The American Rhodes Scholarships, a Review of the First Forty Years

P.J. Conkwright, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1946

Description

Juror Notes

The standards of workmanship and the designs generally presented to us by this University Press are very high. Here is a small book that has running page heads in correct proportion to the type page. The chapter headings are unusual and interesting. The appendices, although difficult to design, are successful. The jury liked the title page and the binding. Indeed, all of the books submitted by Princeton were well bound.
