He has been a merchant, an educator (he taught mathematics at UMR for six years), a chemist (with the U.S. Bureau of Mines in Rolla), and an inventor and manufacturer of the patented plant food, "Tootsizer." Just 60 years ago, Schuman was elected St. Pat at the annual MSM St. Pat celebration, and has been an unofficial historian and supporter of St. Pat Board's activities through the years.

This alliance of the four alumni associations meets alternately on various campuses of the university. The group of volunteers heard fro m Univer­ si ty President James Olson on the cur­ rent status of the university. The meeting was held prior to the signing of the appropriation bills, so budget discus­ sions were all speculative. The annual legislative recognition day in Jefferson Ke City was successful and the format will '72, be similar next year. The next meeting E. will be September 29 in Columbia.
