as it benefited himself. Most of all, the memory of a life which was eager to perform high tasks, yet altogether ungrasping, full of the doubt and self-criticism that go with high ideals, but not at all restless or distracted.
