Many campus buildings erected early in the century were designed by William Patton (Patton Hall)
and Lingan Randolph, for whom Randolph Hall was named.
Randolph impressed a visiting V.A.M.C. faculty member when, as a student at Stevens Institute,
he risked his life to throw the switch on a big motor that lost its load and was threatening
to run wild. Randolph became dean of engineering in 1912 and was known as "Glass Eye" because
of his monocle.

issue of Virginia Tech Magazine.)
