His was a new approach to typography that went beyond the technical fundamentals of metal type composition to embrace modern art (especially that of Paul Klee and Piet Mondrian). Ruder promised a new functionalism derived from the Bauhaus. With a few exceptions these former students quickly and permanently fell under the sway of the charismatic and ambitious Ruder. It is clear that those lucky enough to study under Ruder found him as exciting and demanding as they had expected. Paul Shaw reviews this book and Ruder's contributions. Karl Gerstner and Kurt Hauert also contributed. The former students who participated are Harry Boller, Roy Cole, Heini Fleischhacker, Fritz Gottschalk, André Gürtler, Hans-Jürg Hunziker, Hans-Rudolf Lutz, Fridolin Müller, Marcel Nebel, Åke Nilsson, Bruno Pfäffli, Will van Sambeek, Helmut Schmid, Peter Teubner, Wolfgang Weingart, and Yves Zimmermann. The Road to Basel (Helmut Schmid) is an homage to Emil Ruder by Helmut Schmid, one of Ruders students, who headed a group of other ex-students and organized their contributions.
