13 The University Press at the Uni
versity of Oregon, already nationally
famous for the high artistic quality
of its fine books, today welcomed to
its staff Dr.' John Henry Nash, noted
printer of San Francisco.
Dr. Nash, regarded by many book
lovers as the leading printer of the
United States and one of the most
noted craftsmen in the world, will
henceforth produce all of his work
here. His equipment has arrived
'from his San Francisco shop and has
been installed in McClure Hall, in
quarters formerly occupied by the
university press.
Dr. Nash, whose commissions have
included two volumes for the Lim
ited Editions club and for others who
have placed quality and artistry

American Boy
Magazine Companion
To Thousands
Teachers, librarians, parents, lead
ers of boys' clubs and hundreds of
thousands of boys, themselves, en
thusiastically recommend THE
AMERICAN BOY Magazine for all
boys over twelve.
"It's more like a companion than
a magazine," remarked one high
school student. "It gives advice and
entertainment on every subject hi
which a young fellow is interested. I
made our school basketball team
solely because of playing tips I read
in THE AMERICAN BOY.
Trained writers and artists, famous
coaches and athletes, explorers, sci
entists, and men successful in busi
ness and industry join with an ex
perienced staff to produce, in THE
AMERICAN BOY, just the sort of
stories and articles boys like best.
THE AMERICAN BOY sells on all
newsstands at 15c a copy. Subscrip
tion prices are $1.50 for one year or
$3.00 for three years. To subscribe,
simply send your name, address and
remittance direct to THE AMERI

nalism. He will devote part of his
time to teaching fine printing to a
select number of students who show
special interest and aptitude in this
field.
Several weeks ago Dr. Nash sent
to the university library as a loan
his entire collection of rare books,
many of them priceless and very old
examples of the world's finest print
ing. The noted printer plans to spend
the rest of his life here. A great
lover of the outdoors and an ardent
angler, he freely admits a consider
able part of his time will be devoted
to the McKenzie river and other
noted 'fishing streams nearby.
