But Major General William Kuthven Smith, superintendent of the Military Academy at West Point is stocky, active. A cadet from 1888 to 1892, he was for eleven years an instructor in mathematics, philosophy, ordnance &; gunnery. Truly he might have said looking about for something to do after he retires from the active list and the superintendency this week: "I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical; I understand equations, both...

Lecturer on political science, regent of the University of California, member of the National Crime Commission, Institute of Pacific Relations and many another body, he is still regarded by oldsters as the sage of the Pacific Coast. Long active in politics, he was most conspicuous as chairman of the Republican State Central Committee in the Hughes campaign for President.
