    SKIPPER a Virginia Tech Tradition Since 1963 L.A

    College of Engineering Materials Science & Engineering Historical Bulletin No. 2 SKIPPER A Virginia Tech Tradition Since 1963 L.A. Ellis Where did Virginia Tech get that cannon and how did it become a football tradition? It all started back in the early 60’s with the well established rivalry between VPI & VMI (Virginia Tech was called VPI back then). Every Thanksgiving Day since at least 1918, these two football teams met on the football fi eld at Roanoke’s Victory Stadium in a game known as the “Military Classic of the South.” On game day, the VPI and the VMI Corps of Cadets would march through the streets of Roanoke from the train station to the stadium, often trading friendly barbs. In the fall of 1962, three VPI cadets in particular had grown tired of hearing from “Little John,” the VMI cannon, as it fi red at the start of the game. Worse, they dreaded the sound of the VMI Corps chanting, “Where’s your cannon?” Those three comrades, Alton “Butch” Harper, Homer “Sonny” Hickam, and George Fox, decided it was time for the VPI Corps of Cadets to have their own cannon. Back in Blacksburg, Sonny unearthed blueprints for a cannon and convinced the industrial engineering department to build a wooden model as a class project. George and Sonny conferred on the best way to make a charge that would explode with an impressive boom but would not fi re off any sort of missile. Meanwhile, Butch took on the formidable task of approaching the commandant with the plan and also locating a foundry where the cannon could be manufactured.

Davis, Chair of the Virginia Tech Foundation Board of Directors PUTTING THE VISION IN ACTION This past fiscal year was an extraordinary one for the Virginia Tech Foundation and the university’s Advancement Division. Our donors contributed more than $153 million in new gifts and commitments. Our Hotel Roanoke continued to be a very successful enterprise, as it broke last year’s record for revenue and was awarded the prestigious Four Diamond status from AAA. The Advancement Division began a new university tradition, Giving Day, which attracted over 4,300 participants and more than $1.6 million in contributions. Virginia Tech also joined a selective club — with fewer than 100 universities at last count — by passing the $1 billion threshold for our endowment. It is impossible to overstate how vital the endowment is to Virginia Tech’s future.

That’s why we have dedicated just about all of this issue to exploring what Tech is, why it’s important and how it touches you directly. This is the second issue in our two-plus years of publication that has been dedicated to a single topic. A few months ago, we turned the magazine over to immigrants, a huge and misunderstood group that is a significant contributor in both positive and negative ways to our culture. In the case of Virginia Tech, there’s not much argument that its contribution to our lives is overwhelmingly positive (try to convince a Hokie of that after a football loss to, say, James Madison University). Tech provides thousands of top-level jobs, research that has created thousands of others, leaders who help shape our communities, a first-rate education for our children, an international reputation that serves us all well and inventions that help shape our society.
