After immigrating with his parents to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, he began his studies at the Pontifical College Josephium in Columbus Ohio (A.B., 1928). After being ordained for the Diocese of Amarillo, Texas, and serving as its chancellor from 1935 to 1943 (during which he completed his J.C.D. at CUA in 1941), Schmidt was appointed to the School of Canon Law where he served as Research Assistant (1943-1944), Instructor (1944-1949), Assistant Professor (1949-1953), Associate Professor (1953-1964), and Ordinary Professor (1964-1974). Between 1945 and 1949 Schmidt pursued education in the Schools of Law at CUA and Georgetown, receiving an L.L.B. (which retroactively became a J.D.) in 1949. He was the editor of the Jurist from 1954 to 1958 and Director of Studies for Ecclesiastical Schools and Affiliated Seminaries from 1958 to 1969. He published reports of his research and reviews regularly in the Jurist and other professional journals.
