Professor John Bernhardt Smith, Sc.D. 
(Portrait, Plate XI) 
Professor John Bernhardt Smith, one of the best known en- 
tomologists in this country, and widely known in foreign lands 
also, died at his home at New Brunswick, New Jersey, on 
Tuesday morning, March 12th, after an illness of seven 
months. For some years Professor Smith had been ailing, and 
in 1906, partly under the advice of his physician, he spent sev- 
eral months in Europe in the hope of regaining his health. He 
returned a much better man physically; but he was never 
again his old self, and he frequently alluded in a jocular man- 
ner to the fast approaching end to his earthly career. His in- 
domitable energy, however, kept him from becoming a chronic 
invalid, and even during the last months of his life when he 
was largely confined to his bed he regularly attended to his 
correspondence and directed the work under his charge at the 
New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station. Bright’s disease, 
with its manifold complications, finally claimed him, and he 
rapidly sank under its dreaded influence. 
Professor Smith was born in New York City on November 
21, 1858. He was educated in the Public schools, studied law
