Papers, 1898-1959.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/16835766

The bulk of the papers covers Smith's years at college, medical school, and his years working for the Board of Foreign Missions (PCUSA), both abroad and during his U.S. lecture tour. Letters written during his college years and in Puerto Rico are largely written to Beulah Lipps, and are descriptive and introspective accounts of his activites and work in school, at the Seaman's Mission in Baltimore, with the Baltimore Christian Endeavor Society, and of his sumers (1912-1916) as camp doctor at Y.M.C.A. Camp Becket, in Springfield, Mass. The Africa correspondence is both personal and official. In-coming and out-going letters give graphic depictions of his work and experiences. Material before and after these periods is scanty. The photos also strongly emphasize Smith's work in Africa, and include vivid records of mission life and medical problems he experienced. They also reflect his interest in zoology and paleontology. The time he time he spent at Camp Becket and his work with the Christian Endeavor Society are also represented.
