WORK OF UNIVERSITY PRESS IS SUMMARIZED

From the beginning of the academic year through the first semester the University Press has published in addition to the official University publications, 18 books. The record of output this year has not been broken as the Press published the same number of books during 1921-22. An unusual thing has happened this year in that five of the books printed since September 1, 1922 have either already been reprinted or will be before the middle of April. The usual length of time for University Press publications to run into second editions has been two years. The reason offered by the Press for this year's unprecedented occurence is the more general appeal of the reading matter to the public and the greater attractiveness in the binding.

Books Which Have Appealed

Three of the books that have been especially popular with the public are "Public Opinion in War and Peace" by President Lowell, which is an analysis of modern society; "Memoirs of the Harvard Dead in the War Against Germany" by Mark Antony DeW. Howe '87, which contains the biographies of Harvard men who fell in the Great War from April 7 to August 4, 1918; "Argonauts of '49" by Octavious Thorndike Howe '73, which tells of the thrilling experience of a company of Massachusetts gold-seekers who went around the Horn 75 years ago.
