CSUF's University Press has published "
six books and earned an international
reputation in the literary world, the organ¬
ization' director said Sunday.
The Press is a publishing entity at the
university which was established by Dean
of the School of Social Sciences Joseph
Satin.
Satin told an audience at the Fresno
Metropolitan Museum ofthe triumphs
and tragedies which he has encountered in
creating the Press.
University President Harold Haak took
a risk when he appropriated funds for the
Press, Satin said.
"Harold, being a brave man, gave me
$25,000 and told me that when the money
runs out. dont come back. The bottom
line is, it's six books later and I still have
the $25,000."
The Press has gained fame by publish¬
ing the letters of Frank Lloyd Wright, a
man who has been referred to »» -the fr«-
tcst architect of our century."
Satin said that with a little luck and help
from "friends in the right places," he was
able to convince Wright's widow to allow
him to publish the letters.
Wright's architectural apprentice, Bruce
Brooks Pfeiffer, edited the letters that
have appeared in three volumes: "Letters
to Architects," "Letters to Apprentices,"
and "Letters to Clients." Satin said the
Press is preparing to release what he
expects to be the most successful book of
the Wright series, "Treasures of Talesin."

A gradual suicide, is how a former
CSUF professor described the life of
Albert Schweitzer, a German doctor and
philosopher who was dedicated to looking
for the meaning of life.
"He consecrated his life to the direct ser
ice to man," said Dr. Walter Ensslin.
Ensslin, a retired CSUF language pro¬
fessor, was introduced to Schweitzer in
1953 when Ensslin was teaching at the
Defense Language Institution in Monte-
y, Californi;
studying his philosophy and now, "the
main task for the rest of my life is to teach

adding he regretted not studying Schweitzer
at that time.
It was not until 1959 that Ensslin began
an African tribe and operated on his first

Later, two hospitals were built under his

had much compassion for the poor and
the suffering of the world. Ensslin said.
"He wrote, 'Very seldom in my life I was
happy to beaifve.'"
The first half of Schweitzer's life was
dedicated to science, music and art, and
the second hattf of his life, to the "direct
service of man." Despite the hot climate of
Africa, he lived to be 90.
He was told no one understood him
