Excerpt from Address on the Life and Character of William Smyth, D.D: Late Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy in Bowdoin College; Delivered Before the Alumni of the College, July 7, 1868
My Dear Sir:
Arrangements have been made with the Athenaean and Peucinian Societies to waive their usual public exercises on Tuesday afternoon of Commencement week, and I earnestly invite you in the name of the Alumni to deliver before them at that times a Discourse in commemoration of the life and character of our lamented Professor Smyth. From your long association with him and with us, we feel that this would be a peculiarly befitting and acceptable service.
In the belief that such a discourse would be beneficial to many who may not have the privilege of hearing it, and of permanent historical value, I trust you may also be able to furnish a copy for publication.
I am, my dear sir,
Your friend and servant,
J. L. Chamberlain,
President of the Association of Alumni,
Bowdoin College.
My Dear Sir;
Your note of yesterday has been received requesting me to deliver a Discourse in commemoration of the life and services of the late Prof. Smyth befor the Alumni at the next Commencement. I cannot well decline such a service in memory of the colleague of so many years and a life-long friend, and will enndeavor to meet the wishes of my brother of the Alumni as I best cam.
With sincere respect and regard,
Ever Yours
A. S. Packard.

Alpheus Spring Packard

He was the son of Alpheus Spring Packard, Sr. (1798–1884) and the brother of William Alfred Packard. He was born in Brunswick, Maine and was Professor of Zoology and Geology at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island from 1878 until his death. He was a vocal proponent of the Neo-Lamarckian theory of evolution.
His chief work was the classification and anatomy of arthropods, and contributions to economic entomology, zoogeography, and the phylogeny and metamorphoses of insects. Packard was appointed to the United States Entomological Commission in 1877 where he served with Charles Valentine Riley and Cyrus Thomas. He wrote school textbooks, such as Zoölogy for High Schools and Colleges (eleventh edition, 1904). His Monograph of the Bombycine Moths of North America was published in three parts (1895, 1905, 1915, edited by T. D. A. Cockerell).
