b'Dedication Beyond the ClassroomMany university professors publish textbooks of the subject they teach, and the students are required to have a copy in class. My father, having ex-perienced frugal times as a student himself, was acutely aware that some of his students relied on tutoring or other means to pay their tuition. Not wanting to add to their financial burden, he chose to print learning materials at his own expense, rather than requiring them to buy textbooks.Atthattime,copymachineswerenotavailable.Themostcommon method for small-volume printing involved placing wax paper on a steel plate and using an iron pen to engrave words onto the wax paper.

These engraved wax papers were then used as masters for oil printing, but this method limited the number of copies that could be made.
