After twenty years of instructing at Columbia Univer- sity and at the Art Students League and other art schools in his native New York, he spent three years as a Senior Ful- bright Fellow and Visiting Lecturer at the Royal College of Art in London, and is now Associate Professor of Graphic Arts at Carnegie Institute of Technology. He transmits his enthusiasm for the alphabet to his students, and fascinates them, while talking about the letters and their history, by writing--rapidly and competently--any one of a score of an- cient scripts on enormous sheets of paper.His work in lettering and design has been shown in five one-man shows, as well as many group exhibitions. In the last three years he has designed architectural inscriptions for the new Institute of Fine Arts at New York University, the en- trance to the Public Library of Dayton, Ohio, and the "Credo" monument in Rockefeller Center, New York. | | BIEMILLER, REYNARD.
