On July 1, 1892, at a meeting and testimonial of the Alumni of State Normal School, a pre-amble and resolutions were una-nimously adopted. The resolu-tions read in part, ""Be it re-solved . . . That we declare our deep and poignant grief at the loss of a valuable educator, a zealous instructor, a sincere friend . . . That the memory of his many virtues, his manly life, and his intense love of nature will ever prove an inspiration to us his . . . Further, be it re-solved . . . That a portrait of Professor Smith with an engros-sed copy of these resolutions be presented by the Alumni to the State Normal School."" Professor Smith is the only former faculty member to have been honored by a portrait painting. This portrait, which now hangs in the President's Room, and the framed testimonial now in the Alumni Room, will be moved to the Science Hall.
