ERIC NEWMAN HONORED BY UNIVERSITY

  Washington University in St. Louis recently honored
  numismatic scholar Eric P. Newman and his wife
  Evelyn:

  Eric Pfeiffer Newman

  Eric Newman was born in St. Louis in 1911. He earned a
  bachelor's degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology
  in 1932 and a juris doctoris from WUSTL in 1935.

  After practicing law for 52 years, he retired from Edison
  Brothers Stores in 1987 and now serves as president of the
  Harry Edison Foundation.

  As one of America's foremost numismatists, Newman is
  renowned for his scholarly contributions to the subject and for
  his exceptional private collection of U.S. and Colonial American
  coins and paper money. The avocation began more than eight
  decades ago, when his grandfather gave him an 1859 U.S.
  copper-nickel cent.

  Selections from his collection will soon be displayed in the
  University's Newman Money Museum, which will occupy 3,000
  square feet in the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum at the
  Sam Fox Arts Center."
