The University Press, which was formally established on January 13 of last year, has recently issued its first catalogue. The Press does not try to compete with the commercial publisher, since its chief function is the issuing of books that would not be commercially profitable. So far 118 books have been published, seven are now in press, and forty more in preparation. No book can be accepted for publication which does not receive the endorsement of the Syndics of the Press. Besides the above books, which are written by members of the Faculty, or by professors in other colleges for certain series such as the Harvard Historical Series, the press publishes six periodicals, and the Official Register of Harvard University. The press is most useful in enabling professors and other members of the University to have their works printed near at hand.
