Beloved teacher, friend and mentor Jerry Smith, professor of religious studies, will deliver his last lecture as the semester ends at the University of the South. The campus community is welcome to attend the lecture at 10 a.m., Wednesday, April 27, on the Elliott Terrace of McGriff Alumni House. (Rain location is Convocation Hall.) Barton Davies, C’16, of Boy Named Banjo, will play and sing two of Smith’s favorite songs to begin and end the lecture. A reception will follow Smith’s talk.
Smith retires this year after teaching at the University for 47 years. He has served as marshal of the university faculties, Robert M. Ayres Jr. Distinguished University Chair, associate University historiographer and co-editor of the Sewanee History Project.
