...first president, Jonathan Dickinson. His father, Rev. John Thomas Duffield, taught there for 56 years. His brother, Henry Green Duffield, was treasurer from 1901 to 1930. Than Ed Duffield no man appreciates more the remarkable group of trustees-including Moses Taylor Pyne, Bayard Henry, Charles Scribner, Cyrus McCormick, Melancthon W. Jacobus, Edward Sheldon, Henry B. Thompson-who built up the modern Princeton. None is more devoted than he to their belief that the genius of Princeton and its distinction lie and should remain in the undergraduate college rather than in the ramifications of a big university...
Year and a half ago in an address for the Paul Block Foundation of Journalism at Yale, Publisher McCormick pointed a finger at his audience and declared: ". . . . Your faces contain brown, yellow and pink; you wear green shirts, blue neckties . . . and yet so limited is the newspaper art that it is compelled to depict you in black and white." A moment later he added: ". . . The art of journalism is the adaptation of old methods to mass production...

He went to Publisher McCormick, an old friend. "I shall give you not only the color you spoke about but also the speed necessary to mass production," said he. Specifically he agreed to produce within 18 months for the Chicago Tribune an eight...

Competitors in the color field were in no hurry to match Mr. Wood's boast. Chief competitors were Walter...
...chief technical difficulties were: to dry four layers of ink in a fraction of a second; to find color pigments cheap enough to be practicable; to correct "register" at high speed. While Mr. Wood experimented, Col. McCormick was not idle. In an effort to make his pressmen color-conscious he had them experiment with the old fashioned makeready color processes until they could turn out fairly presentable two-and three-color advertisements. Last week's crude red frontpage cartoon was the last step in the Tribune's color education before graduating to the complicated four-color Wood presses...
