Publisher retires
from A&M press
m
Campus
Activities
Frank VVardlaw, who began two
of the Southwest’s leading scholarly
presses, is retiring after more than
25 years in publishing.
In the process of overseeing pub
lication of nearly 800 books,
VVardlaw worked with Texas writers
J. Frank Dobie, Roy Bedichek and
Walter Prescott Webb, among
others.
For the past four years, Wardlaw
has served as director of the Texas
A&M University Press, which he
founded.
He became the first director of
the University of Texas Press in
1950, five years after he launched
his publishing career by starting the
University of South Carolina Press.
Wardlaw is moving back to his na
tive South Carolina, where he and
his wife have a retirement home.
While stepping down as head of
the Texas A&M Press Sept. 1, he
will continue to serve as a consulting
editor and be available for special
assignments and programs.
To say that Frank Wardlaw was
the right man for us is to grossly un
derstate the case,” said Texas A&M
Chancellor Jack K. Williams. “He
was the only person who could do
the job — certainly on the quantity-
quality scale that has been done in
such a short time. He is the best in
the business and we are proud to
have had him at A&M.
“We are counting on him to con
tinue to make available to us his
wealth of knowledge about the pub
lishing business and we know he
will continue to use his considerable
influence in attracting top authors to
our press. ”
Wardlaw said the Texas A&M
Press is off to a good start and has a
bright future.
The future of the press is
bright,” he said. “We have a highly
competent and dedicated staff and
have built a small but solid backlist
and that’s terribly important.”
That backlist includes as many as
