File contains photographs of Dr. Henry Hicks, president of Dalhousie University, and unidentified people at the inauguration of the replica printing press on April 14, 1978. The replica of a 17th century wooden hand press was housed in the Dawson Room of the Killam Memorial Library at Dalhousie University. The replica press was built by two professors: R. MacGregor Dawson of the Department of English and Fred J. Matthews of the Library School, with the help of many individuals in the university community. It is based on blueprints of a press, dating from around 1625, in the celebrated Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp. As far as possible the ancient traditions have been followed: the frame is entirely of oak and maple, the joints are all mortised and tenoned and held together with glue and pegs. Screws have been kept to a minimum. Old leather-covered balls are used for spreading ink. The 18 by 25-inch bed of the press is a slab of marble.
