' Professor of C'lLm1zis1f1'y and llfinemlogy, Pemzfsylvcmia College HE class publishing this number of the SPECTRUM, in dedicating the volume to Provost Smith, are doing themselves honor. They show that the College follows with interest the course of its alumni who have made themselves useful and prominent in the world. The first element of success which is shown in the life of Provost Smith, is that after considering his desires and his qualihcations, he formed his plan. Preparing thoroughly for college, he graduated as Bachelor of Science in 1874, he then entered the University of Gottingen and after two years' work received his Ph.D. Other elements to success are his thoroughness, his earnestness, his strict integrity, his quiet planning and his determination in execution. The broad sympathy which Provost Smith has shown for others has born 'fruit in the very high regard in which he is held by all who know him and the popularity he has among his students. The high character of the work which has been done by Provost Smith and the personal esteem in which he is held is shown by the positions of re- sponsibility and honor in which he has been placed. The work which he has done as a Chemist is in part shown by his various publications, His contributions to various scientific journals, home and for- eign, number over one hundred and titty titles. His translations are: Richter's Inorganic Chemistry, numerous editionsg Richter's Organic Chemistry, sev- eral editionsg Clstenls Introduction to Electrochemical Analysis, and Olsten's Practical 'Work in Electrochemical Analysis. His own volumes have been: Chemical Experiments Qwith Dr. Kellerj, ISQOQ Electro Analysis, Fifth Edi- tion, 1911, also in German and Erench editions. Elements of Chemistry, Sec- ond Edition, 1911. Chemical Experiments Crevisedj, 1913. Elements of Electro-Chemistry, 1913. The Theories of Chemistry, 1913. Chemistry in America Qin pressj. The educational work of Provost Smith is far reaching in that he has pre- pared large numbers of men who are occupying prominent and useful positions Page Six
