This fascinating book pays tribute to the life and work of Brunswick's esteemed Professor Smyth, an outstanding scholar and educator whose fingerprints were on nearly every element of the college's experience during his 45-year tenure. The author chronicles Smyth's rise from humble origins to become a revered leader in mathematics, physics, and public affairs. Beyond the classroom, the revered Professor Smyth was a tireless advocate for temperance, anti-slavery, and the improvement of public schools. He played a pivotal role in the establishment of graded school systems, serving on the Board of Agents for 17 years, and even designed the plans for Brunswick's large brick schoolhouse. Smyth's devotion to his students and community was unmatched, and his contributions to mathematics education earned him national recognition. Through personal correspondence, public lectures, and relentless advocacy, he also spearheaded the effort to build a Memorial Hall, which stands as a testament to his tireless efforts to enhance the legacy of his beloved college.
