PRINTING-PRESS PRO: John Fleming *63, professor emeritus of English and comparative literature, has run a small printing press out of his home since the ’70s. Pictured behind him is a cabinet holding approximately 40 type cases, each with its own font. To the right is a World War I-era Chandler and Price clamshell press, which he uses to create books, Christmas cards, and letterhead. Fleming acknowledges that it is “rather unusual” to have several tons of printing equipment in a study, but says he loves the “intimate connection with the physical implements of printing.”
