Wilfred Cantwell Smith (July 21, 1916 – February 7, 2000) was a Canadian professor of comparative religion who from 1964-1973 was director of Harvard's Center for the Study of World Religions. The Harvard Gazette characterized him as one of the field's most influential figures of the past century. In his 1962 work The Meaning and End of Religion he notably and controversially questioned the validity of the concept of religion.Smith was born in Toronto the son of Victor Arnold Smith and Sarah Cory Cantwell. He was the younger brother of Arnold Smith.He received a B.A. with honours in oriental languages in 1938 from the University of Toronto. After his thesis was rejected by Cambridge University, supposedly for its marxist critique of the British Raj, he and his wife Muriel Mackenzie Struthers spent seven years in India (1940-1946), during which he taught Indian and Islamic history at Forman Christian College in Lahore.
