TWU tree planting
to honor Dr. Sterling Smith
11/06/06
DENTON —
A large red oak tree will be planted on TWU’s Denton
campus in memory of biology professor Dr. Sterling Smith,
who died Aug. 19, 2006, in a mountain-climbing accident in
Colorado.
The ceremony will
take place at 12:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 10, between the Science
Building and the Margo Jones Performance Hall. The public
is invited to attend. For a map of the Denton campus, visit

Funds for the purchase
of the tree were raised by the TWU Faculty Senate, which sought
donations from current and former senators. The senators raised
more than the $200 required to purchase the tree and gave
the additional donations to the biology department’s
scholarship fund established in Dr. Smith’s name.
