Professor Ray Nash, Dartmouth College

Ray Nash was an extraordinary teacher and mentor to many Dartmouth students for more than 30 years. A collection of his students' remembrances and art with some of Ray's writings were collected in a volume published by The Friends of the Dartmouth Library, 1987, and available on-line in several formats.

Ray Nash and the Graphic Arts Workshop at Dartmouth College

edited by Edward Connery Lathem

My remembrance (written thirty years ago) as found on Page 56 of the volume.

"... I was a geology major at Dartmouth, but took several art classes, including Ray's. Probably as a result, I have continued an active involvement in art, particularly in printmaking. (A few months ago I even had an etching accepted in a juried exhibition in the Washington, D.C., area.) Certainly, over the years the influence of his teaching has probably been one of the major dividends of my Dartmouth education. Although my career has a very different direction, my interest in printing and the graphic arts gives my life an additional dimension which I have found very important. As I look back to my years at Dartmouth, Ray Nash was one of two or three professors whose influence on me remains as a distinctive and positive part of my experience. . . . " JOHN C. STORMER JR.
