What's In A Name?   

Charting the names of IIT yearbooks is like charting the genealogy of a family with a shifting sense of identity. Lewis Institute, the distaff side, had a well-defined sense of identity for almost 40 years, using the name The Lewis Annual from 1903 to 1940. Armour Institute of Technology experimented with monikers like Integral, Senior Class Book, and Cycle. The first joint yearbook of the new "marriage" was titled Polygon, but the name quickly reverted to Integral. After seven years of non-publication in the 1980s, the one-year revival of the student annual in 1987 was titled Unified.
