The man might have as many enemies as a Medici, but he understands renaissance. When Biondi first said he wanted SLU to be the finest Catholic university in the country, people chortled. But in his quarter century as president, he’s transformed not only the campus, but also the surrounding blocks; improved academic stats and student life; and doubled the real estate. Both research revenue and the university endowment are more than eight times what they were when he arrived, although growth has now slowed, and he needs to woo back his faculty’s trust.
Fox also thrived in the classroom, where he found himself intellectually stimulated far beyond anything he had experienced previously. In 1951 he graduated with honors from Washington University, earning a degree in business administration. Rather than taking an offered position with A. G. Edwards, a St. Louis brokerage house, Fox decided to work for his brother Irwin across the Mississippi River in Madison, Illinois, where he had established Fox Industries, a manufacturer of powdered iron for the chemical industry. The Fox brothers later developed a 50-acre industrial park as well as a warehousing business. Irwin Fox was well-versed in all aspects of manufacturing and he served as a mentor for his brother, who soon shared the older brother's enthusiasm for manufacturing and eventually served as the company's president.

Also in 1985 Harbour bought Prosser Industries, Inc., a manufacturer of submersible pumps and rotary spray cleaners. This purchase laid the foundation for the process equipment group. In seven years six more companies were brought into the fold, including manufacturers of centrifugal pumps and turbine pumps. In 1986 Harbour established one new group and became involved in two other industries. The cutting tools group was launched with the acquisition of Green-field Industries, Inc. (maker of such high speed steel products as taps, dies, drills, end mills and dieheads) and Rogers Tool Works, Inc. (which made similar products from tungsten carbide). Seven more acquisitions were completed in the 1980s, and a dozen more filled out the cutting tools group by 1996. This group eventually became the second largest rotary tool manufacturing company in the world. more
