His 12 year Presidency was marked by the name change from the Georgia School of Technology to the Georgia Institute of Technology\nin 1948, the completion of several buildings still on campus today: Price Gilbert Memorial Library (pictured), East Architecture and the West Stands of Bobby Dodd Stadium.

Students were upset with the publication because they believed it had a political agenda, something deemed inappropriate for a student yearbook.  Alumnus Robert Stephens (M.S. IM \u002774) attended the rally, where many students \u0022tore all the pages out, burned the\nannuals, hung an effigy of the Editor-in-Chief, and tried to throw the business manager into the pyre.\u0022  The discontent over the yearbook\u0027s focus on the surrounding community rather than Georgia Tech lasted from the initial distribution in mid-May of 1969 to the end of the quarter.  The 1970 staff took the rally to heart and hung the charred remains of a book on the office wall under a sign reading \u0022Lest We Not Forget.\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003ELower right: 1977 (\u003Cem\u003EBlueprint\u003C\/em\u003E, volume 70)\u003Cbr \/\u003EYearbooks strive to accurately reflect the year they record.
