Ralph Eliott Smith HAS born in Boston, Massachusetts, January g, 1874. His fam- ily soon after moved to Newton, Massachusetts, where he re- ceived his early education. He was graduated from the Newton High School with the class of 1890. Mr. Smith entered the Massachusetts Agricultural Col- lege in the fall of 1890 and graduated in 1894. I-fe was class president for one year and played on his class football team for two years. He belongs to the . 2. K. fraternity. Soon after graduating Mr. Smith was appointed Instructor of Botany and German at the Massachusetts Agricultural College which position he held un- til June, 1895, when he was made Assistant Professor of Botany and German. The year 1898 Mr. Smith spent in the University of Munich, Germany, mak- ing a specialty of Vegetable Pathology, and during the summers of 1899 and 1900 he pursued the same studies in the Summer Schools of Harvard College. Prof. Smith has for years been interested in the subject of Vegetable Patholo- gy and has been doing a great deal of work along that line in connection with the Department of Vegetable Pathology at the Hatch Experiment Station. He has published a book on Botrytis and Sclerotuna. Prof. Smith is a champion of all athletics and has applied himself to the difficult task of placing the athletics at Massachusetts Agricultural College on a firm basis. In doing this he has overcome many difficulties and is almost daily overcoming more. He has made the Alumni realize that in graduating they have not done their whole duty but that each and every alumnus is under an obligation to help his Alma Mater in every way he can, and that the best way an Alumnus can help Massachusetts is by helping to support the Ath- letic Association. Mr. Smith is secretary and treasurer of the Athletic Asso- ciation. Few members of the Faculty are as popular as Professor Smith. Having been a student at the college under circumstances almost identical with those of many of the present students he appreciates the position of the students better than any other member of the Faculty and he is always willing to lend a helping hand to any one in need. His interest in athletics brings him into close relationship with the fellows, and any one knowing the man can- not help admiring him. It is because of his gentlemanly manner, his desire to be of service to the students, and as a slight tribute in appreciation of the great work which he js doing for the Athletic Association, that the class of 1903 dedicates this volume of The Index to Ralph Eliott Smith.
