Academic Facilities , Administrators , Campus Buildings

Dr. K. Gerke, Rector of the Technical University, Braunschweig, West Germany visited IIT Madras for a week in 1966. An image taken from that time, found in the Institute’s third convocation brochure, indicates that he was received warmly and welcomed with a garland upon his arrival at the Institute. During his visit he actively interacted with a number of faculty and staff members and was shown the educational facilities of the campus. In the image: Dr. K. Gerke (third from left), fourth from left is possibly Prof. R. J. H Bisanz (Chemical Engineering Department) and Prof. D. Venkateswarlu (fourth from right) converse with one another in what is probably the chemical engineering laboratory.
