During Reed College's Centennial Reunions 2011, Robert Palladino lectured on and demonstrated the art of calligraphy.

One of the highlights of Reed's 2003 reunion was a special reunion that celebrated Reed's calligraphy tradition. Interested Reed alumni and friends were asked to write a short testimonial about how their personal or professional lives had been influenced by Reynolds's and Palladino's teaching. Graphic designer Georgianna Greenwood '60 led the effort and curated the remarkable show that was the result of the endeavor.

Classes in calligraphy and paleography at Reed College were led by Robert J. Palladino at Reed College for 15 years.

In 1966, Lloyd Reynolds was presented with a Festschrift, gathering 60 offerings from his friends, and spearheaded by Philip Whalen. The collection included poetry from Gary Snyder, James Dickey, William Dickey, Carolyn Kizer, William Stafford, Dell Hymes, Mary Barnard, Vern Rutsala, and Phil Whalen, music from Jacob Avshalomov and Mark DeVoto, writings from Alfred Fairbank, Ray DaBoll, Byron MacDonald, John Cage, James Hayes, Clyde Van Cleve, and Edward Catich, and art from Cindy Parker and Manuel Izquierdo.

For more than four decades, calligraphy was a defining feature of campus life at Reed College. Fueled by the energy and artistry of faculty member Lloyd J. Reynolds, the italic hand flowered and spread throughout the Pacific Northwest.
