It is organized primarily to print and publish scientific and educational books, monographs, and journals, the scope of its activities being defined by a constitution adopted by the Board of Trustees. In general, the lines of its work are as follows: manufacturing and publishing books and journals; retailing textbooks and supplies; and purchasing books for the libraries and supplies for the departments of the University. The management of the Press is in the hands of a Director appointed by the Board of Trustees, while the general administration is in charge of a Board appointed by the Trustees from members of the Faculties. The manufacturing plant is equipped to do all kinds of printing and bookmaking. In the composing-room, apart from the common fonts of book and job type for hand composition, the Lanston monotype machine is employed. Assortments of accents, mathematical and astronomical signs, and fonts of Greek, Syriac, Arabic, Hebrew, and Ethiopic type are a part of the mechanical equipment. A completely equipped stereotyping foundry is also maintained. The press-rooms contain job and cylinder presses, and the bindery is equipped with the necessary machinery for the production of first-class book work. The scope of the Publication Department includes the business management of the various departmental journals, the publication of books and pamphlets, and the distribution of all official documents of the University.. A catalogue gives detailed information regarding all publications. The list of book titles now numbers about 600, and twenty-eight journals are regularly issued. The proceedings and papers of various scientific and educational societies are also published by the Press. Among such publishing relationships most recently assumed are those with the Geographic Society of Chicago and with the Chicago Historical Society.
