...architecture from Milan Politechnico, Ferre set off for India where the colors and materials inspired him to pursue a career in fashion. He opened his own label, Baila, in 1974 and then another signature label, Gianfranco Ferre, in 1978.

...with bright eyes and wispy hair tells a story. R. Baldwin Lloyd came to Virginia Tech as a chaplain 50 years ago and never left. He was part of a lecture audience on campus the night Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968. A cheer went up when the audience heard the news. Later a near riot erupted when Virginia Tech's few black students lowered the flag to half-staff. Since then, "we've opened doors to people from all over the world!" Lloyd marvels.
