HOWARD DWIGHT SMITH *

\ Howard Dwight Smith was a dynamic and prolific professional who, architecturally and in other ways, left his landmarks all over Ohio, but especially on tQe campus. He

\ was known best perhaps as the designer of the Ohio Stadium. But in late* years friends told him that his most lasting monument was the towering pile of the greatly enlarged

University Library, known officially as the William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library, which dominates the main University landscape.

Smith was born February 21, 1886 in Dayton. In 1907 he was graduated from Ohio·

State with the degree of civil engineer in Architecture. In his senior year he was a student assistant. He next entered Columbia University where in 1910 he was graduated with the degree of bachelor of architecture. From 1910 to 1918 he was associated with the office of the well known architect, John Russell Pope. At Columbia he received a Perkins traveling fellowship in architecture.

In February» 1918' he "came home, 11 so to speak as professor of architecture. This stay on the campus was relatively brief since in May, 1921 he became architect for the

Columbus Board of Education. Meanwhile, however, he designed and was architect for the Ohio Stadium. This giant structure was unique in that it was horseshoe-shaped with an overhanging "C" deck. It also won for Smith a gold medal from the American

Institute of Architects.

Smith was in continual demand as a consultant for various agencies or on specific projects. Among those he listed wer~ Wittenberg College, the Upper Arlington Board of

; Education, the Columbus and Springfield Y.M.C.A.'s, the Deshler Hotel (Columbus), the million-dollar First Congregational Church, Columbus, where he represented the John

Russell Pope office, the Springfield Masonic temple, the Marietta and Columbus city halls, and the city of Lancaster.

Nor were his efforts confined to large projects. A final note on a list of his undertakings reads: "Architect for approximately 50 miscellaneous residences and ':I.D.S. *

·apartments, Franklin County, Ohio." Some of these were modest homes while others were

more pretentious. \ Other honors came his way. In 1940 he won another competitive gold;medal from ! the Ohio Society of Architects· for the design of an elementary school in Upper

Arlington, the Columbus suburb where he lived. In 1945 by action of the Columbus

chapter he was named a fellow of the American Institute of Architects. In 1955 he ;£,.,,.J.., received the University's Distinguished Service~·

In September, 1929; meanwhile, he had been named'University architect and head of

the department of architecture. He continued to be University.architect until his

retirement in 1956. In the early post-war years he was responsible for the design of somE

of the major new buildings that began to dot the campus. Among these were Hughes Hall

(music), the new Physics Building - later the Alpheus W. Smith Laboratory, the

Agricultural Laborator*es, the multi-million dollar addition to the main library, the

optometry building, and especially the St. John Arena and French Field House, and the

new central service building. The task of designing and overseeing the construction of

so many new buildings in those years became such that some outside architects were

...... engaged for the purpose as, for example, with the new Ohio Union, the Mershon Auditorium, -{N.u.. and most of pl•• ofle:r ene"\ in the new Medical Center complex. In all, it was said that he

planned thirty campus build~ngs.

In 1956-57 ·Smith was on a Fulfuright grant which took him to the University of

Alexandria, Egypt. This was a strange experience in that the Egyptian authorities

approved the grant and welcomed Smith and his wife and then, in effect, hampered his

best efforts to carry out his teaching assignment as he understood it. His official

task, under the grant, was "to lecture on architectural design and philosophy." He

came home at the end of the year feeling frustrated.

In 1955 Smith suffered a stroke and in April, 1958 another. He died April 27, H.D.S. *

1958 full of years and honors and, by an odd coincidence, only six days before his I old friend and associate, Carl E. Steeb, (q.v.), longtime business manager and I . i secretary of the Board of Trustees. I Some who knew him thought Smith was too rigid in some matters. But he was a man I who knew his mind and, once made up, he was slow to change it although he was amen:l'able to suggestion. In respect to the St. John Arena, for example, at least five sets of plans. were developed before agreement was reached on the final one. Smith was well ' aware of human limitations and used to say that he had learned long since not to try to chan~e nature's laws. ( Ohio State University
