Gold Medal Winner

Prof. Ray Nash, Lecturer in Art and Printing Adviser to the College, was awarded the Institute Medal by the American Institute of Graphic Arts for outstanding achievement in the field of graphic arts. Presented last June at the Hotel Pierre, New York City, the medal, which was designed by the American sculptor, James Earle Fraser, bears the inscription: "To Ray Nash, Historian of the Graphic Arts, Printer, Teacher and Calligrapher." An exhibit of Professor Nash's work was on display for the Institute's annual meeting, attended by well-known scholars and artists from all parts of-the country.

A member of the Dartmouth teaching staff for almost twenty years, Professor Nash has had among his students many who have themselves become eminent in the graphic arts. Alvin Eisenman '43, a former pupil and now typographer of Yale University, presented the Institute award. This was the first time, in the forty years' history of the American Institute of Graphic Arts, that the medal has gone to a teacher in a liberal arts college.
