Professor Hartgen Named John Hudild ston Professor of Art Professor Vincent A. Hartgen, a faculty member at the University for the past 16 years, has been named the John Homer Huddilston Professor of Art at the University. An anonymous gift of $30,000 has been accepted by the Board of Trustees to establish the Chair. It was the third special professorship to be created at the University. Named for Dr. John H. Huddilston, a member of the University faculty from 1899 to 1942, the new chair is the first to be established in the College of Arts and Sciences. During his 43 years of service to the University, Dr. Huddilston became one of the most popular and best-loved faculty members. Known widely among stu­ dents, faculty and alumni as “Paddy,” he was the author of a number of books, a member of the State of Maine Art Commission, and the one who laid the foundations for the University’s large collection of reproductions and slides of famous art works. He died in 1956. Professor Hartgen who succeeded Dr. Huddilston, is a native of Reading, Pa., and did his undergraduate and graduate work at the University of Pennsylvania. University President Lloyd H. Elliott said it is “most fitting” that Professor Hartgen should be the first to hold this named professorship since “his contribution to educational life at the University has been so outstanding. “Furthermore, the establishment of the John Homer Huddilston Professorship of Art points unmistakably to the increasing importance of the creative arts in the curriculum of the State University.” General Alumni THE Maine ALUMNUS Association i Officers President Volume 44 Number 1 Alvin S.

Abstract Ismar David initiated the design of his comprehensive Hebrew typeface family in Jerusalem, in the 1930s. It is considered to be the first Hebrew multi-style family and consists of nine variations that show many innovative features that were never seen in earlier designs. Starting with a historical overview of the typographic environment in the state of Israel around the time it is was declared in 1948, this dissertation looks into the means of design and production of printed matter needed for the construction of a new nation.

  • Sa Chronology Of
    s A Chronology of Typographical Pantographs Dr. David M. MacMillan Abstract The history of the development and use of pantographic techniques in the making of metal printing type has never been recounted either com- prehensively or accurately. This is a first step, necessary but necessarily incomplete: a raw chronology of events, together with references to the sources of our knowledge. 1 ◆ Introduction While it is beyond question that the mechanization of the making of punches, patrices, and matrices for metal letterpress printing types in the late 19th century was one of the most important events in the history of type, most accounts of this are inadequate. They tend to oversimplify both history and technology and to reduce a complex technological transition to a myth of a lone genius. Moreover, most narratives today are seriously in- accurate in their details and their understanding of the technologies. They conflate different methods of type-making and often leave out important methods entirely. As a result, this is perhaps the least well understood of all of the technological transformations that have shaped our world. This chronology is not a complete analysis of this history; it’s justa first step. It lays out all of the presently known events in this history in order to provide a better, and better documented, context. It also identifies events which are still recounted as a part of this history but which never really happened. This Chronology also includes non-typographical pantographs, partic- ularly in its early sections. The purpose of this is to counter the tendency in typographical history to see the adaptation of pantographic technology to metal type-making as something that happened in isolation.
