WORK OF GUTENBURG, AIDINE,
CAXTON,PRESSES IN EXHIBIT
Illustrations of the work of famous
printing presses from the time of their
invention until the present day have
been placed on exhibition in the lower
corridor of the Univerity Library.
The exhibition, which consists of more
than 100 books, will remain in the
cases until about the middle of May.
In Cironological Order
The arrangement of the exhibition is
chronological, beginning with the case
to the left of the main entrance, which
contains 'books printed in the "cradle"
stage of printing, before 1500. John
Gutenberg, generally conceded to be
the inventor of printing from movable
type, is represented by a facsimile
page from the famous Mazarine Bible,
printed at Mainz in 1456. There is
also a genuine leaf printed by the first
En'glish printer, William Caxton, as
well as other examples, genuine and
in facsimile, of the work of early
printers after whose type the finest
9th and 20th century craftsmen mod-
eled their own.
Another case contains books from a'
trio of noted 16th century Italian
presses, including the world-famed
Aldine press. Wo'ks of the conti-
nental houses of Estienne, Plantin and
Elzevir fill another case. These es-
tablishments show in an interesting
way the use of the printer's mark, or
device peculiar to each ,firm.
Kelmscott Press Represented
Of the English presses represented
the most famous is doubtless the
Kelmscott press;founded in 1891 by
William Mlorris, who drew his inspira-
tion very largely from the 15th cen-
tury masters of printing. He laid
great emphasis on the need of propor-
tion in the printed page between the
text, margin and decpration. The Dove
press, conducted until recently by
Cobden-Pandeson, has been a worthy
inheritor of the principles of Morris.
As far the American presses, it
would be hard to find better specimens
of typography anywhere than those
produced by the Riverside and the
Merrymount presses of Boston, accord-
ing to those who sponsor the exhibi-
tion. Private presses are well repre-
seated by two examples from the
Cranbrook press of Detroit.
EWIS SAYS NEWSPAPER
~WOR BADFOR AUTHORS
J0URNALISTIC APPRENTICESHIP
THOUGHT BENEFIIAL,
UNNECESSARY
"Among the erroe is beliefs ..of
those who contemplate becomingĀ°g pro-
fessional writers is the .myth that a
long apprenticeship in journalism is-
an essential grounding," said Sinclair
Lewis,;the author of "Main Street," in
a recent address at Princeton univer-
sity. "A newspaper training," con-
tinued Mr. Lewis, "is injurious t
those intending to write serious fiction
for'itwo ieasons. The first is that the
repoi"r:"a;sees merely the surface aspect
of life, and does not have time toin-
vestigate the details of what he sees.
We can write oly about a compara-
tively fe* subjects ,of \which' we must
have a thorough knowledge. The news-
paper man does not, hae" to gain s
thor ngh knowledge of any one .thing.
"The ther reason," SaciMr ewl
rllrr evil a~ newspaper trining for
the witer lies in the fact that etremes'

haste is required 1 journalism. This
results in the use of stereotyped
phrases, which is most detrimental to
the production of serious fiction. lie
sketchy view of llfe an, lhasty prep-
aration of copy is by no means a good
training for the novelist.'

T HROWN in with everybody's clothes, your
garments at the cleaners pick up whatever
germs of sickness and disease there may be. And
cleaning alone does NOT remove these germs.
Only sterilizing will do it.
As a measure of health safety make sure that
your garments are thoroughly sterilized before
and after they are cleaned. It's the only way
that's free from danger.
