Fifteen buildings are honored with the names of Tech men of the past • AFTER nearly 90 years of frustration, Georgia Tech is finally making the long jump across Hemphill Avenue as you can see by the map on "these pages. Several new Buildings are now nearing completion in the area that the Institute acquired through its first urban renewal program which began in 1965. They include the long-awaited Student Center (1), a new Chemistry Building (2), five new dormitories, including one for coeds, (3 through 7), and the Central Electrical Switching Station (8). Three more dormitories are scheduled for construction soon (9) and the first leg of the Tech Parkway which will seal Hemphill Avenue's doom as a major thoroughfare is also under way. ' While all of this feverish construction was going on in this and other areas of the campus, a faculty committee was meeting to honor some of the men who made outstanding contributions to Tech during their lifetimes. Appointed by Edwin D. Harrison last year, the faculty committee made its report to Acting President Vernon Crawford -during his term. Crawford immediately approved the project, forwarded it to the Board of Regents and received final approval before his term of office expired. Included in this list are the Fred W. Ajax Placement Center (10), the Gilbert Hillhouse Boggs Chemistry Building (2), the BungerHenry Building (11), the John Saylor Coon Mechanical Engineering Building (12), the Cherry L. Emerson Building (13), the Montgomery Knight Aerospace Building (14), the D. P. Savant Building (15), the D. M. Smith Building (16), the Arthur H. Armstrong Dormitory (3), the Hugh H. Caldwell Dormitory (6), the Herman K. Fulmer Dormitory (5), the Ralph A. Hefner Dormitory (4), the Edwin H. Folk Dormitory (7), and the James E. McDaniel Dormitory (17). For the reasons why these men were honored by the faculty and for a look at the buildings named for them, please turn the page. September-October 1969
