CONSTANCE SMITH NO BETTER comment can be made upon the place Constance Smith made for herself at Barnard than the comment of the night watchman of Milbank Hall who said to me Monday night during a rehearsal of the Wigs and Cues play, You won ' t have no more fun in these plays now Miss Smith ain ' t here. I am going to miss her something awful, running up and down the steps doing some- thing for somebody. That was Constance Smith as we knew her, — gay, indomitable, untiring and amazingly able in the work she chose as her profession. From the time she appeared at Wigs and Cues door, an unknown transfer from Swarthmore, and asked to be allowed to help in putting on The Castle Spectre and ended in designing, painting, and making the entire elaborate sets and curtains which made that production an outstanding achievement, to last year, when she designed and made thirty-six Elizabethan costumes for The Knight of the Burning Pestle — in addition to improvising a balcony for Brinckerhoff stage and work- ing out a new system of lighting — she was the greatest single factor in the success of any accomplishment by Wigs and Cues. The faculty will remember her as she made them up for the Faculty Follies of 1937; the playwriting classes, as she helped turn their scripts into plays; and Wigs and Cues as the unselfish and gay figure in paint-stained overalls who could not take a curtain call because she was always dressed for a part behind the scenes. For the Barnard who knew Constance Smith in her private and college life, I think I am warranted in saying, in the words of the epitaph on the memorial cairn erected to Captain Oates, Hereabouts died a very gallant person.
