Progressing steadily from its early days when one student was employed under the direction of Prof. Ward Edwards, the Press under the management of George C. Beamer now employs twenty students who earn part of their college expenses in typesetting, composing, and running the presses. The Press prints all college publications -the Slzzdeat, the Taller, the College Catalog, and all official college bulletins-as well as engaging in extensive commercial printing. Facilities for photoengraving and photography have recently proved an invaluable addition to the equipment of the Press. Manager George Beamer has served as such since 1936, having been assistant manager for six years after his graduation from Jewell. Mr. Beamer's eighteen years of experience as a printer as well as his ad- vanced stutly of abnormal psychology combine well to equip him for his post as manager. George C.
