Knighted In The Building He Controls: Sir Cecil H. Smith, Director of the Victoria and Albert Museum, 1909. 'After the opening ceremony, performed by the King, at the new Victoria and Albert Museum last Saturday, the Director, Mr. Cecil H. Smith, was summoned by the Lord Chamberlain to come forward and receive the honour of knighthood. He knelt before his Majesty, who touched him on each shoulder with a sword, and on his rising both the King and Queen shook hands with him and offered their congratulations. Sir Cecil Smith was formerly at the British Museum, as Keeper of Greek and Roman Antiquities, and was appointed Director of the Victoria and Albert Museum a few months ago'. From "Illustrated London News", 1909.
