Disque Hall and Stratton Hall (originally called the Basic Sciences Building when it was built in 1955) are dedicated in 1967 to two beloved dean emerituses. Disque Hall — which is actually pronounced “Disk-way” — is named after Robert C. Disque, two-time interim president and dean emeritus of the College of Engineering and Science. Stratton Hall is named after Leon D. Stratton, who had recently passed after serving Drexel for 43 years as dean of men, dean of alumni, head of the Chemistry Department, professor and instructor. The grandsons of each Drexel dean unveil the plaque in their grandfathers’ honor.
