X X % x+ OJC MR. F. U. SMITH In the resignation of Mr. Frederick Urling Smith as Comptroller of the Armour Institute of Technology, there comes to mind many evidences of the growth and development of our city, especially in educational lines within the last thirty years. Mr. Smith was at the right hand of Mr. Philip D. Armour when he was devising means and ways for helping the youth of the middle west by creating the Armour Institute. Mr. Smith met Mr. George V. Childs who had in- fluenced Mr. Drexel of Philadelphia. Mr. Smith’s former home, to establish an institution like the Pratt Institute of Brooklyn and the Cooper Institute of New York City. He heard these men discuss the matter of education with Mr. Armour, and he became closely allied with the new institution. For twenty-five years Mr. Smith has appeared upon the platform at Commencement time with his annual report as Comptroller. He has been a model of courtesy, gentility, wisdom and loyalty in the presence of thousands of students. The Institute itself would feel bereaved if it were not for the fact that he goes to his rest or pleasure as he will, at the close of the current year, and he goes in perfect health of body and mind to enjoy with his good wife many recollections of his labors on the Executive Council of the Institute, and especially the influence he has had and the participation which has been his in the new plans for the Armour Institute of Technology, when its walls shall echo with the tread of the thousands of students and teachers who shall throng its new and larger home at Windsor Park. Dr. F. W. Gunsaulus. Sixteen x
