Book excerpt: Excerpt from Development of History and Government in Smith College, 1875-1920: With a List of Publications of the Faculty and Alumnae Miss Humphrey taught by text - books. She left a warm mem ory with her students as a woman of culture and refinement and as a home-maker for the eleven, mostly little country girls, as one of them says. But in her second year of teaching the working housekeeper who aided her in the Dewey House was found to have marked the napkins Smith Colledge. After that incident Miss Humphrey thought it best that She should give up her teaching and concentrate on the social side of her work. Consequently, in 1878, Associate Professor Herbert B. Adams, of Johns Hopkins University, was called to take Charge of the history. At a commencement in Northampton President Gilman once began his address with this pleasant introduction: 1 know not what unseen ties may bind Smith College and the Johns Hopkins University together, but I do know that they both have the same teacher of history, who, in his annual migra tions from Northampton to Baltimore, brings us tidings of the beautiful, the true, and the good! The College was most fortunate to have a man who contrib uted as much to the study and teaching of history in the country at large as did Professor Adams to lay the real foundations of this particular department. He spent the Spring term of each year at Northampton, While teaching the other terms at Johns Hopkins. The enthusiasm and inspiration which he brought to his work is re ected both in his own accounts Of his experience and in the accounts of his students. His own account Of the teaching of history at Smith as given in the circular of the Bureau of Education is worth repeating.
