Death
Charles Ashford Pace died in 1940, and two years later Homer Pace, who continued to serve as the first president of Pace Institute, was fatally stricken with cerebral hemorrhage while working at his office in the Institute. He was five weeks past his 63rd birthday. During his lifetime, he always emphasized that he was, first and foremost, a teacher and an educator. That was how he chose to be remembered: on his gravestone is carved the epitaph he wrote for himself, “Homer St. Clair Pace, Teacher”.
