"Smyth was among the best, if not the best, teacher of the classics that Harvard had ever seen." -- Harvard University Gazette "To Smyth, grammar was beauty, beauty - something more than grammar."

His exquisite sensitivity to the nuance of language was legendary. As a teacher he was awe-inspiring, and was, "among the best, if not the best, teacher of the classics that Harvard had ever seen."
