Typographer

Alvin Eisenman '43, formerly manager of the design department of McGraw-Hill Book Company, has been appointed typographer of the Yale University Press. He will also serve as consultant to the Yale Printing Office and as lecturer on graphic arts in the recently created Department of Design in the Yale School of Fine Arts.

Eisenman entered book publishing in 1943 as assistant production manager of the Tri-Arts Press. He is a member of the American Institute of Graphic Arts and was chairman of the Institute's Textbook Clinic Committee. In 1947 a volume of his design won a place among the Fifty Books of the Year competition, and seven others which he designed have received recognition in the Institute's annual Textbook Exhibition. His most recent assignment for McGraw-Hill was to design Boswell's London Journal, the first volume in the Yale Editions of the private papers of James Boswell.

At Dartmouth Eisenman majored in art, and in his senior year was editorin-chief of Jack-o-Lantern. He was active in the graphic arts workshop directed at Dartmouth by Prof. Ray Nash and there increased his skill and enthusiasm in the field in which he is now prominent.

Succeeding Alvin Eisenman as mana ger of the design department of McGraw-Hill is another Dartmouth man Stanley R. Rice '45.
