Three addresses delivered October 26, 1955 at a gathering in the memory of Deutsch, recently deceased former Vice President and Provost of the University of California (Berkeley.) The classics professor is lauded for his moral clarity and deft defense of the university community through ordeals such as the communist witch-hunt. The Grabhorn Press was one of the most important letterpress printers in the Bay Area and this volume displays the good taste and skills for which it was famous. Section headings and colophon printed in black and gray. Dust jacket now preserved in a clear, removable archival sleeve.
