Novum Organum 1 - New Organ of the Student Body of Yale School of Art and Architecture [Nov. 14, 1968]: "Yale Has Thus Far Been Spared The Ugliness Which Elsewhere Dramatized The Issues"

N.p. [New Haven: ca 1968?]. Offset lithograph, printed in red on both sides of sheet; 88cm x 59cm (ca 34-1/2" x 23cm). Minor edgewear; tack-holes at corners; Near Fine.

First issue of this ad-hoc publishing venture, intended as "a communal reproduction service offered to students and faculty of the Art and Architecture School for expression, confrontation, and debate." Recto is a full-size poster featuring [with ironic intent] a quote from Yale President Kingman Brewster, III; verso reproduces a variety of student texts, most expressing grievances with the university administration. Masthead lists staff including Bob Coombs, Mark Ellis, Manfred Ibel, Bob Miller, Herb Short, and Stuart Wrede. In all, eight issues of "Novum Organum" were published, all in varying formats and at irregular intervals. OCLC finds four institutional holdings.
