Smith, head of the Uni versity art department since its or ganization in 1936, yesterday an nounced his resignation to become head of the art school of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. As yet no suc cessor has been appointed. Since 1936 Smith has been asso ciated with the University, organiz ing and becoming head of the art de partment. He was elected a director of the North Carolina State Art so ciety, and .was acting director of a statewide WPA archaelogical project. He was also acting director of the Laboratory of Anthropolgy and Ar chaeology of the University during the past year. Harvard Grad Born in Concord, Mass., in ,1905, Smith went to Phillips Andover acad emy and then graduated from Har vard in 1927, where he was circula tion manager and assistant business manager of the "Harvard Crimson." He received a degree from the Har vard Architectural school in 1930. Smith was awarded the Robinson travelling fellowship for study in Eu rope in 1931. From 1933 to 1935 he made retsoration drawings of Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza, Mexico, under the auspices of the Carnegie Institu tion of Washington, D. C. Smith has had his water colors widely exhibited in one-man show and group exhibits throughout the East. In 1939 his work took prizes at the North Carolina Woman's club ex hibit, and at Fitzwilliam, N. H. Glenn Miller Sets New Record In Record Sales More coin machine operators, more record distributors and more record playing stations invited America's dancing public to listen to Glenn Miller's music during the past year than any other orchestra in the nation. Dance followers of the Miller band will be entertained by his music at the German club Finals dances June 7 for a tea dance and evening dance. Statistics recently released by the RCA-Victor company and America's top music publishers disclose that Miller recordings of "Sunrise Sere nade," "Stairway to the Stars," "Three Little Fishes," "Wham," "In the Mood," "To You," "Blue Orchids," "When You Wish Upon a Star," "Little Brown Jug," "Over the Rain bow," "Moon Love," have sold over 3,500,000 copies in the 12-month pe riod since Glenn's band made its debut on Bluebird recordings. No other orchestra in the country has piled up such an impressive record sale. Tunes like "Moonlight Sere nade," "Wham," "In the Mood" and "Little Brown Jug" were introduced by Miller on discs and attracted na tionwide popularity through his arrangements. Because of the tremendous popular ity shown by dancers and platter fans in Miller's music, he has the distinc tion of being the only band to release two new record sides every week in the year. Coin machine operators re ported an income of $25,000 weekly in the half million "piccolos" featuring three to four of his recordings. The sales on "Tuxedo Junction," backed by "Danny Boy," are expected to exceed even those of "In the Mood," which was the largest selling record of the past year.
