ROBERT EMMETT SMITH Inspired and Inspiring Teacher In the passing of Professor Robert E. Smith this College and the State of North Dakota have lost one who has served youth. He came to this College in the fall of 1927, after a rich experience as teacher and public school superintendent, to teach the subject he loved best to teach and in the teaching of which he was an artist. His has been the life of the true teacher, marked by unfaltering and unstinted devotion to the highest ideals of character development and citizenship training. That those who knew him most intimately and those whom he taught loved him is a finer tribute than words can formulate. “The Colonel”, as he was affectionately called by his associates, quietly and peacefully slipped through the door which separated him from us on Saturday morning, February 17—“Not like the quarry slave scourged to his dungeon, but soothed and sustained . . like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams.” The State Teachers College, joined by a host of his former students, will long cherish the memory of Robert E. Smith, “The Colonel”, an in- spired teacher, a loving father, a devoted husband, a valuable citizen. CHAS. E. SCOTT, President.
