History

Smith Scholarship House was founded in 1958 by Dr. Irene Putnam in memory of her late brother, Maitland E. Smith. The house is located a mere three blocks from campus and provides affordable living for college students. Smith House is a self-sustaining, cooperative living environment. This entails each Smithie doing his part of the cooking and cleaning. Each week Smith Scholars have a set amount of responsibilities to take care of for the house, be it cooking dinner on Monday or cleaning the bathrooms another day.
