Trueman Martin Jr. ’52

Ted died June 26, 2016. He came to Princeton from El Dorado High School in El Dorado, Ark. He studied basic engineering and joined Cloister. His strong faith was expressed in his affiliation with Princeton Evangelical Fellowship and Baptist Students of Princeton. Paul Pressler and Willem van der Hoeven were his roommates.

Ted went on to earn master of divinity and doctor of theology degrees from Dallas Theological Seminary. His work with the Campus Crusade for Christ lasted for more than 56 years in a number of responsible roles, culminating in an appointment as professor of theology of the International School of Theology.

His remarks in The Book of Our History conclude with this: “During the past 50 years of material and scientific progress in our country, we have seen mostly moral and spiritual regress. My prayer is that in the near future our nation will experience a great spiritual awakening once again that will positively impact our nation and our world.”

Ted is survived by his wife, Gwen, and children Karin, Trueman III, Jonathan, Philip, and Amy. We offer our sympathies and appreciation of Ted’s good work to them.
