The number of the University Graduate and post-Graduate under my guidance is counted over 100. They are playing an important role as active workers such as elementary school teacher, junior high school teacher, high school teacher, university professor, curator, geoconsulting company, prefectural government officer and enterpriser. My science motivation is mentioned as "study nature, but not teacher", and "Science is romantic motives" after my lecture on Geosciences. I have researched both local Geology of the Saitama Prefecture in addition to several areas of Japanese Islands, and Micropaleontology, especially on larger benthic Foraminifera. I have researched Geosciences in the Department of Geology, Faculty of Education, Saitama University. Because Saitama University was reformed into 5 Faculties, and Department of Geology, Faculty of Science was re-organized to belong to Faculty of Education. This reform since 1969 did considerable damage to the research of Geosciences, because of great loss of the fundamental support of finance, fellowship and equipment. I would, however, continue to work after retirement to contribute in the field of Geosciences with the great endeavor, just like as Prof. Jan B. Lamarck. because I am the last micropaleontologist in the Saitama University. I could publish many science papers, and when I count only one contribution, the "Tertiary larger Foraminifera (Foraminiferida) from the Ogasawara Islands, Japan", Palaeontological Society of Japan, Special Papers 26: 239 p., 1996, ISSN 0549-3927 will be recognized as a valuable book for larger Foraminifera study. At last I would like to express gratitude for fellows and officers of the Saitama University, and for Graduates and post-Graduates of my class for 37 years., text, application/pdf}, pages = {353--356}, title = {大学生活を振り返って(回想録)(松丸国照教授退職記念特集)<数学・自然科学>}, volume = {56}, year = {2007}, yomi = {マツマル, クニテル} }
