N.E. Press Director

David Home, acting director of the Harvard University Press, this month succeeds Victor Reynolds '27 as director of The University Press of New England.

The press, with offices in Hanover, is a regional publications center sponsored by Dartmouth, Brandeis University, Clark University, and the University of New Hampshire. It was founded in 1969, the first scholarly press representing a consortium of institutions to be organized on an inter-state basis.

Mr. Home, a native of Worcester, Mass., graduated from Clark, took his master's degree from the University of Missouri and his Ph.D. in English from Yale. He taught at Yale before entering the publishing field.

He joined the Yale University Press in 1955 and was their executive editor in 1966 when he went to the Harvard University Press as assistant director in charge of the editorial department. He became associate director in 1968 and has been acting director this spring.
