Woods Dr. Nash Prints Special Eilition of Work When the Italy-America society issued a call for a poem in honor of the 2000th birthday of Vergil, Henry Woods, S. J., emeritus pro fessor of the University of Santa Clara, responded with “Laudes Virgilinae.” The poem is written in hex ameter verse and contains about three hundred lines. It is written in the native tongue of Vergil, and the phrasing and rhythm reflect his style. Dr. John Henry Nash, world j famous printer, then printed the ! work on his private press for dis I tribution.among his friends. Dean Eric W Allen was recently pre sented with one of these copies. This piece of work is of interest because Doctor Nash is at present | visiting in the Northwest and will attend a banquet given in his honor in Portland on October 28.
