According to John Pyper, a non-resident tutor in Adams House who oversees the print shop, the press was founded in the 1950s to publish left-wing propaganda. After a brief lapse into inactivity, the press gained a reputation in the 1980s as a nationally-known private workshop, producing commercial prints under the direction of Gino Lee ’86. “The press was there to get out ideas that were personal—whether that...
