The University of Illinois Press was organized in 1918 to have charge of the work of editing, printing, and distributing the publications of the University.¹ The Press is a general university division whose chief administrative officer is the Director of the University Press.² The Director is appointed annually by the Board of Trustees,³ and is responsible to the University President through the office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs.⁴ The operations and policies of the Press are maintained under advisement of a University Press Board composed of the Director, the Deans of the Graduate Colleges or their representatives, and six appointed faculty members.⁵. The Press published works of interest primarily to the scholarly reader, although works intended for the more general reader are also published.⁶ Priority is given to local manuscripts, but works produced at other institutions without presses are not excluded from consideration.⁷ Although the Press attempts to show a modest profit, it is not primarily a profit-making institution and receives subsidies from the Graduate College as well as from some foundations.⁸ The University of Illinois Press has sales representatives in Canada, the British Isles and Continental Europe, Latin America, and Japan.⁹
