Bishop Chase went to England in 1824 to solicit funds to found the theological seminary in Gambier, Ohio, subsequently called Kenyon College. In Chase's Appeal in Behalf of the Diocese of Ohio in the Western Territory of the United States (London, 1824), he presented the argument for establishing a press: "To accustom our Youth, the future servants of a beneficent Redeemer, to acts of substantial charity, and as a means of disseminating the principles of our Holy Religion ., a Printing Press and Types will be solicited; and the Young Men, or some proper proportion of them, will, at convenient hours of the day, be employed in printing Tracts and a Periodical Publication." The letter of introduction that Bishop Chase carried from Henry Clay to Lord Gambier proved effective, and the bishop was shortly meeting influential church members who aided him in the collection of $30,000 to establish the college. When Bishop Chase visited Sir Thomas and Lady Acland in Devonshire in June 1824, they readily took to the idea of a press. Chase jubilantly reported to the diocesan convention in 1826: "This complete and ample set of type, together with 100 pounds sterling, to purchase a printing press in this country, is the avails of a most munificent subscription separate from that of the fund, which subscription was originated and circulated among the ladies of the nobility of England by that most excellent person, Lady Acland, of Devonshire." In 1827, the press and college finally arrived in Gambier and a house intended for a printing establishment would soon be completed. However, it was not until September 1829 that the bishop could have the satisfaction of saying, "Our Font of Types, most munificently given through the liberal exertions of Sir Thomas and Lady Acland has been brought into use." The printing was done by George W. Myers, "a good practical printer and bookbinder," whom Bishop Chase had induced to come from Alexandria, Virginia. The printing house cost $350 according to Bishop Chase's Defense Against the Slanders of the Rev. G. M. West. By this time the Gambier press was working regularly on the weekly newspaper, the Gambier Observer, as well as the annual convention journal and the Kenyon College catalog. Philander Chase's successor, Bishop Charles P. McIlvaine, utilized the press fully in his campaign against Tractarianism. The main purpose of the Acland Press had been achieved, for the weekly newspaper, the Gambler Observer, appeared regularly from August 30, 1830 (Vol. I, No. 2). The first number was published on May 28, 1830, an eight-page paper of about fourteen by ten inches with three columns to a page. For the first few years after Bishop McIlvaine became president of Kenyon the press published an address of his yearly (1834 (this one), 1836-39) in addition to the diocesan newspaper, which naturally presented his views. The first of his addresses the Gambler press printed, A Charge to the Clergy . . . on the Preaching of Christ Crucified (22p., Gambler, 1834), was delivered before the diocesan convention in September and proved so popular that a second edition (15p., Gambler, 1834) was necessary before the turn of the year.…
