Master Printer Nash To Receive Tributes At Opening Today By ELIZABETH JONES Tribute to a master printer of the western world will be offered John Henry Nash by the University of Oregon today when, preceding the opening of his library of fine printing in the new University library he will be the guest of honor at a luncheon at the Osburn hotel at which Donald M. Erb will preside. Nash, since 1925 when he was given the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters at the University of Oregon, has been a sponsor of the Fine Arts Press on the campus, helping students to put out one fine book each year. Other institutions of higher learning have recognized in Nash one of the outstanding typogra phers of modern times. In 1931 he was given the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws at the University of San Francisco, and in 1932, when Mills college gave Nash honorary recognition, Dr. Qurelia Henry Reinhardt, president, said of him: “John Henry Nash. Printer and book maker. Collector of rare volumes. Founder of a press in San Francisco as famous in London as are thepresses of Morris and Cob den-Sanderson in our western land. Establisher upon the Pacific coast of that art without which educa tion in a democracy would be im possible, and which preserves the best of human thought in forms of imperishable beauty.” The printer, who has been char acterized as the “Aldus of San Francisco,” is an ardent sports fan, having once been a champion bi cycle racer, and particularly enjoys football. With George Godfrey of the University news bureau, Nasi made a fishing trip to the Mc Kenzie last Sunday . . . and caught twelve trout. M. H. Douglass, University li brarian, said yesterday of the group of books, brochures and broadsides: “It is a rare good for tune that brings the collection tc the University of Oregon. It is a very outstanding collection oi books on printing. It represents many years of careful collecting and a generous expenditure of money. The group will be much enjoyed by all those who love beautiful books, and will be espe cially enjoyed by those who know something of the history of print ing.” Requests to fill engagements at high school commencement exer cises are coming into the speech division. Addresses have been ar ranged for Professor W. A. Dahl berg at Yoncalla and Hillsboro. Professor Casteel is to speak at Central Point, Ashland, Myrtle Creek, Elmira, Eugene high, and Phoenix, Oregon.

Outdoor Men Advised To Observe Poison Oak If you don’t know what poison oak looks like, come ever to the infirmary and see our plant, is the invitation of Dr. Fred Miller, director. The infirmary has a poison oak plant growing under glass to “educate” students coming from places where the plant doesn’t grow. The plan, according to a state health department bulletin, grows in vines, or shrubs about three feet high. The leaves are usually in clusters of three, changing in color from a dark red in spring to a dark green in late summer. The plant usually1 sprouts greenish-white berries in late summer. It is not necessary to touch the plant to get the rash, the bulletin stressed, but it may be got from clothing or from smoke from a fire in which the shrub is being burned. In the matter of prevention for the rash, washing the hands or other parts of the boys exposed, thoroughly with soap and water after possible contact, is recommended, followed by a rinse in alco hol to remove the poison, which is a powdery rosin. Onthank Advises Seniors Who Want lobs to Register Seniors who want to get jobs upon graduation, but who have neglected to register with the em ployment office, should do so at once, Karl W.
