THE DRAGON, 1919 In Memoriam ILLIANI BALLARD SIVIITH was born in Augusta County, Virginia, on May 27, 1863, and died at the lXflcDonogh School, February 19, 1919. He completed his education in 1887 at the Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Va., where he won the degrees of Nlaster of Arts and Civil Engineer. Immediately upon graduating he was selected by Col. VVilliam Allan, then Principal of N1cDonogh, as a member of his staff of instructors. He was then twenty-four years of age. His classes were those in mathematics, physics, chemistry, mechanical drawing, and manual training in the wood working shops. This last subject became a passion with him, and he so inspired his workers among the boys that it was often hard to tell which was the more eager for per- fection, the instructor or the pupil.

And the home life, how beautifull Its hospitality radiated over the entire NleDonogh community and drew the teachers, boys of the school, Alumni and their friends to its flreside, where they were ever welcome. On June 23, 1391, Klr. Smith married Kliss Klary lifmmette Brooks, of Augusta County, Yirginia, and on July 8, 1891, they came to Klcllonogh. She brought with her the charm of manner and the warm hospitalityof a truedaughter of the Yalley of Virginia. For nearly twenty-Five years they lived in what was 5
