He was 88.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Dr. Smith joined the psychology faculty in 1963, retiring from teaching 32 years later in 1995 yet he did not stop his academic research. He held the title of Courtesy Professor at the University of Florida and was a fellow in the American Psychological Association.</p><p class="MsoNormal">He also held offices in the American Association of University Professors where he was active in advocating for academic freedom. He authored multiple books including "Current Systems in Psychology: Theory, Research, and Applications" (with an edition in Russian) and "An Analysis of Ice Age Art: Its Psychology and Belief System;" he co-authored with J.R. Kantor "The Science of Psychology: An Interbehavioral Survey" (with an edition in Spanish); and he published numerous journal articles on prehistorical, historical, and interbehavioral psychology.
