In 1960, The School of Printing prevailed upon Mrs. Howard Coggeshall of Utica, New York to donate her late husband's collection of memorabilia relating to the American type designer, Frederic W. Goudy. Mr. Coggeshall, a noted American printer, had for many years served as printer for each new type which came from the designer's workshop in Marlboro, New York during Goudy's most prolific period. From the late 1920s to his own death in 1948, Mr. Coggeshall acquired the largest collection in existence of Goudy types. They became invaluable after the Goudy workshop was destroyed by fire in 1939, resulting in the loss of many of the drawings and matrices; several fonts were the only surviving examples of particular faces. When these rare types became the property of the School of Printing, members of Gamma Epsilon Tau journeyed to Utica to transfer them from the Coggeshall cases to those of the school. A room was set aside to house the collection. Named the Frederic W. Goudy, Howard W. Coggeshall Memorial Workshop, it was dedicated in January 1960, during the celebration of National Printing Week.
