He built, equipped, or- ganized and operated the two million dollar Methodist Hospital-now the Harris Memorial Hospital-at Fort Worth. After becoming Presiding Elder of the Cisco District in Texas, he accepted the presidency of McMurry Col- lege in Abilene, Texas, where he was responsible for the liquidation of the college debt, the landscaping of the campus and the doubling of the enrolment. He went from McMurry College to the Vice-Presi- dency of Southern Methodist University where he led in the raising of several hundred thousand dollars, the es- tablishment of the SMLI Press and the ex-student journal. After two years at SMU, Dr. Smith became District Superintendent of Methodism in St. Louis. He accepted the presidency of Oklahoma City Uni- versity in june, 1941, and in four years, he had erased OCU's debt of S358,000.
