The Hertzog Lectures, inaugurated on February 5, 1989, is presented bienially to honor the memory and life work of the "Printer at the Pass," J. Carl Hertzog (1902-1984).
A premier typographer and book designer long before his association with the University of Texas at El Paso, Mr. Hertzog brought his international renown to the then-Texas Western College in 1948. He launched Texas Western Press in 1952, serving as its director until his retirement in 1972.
Books bearing the distinctive Carl Hertzog colophon reached a standard of excellence that is unexcelled to this day.The University Library's Special Collections Department is the repository of the extensive collection of Carl Hertzog books and papers.
The Carl Hertzog Lectures and the biennial Carl Hertzog Award for Excellence in Book Design are sponsored by the Friends of the University Library at the University of Texas at El Paso. Copies of the Hertzog Lectures may be purchased. Friends of the Library receive the current printed lecture with their membership.
