Century Memorial
Eugene Smith was a good lawyer, though not a court practitioner. He had been valedictorian of his class at Yale in 1859, and always retained the scholarly tastes which won him that distinction. His literary acquaintances knew him as an authority on Chatterton. Quiet and retiring in personality, he was nevertheless an active worker in the Century, on whose House Committee he had served, and outside of it with the Prison Reform Association.
