Mr. Greene died in 1701, and after his death no printing was donein Cambridge until 1761, when the Press was reestablished by thecollege, and was maintained by it or by private parties up to 1803, bywhich time it had gained firm foundation. The college cataloguebearing this date was undoubtedly printed at the University Press,and the catalogue of 1805 shows that William Hilliard was in chargeof the printing at that time. In 1811 an edition of Dalzels Col-lectanea Graeca Majora was printed by the Press. Its imprint showsthat Eliab W. Metcalf had become associated with Mr. Hilliard atthis time. Two years later, Charles Folsom, a graduate of the class of 1813,and Librarian of the college from 1823 to 1826, became identified with. Athenaeum Press.
