Blake R. Van Leer's Georgia Tech A SPECIAL ISSUE

GENERAL

Georgia it was more than that; it was the typification of all Mondays. The sky was colored a dingy grey, and the scud clouds moved constantly over the city, stopping only long enough to unload a cold, miserable rain upon the city. Even though you knew that the area needed the rain very badly, you found yourself wishing that it could have come on any day but Monday.

Our working day was nearing an end, and we were looking forward to an evening with the family to lift our sagging spirits when the office phone rang. It was Tech's Public Relations Director, Leslie Zsuffa. We shall never forget his words, "I need some help, President Van Leer is dead." And what to that moment had only been another blue Monday suddenly darkened into one of the blackest in Tech's 68-year history. * * *

Under the Tech Statutes, Dr. Weber as Dean of Faculties, headed the institution from President Van Leer's death until the day the Regents appointed an Acting President. Dr. Weber now succeeds himself and will delegate to the other Tech deans his Dean of Faculties' duties until a new president is named. * * *

like Colonel Blake R. Van Leer will be felt on the Tech campus for a long time to come in many ways. And one of these ways, which is seldom mentioned, is the leadership he brought to our alumni affairs program.

Georgia Tech had no real alumni activity, as we know it, until his arrival on the Tech campus. And, 1 am particularly happy that he lived to see the alumni groups undertake the Development Program this year, especially in the light of its splendid success in bringing our school renewed interest and increased contributions from her alumni.

From Colonel Van Leer's first day as President, he appreciated and valued the alumni. And, to my knowledge he never failed to consult and work with them for a better Georgia Tech. His efforts and activity on behalf of the Development Program during recent months were untiring and, in the light of his physical condition, could have been undertaken only with great courage and devotion to the institution. A lesser man would have been unwilling to pay the physical expense.

A Georgia newspaper, the Gainesville Daily Times, hit the nail on the head in its editorial on President Van Leer in their issue of January 31, 1956. This is what they had to say in part: "Dr. Blake R. Van Leer died on the verge of what may well have been his most lasting achievement, the unification of Georgia Tech alumni into a permanent and continuous body of financial and moral support for the engineering institution he made one of the greatest in the nation.

"For one of Tech's greatest unrealized assets is the support and interest of alumni who just now are beginning a program that will make their weight felt toward an even better school. Now death has given them an additional inspiration. One of Dr. Van Leer's most meaningful memorials will be in their contributions to the school he moulded."

In recognition of the late President's contributions to Georgia Tech, your trustees at their meeting of January 30, by resolution, requested the faculty to petition the Board of Regents to name in his honor, the next new building erected on the campus. At the same meeting, appropriate resolutions honoring Colonel Van Leer were adopted, and a contribution was sent to the Student Activities Fund in lieu of flowers as requested by his family.

R. VAN LEER was, in the strongest sense of the word, an engineer. For he lived to build. Stretching from North Ave. to Tenth Street and from Williams Street to Hemphill, is the greatest building task of his life. And in the pages that follow this one, we have tried—in a small measure—to recreate part of this program.

1944. For that would be impossible within our space limitations. Nor have we shown you, except by indication and word pictures, what Blake R. Van Leer did for Tech in the way of building a faculty and a student body.

What we have done is simply to give you a small sample of Blake R. Van Leer's Georgia Tech. For, as one compatriot has said, "no need to build a memorial for the Colonel, there's already one—the School itself."

Academic Buildings |N THESE TWO PAGES are the three major academic buildings erected on the Georgia Tech campus during Blake R. Van Leer's tenure as president. They represent a total investment of almost 4!4 million dollars by the State Building Authority in a period of just five years.

Completed in 1953, the Price Gilbert Library, right, is rapidly becoming the top showpiece of the Tech campus. It houses an excellent technical library, the most complete patent library south of Washington, D. C , and is one of the four depositories for the Atomic Energy Commission in the United States.

The Architecture Building, lower left, is said to be the largest building in the world devoted exclusively to the teaching of architecture. It is also a showplace of Tech and each year features a number of outstanding architecture, art and photographic exhibits. It was completed in 1952.

The finest building in the world devoted to textile education is also on the Tech campus. It is the Harrison Hightower Textile Building, completed in 1948. Its labs are industrial models.

Housiti! facing Blake R. Van Leer when he arrived on the Tech campus was finding a place to house the horde of GI students which surely would descend on Tech when World War II had run its course. He went to work on it.

By early 1947, three new residence halls like Smith Dormitory, above right, total value — $1,600,000; Burge Apartment House, lower right, value •— $685,000 and Callaway Apartments, above, value — $1,330,,000 were completed.

Fraternity houses like the Delta Sigma Phi one shown at right went up all over the campus and increased the housing capacity by 500.

And to further ease Tech's housing problems, he secured Lawson Apartments for student use.

By 1948, Tech could boast student housing the equal of any large American University.

"Research R. VAN LEER REALIZED the value of research to a technological institution and to the State which supported it.

At Tech, his record in research was close to phenomenal. When he took over, Tech's research volume was $50,000 per year. Today, it's pushing the $2,000,000 mark.

During his span at Tech, educational Foundations like the Georgia Tech Foundation, the Rich Foundation and the Hinman Foundation; industrial corporations like Lockheed, Georgia Power Co., and Remington Rand and the State of Georgia joined together to furnish facilities like those shown on these two pages.

Athletic

part of collegiate life was one of Blake R. Van Leer's great beliefs. And he championed that belief whenever he managed the opportunity. He was very proud of Tech's athletic program. And the two athletic directors who served under him — Bill Alexander and Bobby Dodd — never let him down. Tech's teams — win or lose — always gave a good account of themselves. And during the Van Leer era, Tech won a great deal more than they lost.

The Athletic Association added to its plant with the new West Stands of Grant Field and to Tech with the new tennis courts. And one of the President's great dreams will come true this summer when the Alexander Memorial Building, right, built through alumni subscription and athletic association funds, will be completed.

were many during the past ten years. Student dining facilities were improved when the Bradley Foundation furnished aid to help the State add the Bradley Building, top left, to the administration's College Inn. In 1949, the Dining Hall was enlarged at a cost of $200,000. And, also in 1949, the President's home was completed, a gift of a single Tech alumnus through the Foundation.

On February 29, the new Highway Building of the State of Georgia, top right, will be dedicated. It will be shared by Tech's C.E. School.

And, out in Chamblee, Georgia, Southern Tech, a division of Georgia Tech, opened its doors to students in 1948. Since then it has been busy training technicians for Southern industry.

is ONLY AS GOOD as its faculty was one axiom in which Blake R. Van Leer believed wholeheartedly. Consequently, he spent a considerable amount of effort securing and retaining a superior faculty. That he served Tech in the period when bidding for the services of scientific and engineering teachers reached an all-time high and still managed to hold a large percentage of Tech's best people shows how well he did this task.

A good faculty to produce the superior alumnus must have a good product with which to work. Tech still gets the cream of the South's crop of scientific and engineering students. And Tech's faculty sees to it that only the qualified graduate.

Any college is eventually rated by the effectiveness of its alumni in the industrial and business worlds.

That Georgia Tech's reputation has continued to grow during Blake R. Van Leer's tenure is ample proof of his success as president of the institution.

says simply: President, Col. Blake Ragsdale Van Leer, and for most of the thousands who carry his signature on their degrees that is as close as they ever came to him. Even his final handshake at Graduation was mere formality. But I believe he gave it with more sincerity than any formality could subdue, because he truly loved Georgia Tech. And every graduate is a part of Tech.

When Col. Van Leer became President of Georgia Tech he fulfilled one of his greatest ambitions. He came in a time of need. The testimony of the effectiveness with which he filled that need is written for all to see in the visual form of a greatly expanded physical plant a much greater enrollment, and more graduates during his tenure than the combined total before he took office. It is written less tangibly in the increased prestige of Tech across the Country, and in the minds of the men who came to know him.

I knew him from a distance and from very close since I first came to Tech in 1948, and always I came away with an increased respect for him.

HE GEORGIA TECH BULLETIN

any real knowledge of him however, did nothing to enhance his stature in my eyes. I watched him being verbally torn to shreds at a mass student meeting held in protest of a projected compulsory meal plan. It was not a good taste. But later my distaste turned to repect; respect for a man who was not above placing himself in a position to be attacked so that he might hear the students' complaint. He didn't "pass the buck."

More than the normal share of student-president contacts followed that inauspicious beginning.

I watched and laughed at the fun when he personally chauffeured a student to a Tech dance as a contest prize.

I accepted his congratulations for DramaTech performances and other achievements in Campus activities.

I received from his hand my only military decoration.

I listened to his many speeches which he gave no matter how small the occasion. And while he was never a good speaker, and probably knew this, he never shied away from a request because he was speaking for Tech. And he loved speaking for Tech. It showed through the faults of his delivery. v* And quite close to the source, I wouln't be writing this column but for his judgment when the Yellow Jacket came to grief.

I sang with the Glee Club in his home, and saw there a man who took pride in his family and his position.

I've spoken with many Alumni about "the colonel" and found my respect for him echoed in theirs.

I've been proud of his outspoken and honest opinion on intercollegiate athletics and their value in education.

HE FIRST TIME I HAD

B

greatest moment as President of Georgia Tech, the moment when he touched a responsive chord in every student now at Tech or gone before, came last Fall when he stood by his and the word of Tech, and fulfilled an engagement in the Sugar Bowl. It was great, not because he defied the wishes of a powerful political figure, but because he kept his integrity and maintained the confidence of Georgia Tech. Whether or not they realize it in just those words, this will be his highest mark in the minds and memory of his students . . . the students he strove to educate to manhood.

This is a part of the memory of Col. Blake Van Leer for a student . . . a student who knew him better than most, less than some, but who shares a common respect with all.

And a very deep sense of loss.

ECH'S YELLOW JACKETS won the most controversial game of the year in their usual controversial manner when they edged Pittsburgh, 7-0, in the Sugar Bowl on January 2.

Fate had it that the center of the December storm over the participation of Tech in the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Panther fullback Bobby Grier, first Negro to play in a Sugar Bowl gameâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; was the central figure in the play that spelled victory for the Jackets. To put it bluntly, Grier was the goat of the play that set up the only score of the game. It happened this way: After Pitt kicked off to Tech, the Jackets couldn't move on the opening set of downs. They kicked to the Panthers, who took over deep in their own territory and started to move. A first down and seven plays later, Tech guard Allen Ecker grabbed a Pitt fumble at the Pennsylvanians' 32 and the Jackets were in business. On the first play, Mitchell pulled out to the left and, after fooling all but one Panther, threw to end Ellis in the right corner of the end zone. On his way to the ball, Ellis was hindered by the basketballguarding tactics of Grier, and the officials ruled it Tech"s ball at the one because of pass interference. Mitchell tried a sneak from there, but the Panthers were offside, and Tech had it at the Vi-yard line. The next play was another sneak with the big Jacket quarterback going in for the score. Mitchell added the point, and Tech began to play Tennessee-style ball.

End of the controversial play that still has New Orleans sports writers talking. Ellis reaches for pass from Mitchell as Panthers' Grier falls to ground. Interference took place before this moment.

Tech's great goal line stand against Pitt stops the Panthers at the Vi-yard line late in the 2nd quarter. Injured Mitchell (11) helps.

20

For the next two quarters, the Jackets fought a magnificent defensive battle. Their kicking forced the Panthers to start every drive deep in Pitt territory, and it was late in the second quarter before the Panthers threatened with a 79-year drive that was stopped at the Tech one on a great Tech defensive effort. The drive came to a halt just seconds before time ran out in the first half.

Tech threatened again late in the game on a long drive that carried to the Pitt seven before a pass interception halted it. The Panthers had one last-ditch drive to tie it up halted by the clock at the Tech 4, but the way the Tech defenses were acting near the goal, it was no more of a sure bet than their first-half attempt.

The Jackets played the entire second half without the services of Mitchell, who was injured in the great defensive effort of the first half.

Statistically, the Panthers looked to have all the best of it, but Tech opponents have long since learned to discount statistics when they tangle with a Bobby Dodd-coached team. It was another victory for smart football, and furthered Dodd's record as the most successful of all bowl coaches. His record is now 7-0 in the bowls and this victory was number 5 in the past five years. With only three men (Brooks, Morris and Fulcher ) departing from the first two teams, the Jackets already are being tapped for a bowl in 1957. It's getting to be a habit.

The Spirit of Service That Keeps on Growing There is a heritage of service that is passed on from one generation of telephone people to another.

It had its beginning more than eighty years ago when Alexander Graham Bell gave the world its first telephone. It has grown as the business has grown.

Many times each day and night this spirit of service is expressed in some friendly, helpful act for some-

one in need. The courtesy, loyalty and teamwork that telephone people put into their daily jobs are a part of it.

Out of it have come the courage and inspiration that have surmounted fire and flood and storm.

We, the telephone people of today, are vested with the responsibility of carrying on this trust. It is human to make mistakes and so at times

the job we do for you may not be all that we want it to be. But in the long run, we know that how we do our individual job and how we bear our individual responsibility will determine how we fulfill our trust.

For our business is above all a business of people . . . of men and women who live and work and serve in countless communities throughout the land.
