4; O DR. ANDREW THOMAS SMITH A.M., Lafayette College; Ph.D., New York University N THE evening of February 15, 1928, after a painful illness of many weeks, Dr. Andrew Thomas Smith, principal emeritus of the West Chester State Teachers College, passed into the life everlasting. Seldom is an individual connected with an institution by so many ties as bound Dr. Smith to this College. Not only was he an alumnus of the school in the Class of 1883, but he filled for longer or shorter terms the positions of teacher, vice- principal, acting-principal, principal, and principal emeritus. Even in the years when he was principal of another State Normal School, he was, in a way, unofficially connected with this school through the Board of Normal School Principals. In all these relationships he gave the school faithful and loyal service, spending himself and being spent for her final good. But faithfully and loyally as Dr. Smith served the school, his field of usefulness was not limited to this institution. At the Mansfield State Teachers College, where he was principal for seventeen years, he is gratefully remembered as an able administrator and one who played a large part in the develop- ment of the school. The West Chester Civic Association, the Lions Club, the Chester County Historical Association, and the Westminister Presbyterian Church, of which he was a charter member, all shared a part of Dr. Smith ' s time and attention. As a valued and experienced member of the Board of Normal School and Teacher College Principals, and par- ticularly as a membe r of the State Retirement Board, he served well the cause of education in the Commonwealth. Quiet, dignified, gracious, he gave all with whom he came in contact courteous consideration. In his passing the school and the community have lost a loyal friend, a faithful servant — one who has joined the choir invisible of those immortal dead who live again in lives made better by their presence.
