"Professor J. R. Lambirth who began work at the Institute in September 1884, having reached the age of eighty-four years, and Professor Robert H. Smith who started work at the Institute in February 1885, and has reached the age of seventy years, have been retired, each with the title of Professor Emeritus. In their long years of service these men have endeared themselves not only to their associates, but also to those students who were fortunate enough to work under their direction." -- ibid, p. 94
