This series contains nine of Smith's notebooks, correspondence, speeches, trial materials, lecture notes, and other materials maintained by Smith during his work as a professor and librarian. The first box consists of speeches delivered in the proceedings of Smith's heresy trial, while the latter three boxes contain lecture notes and course plans. While the institutional affiliation of these courses is unavailable in the materials themselves, the subject matter of these materials suggest they span Smith's entire teaching career at Amherst, Meadville, and Union Theological Seminary.
