By his many years of service as a teacher, and by his arduous labor and self- sacrifice in the interest of his profession, he had established a circle of loyal friends from the Atlantic to the Pacific. His was a busy life. Many a professional man with such an active and full practice as he attained would have been content so to live and die, but not Dr. Smith. He was so filled with robust manhood and energy, with love of nature and his fellow-man, that he overflowed the bounds of professional life, and his energies found work to do and pleasures to enjoy in many directions outside of his daily work. In this manner he developed his many talents and presented to his friends new phases of character, which, like flashes from a brilliant stone, each seemed brighter than the other. As a teacher, those of the class who have had the privilege of sitting under him, those former students who have graduated and gone forth, know the devotion and interest he took in his work. Few teachers ever got closer to their students :han Dr. Smith. He was so human, so easily approached, and withal so lovable, that the influence he exerted on the students of the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery will live forever. As a dentist, he was known as a skillful and rapid operator, quick and sure m diagnosis. Natural and sympathetic in manner, he soon gained not only the confidence of his patients, but their esteem and friendship. In his relations to his fellow-practitioner he was always generous and ethical. As a worker for the advancement of the dental profession he had no peer. Xo one ever gave more of life, no member of the profession ever made greater personal sacrifices for the uplift and betterment of dentistry, than Dr. Smith. He went into the work in his usual whole-hearted manner. Wherever there was a fight for dentistry, whether it was in a State association, a national convention, or a State Board or faculty meeting, he was always in the thick of it. That he might the better fight its battles, he accepted and filled with honor all the highest offices the profession could bestow upon him. As a writer on dental subjects Dr. Smith was equally well known. The many articles from his pen that have appeared in professional journals during the past thirty years testify to his knowledge and treatment of both dental and educational subjects. Five
