James George Smith (1819-1849) was one of eight founders of Beta Theta Pi, a prominent college fraternity founded at Miami University in 1839. He was never in good health and after graduating from Miami University in 1840, he became a farmer in Powhatan County, Virginia and died on September 16, 1849 from what might have been smallpox. He is the only founder of Beta Theta Pi for which a photo does not exist (or yet to be found). Beta Theta Pi founder Samuel Taylor Marshall described Smith as a "...pale, studious, quiet fellow in delicate health."
Other founders of Beta Theta Pi:
- John Reily Knox 1839
- Samuel Taylor Marshall 1840
- David Linton 1839
- Charles Henry Hardin 1841
- John Holt Duncan 1840
