description This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 1st edition, 1981, depicting the history of the city and the university. From page 166: Marine General H. M. "Howling Mad" Smith, a 1901 Auburn graduate, reviewed API's Navy ROTC unit in 1945. Known as "the father of modern amphibious warfare," he helped plan and personally directed Marine campaigns from Tarawa through Iwo Jima during World War II. He attributed his nickname to a mispronunciation of his first name, Holland, but others suspected it came from his impatience with inefficiency that might cost lives.
