  • The Newberry Annual Report 2019–20
    The Newberry A nnua l Repor t 2019–20 30 Fall/Winter 2020 Letter from the Chair and the President Dear Friends and Supporters of the Newberry, The Newberry’s 133rd year began with sweeping changes in library leadership when Daniel Greene was appointed President and Librarian in August 2019. The year concluded in the midst of a global pandemic which mandated the closure of our building. As the Newberry staff adjusted to the abrupt change of working from home in mid-March, we quickly found innovative ways to continue engaging with our many audiences while making Chair of the Board of Trustees President and Librarian plans to safely reopen the building. The Newberry David C. Hilliard Daniel Greene responded both to the pandemic and to the civil unrest in Chicago and nationwide with creativity, energy, and dedication to advancing the library’s mission in a changed world. Our work at the Newberry relies on gathering people together to think deeply about the humanities. Our community—including readers, scholars, students, exhibition visitors, program attendees, volunteers, and donors—brings the library’s collection to life through research and collaboration. After in-person gatherings became impossible, we joined together in new ways, connecting with our community online. Our popular Adult Education Seminars, for example, offered a full array of classes over Zoom this summer, and our public programs also went online. In both cases, attendance skyrocketed, and we were able to significantly expand our geographic reach. With the Reading Rooms closed, library staff responded to more than 450 research questions over email while working from home.

  • Appendix As Too Inclusive
    Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Appendix I A Chronological List of Cases Involving the Landing of United States Forces to Protect the Lives and Property of Nationals Abroad Prior to World War II* This Appendix contains a chronological list of pre-World War II cases in which the United States landed troops in foreign countries to pro- tect the lives and property of its nationals.1 Inclusion of a case does not nec- essarily imply that the exercise of forcible self-help was motivated solely, or even primarily, out of concern for US nationals.2 In many instances there is room for disagreement as to what motive predominated, but in all cases in- cluded herein the US forces involved afforded some measure of protection to US nationals or their property. The cases are listed according to the date of the first use of US forces. A case is included only where there was an actual physical landing to protect nationals who were the subject of, or were threatened by, immediate or po- tential danger. Thus, for example, cases involving the landing of troops to punish past transgressions, or for the ostensible purpose of protecting na- tionals at some remote time in the future, have been omitted. While an ef- fort to isolate individual fact situations has been made, there are a good number of situations involving multiple landings closely related in time or context which, for the sake of convenience, have been treated herein as sin- gle episodes. The list of cases is based primarily upon the sources cited following this paragraph.

  • An Exhibition of American Printers' and Special Presses Devices
    An Exhibition of American Printers’ and Special Presses Devices by Bronwyn Hannon, Hofstra University Axinn Library Special Collections The printers’ and special presses devices in this exhibition reflect certain times in the history of printing when concern for the integrity of book arts in the machine age is most acute. These presses devices can be seen as graphic stamps or markers indicating to the reader of a book that its types, layout, papers, illustrations and bindings have aspired to a higher level of excellence. The printers’ and presses devices featured here are among others in the collections held in Hofstra University Library Special Collections. Printers’ and Presses Devices ‐ A Definition Printers’ and special presses devices are small graphic logos, which operate in the same way as hallmarks in silver production, or china marks in porcelain production, or the signature marks of painters on their canvasses. Devices are usually found in the “colophon” at the end of printed books before 1500, and thereafter more frequently on the title‐page, which displayed other bibliographic details originally placed in the colophon. Colophons (from the Greek kolophon meaning “summit”) are essentially notes at the end of the book, often embellished with a printer’s device, and variously detailing title, author, printer, place of printing, date, edition and materials used. The words “device” and “mark” are used synonymously. American Printers’ and Presses Devices The prolific revival of the special presses movement in America followed closely from exemplar presses in Nineteenth and early Twentieth Century England. Often the design of printers’ and presses devices recalled eminent printers of the past.

    Young men have always wanted to rush into print A note on Denis Glover’s writings on typography Lindsay Rollo A miniature press intelligently employed in youthful hands has quite often led to the establishment of a printing office of exceptional quality John Ryder1 Anyone is likely to be surprised to find an enterprise engaged upon light-heartedly when young had now become the object of earnest academic enquiry Robert Harling2 INITIATION In 1926 two high school boys (both born in 1912) became enthused about typography. By 1938 they had each become influential in the movement in New Zealand for a ‗new typography‘. Denis (D J M) Glover and Bob (R W) Lowry met in 1926 in the fourth form at Auckland Grammar School and they were classmates in the succeeding year. Glover acknowledged Lowry as his mentor in typography, but the apparent influence of G T (Gerry) Lee has been understated. Glover records that at Grammar School Lowry discovered a master, Gerry Lee, with a handpress and a collection of old type faces. Fired with enthusiasm and possessed of an instinctive flair for bold and masterly use of type…3 Lowry wrote in 1928 to Glover (then at Christ‘s College in Christchurch):4 My remarkable activity has lead me to the founding of a Grammar School Printing Club: workshop;- small room containing one bottled snake above library: sole prospects so far are a faint hope of cadging Denis Glover on Typography Lindsay Rollo a grant from the Board of Govs. and the certainty of having G T Lee to assume command… This reference to Lee suggests that the master was well aware of Lowry‘s interest and activities and implies he took responsibility for supervision and/or guidance of any printing club activities.
