Stevens Through the Years

The passing of President George H.W. Bush this month inspired tributes and fond remembrances from current and former presidents, colleagues, friends and world leaders. At Stevens, the university community was reminded of its own connection to one of America's most influential families. Samuel Prescott Bush, a member of the Stevens Class of 1884, was the grandfather of the nation’s 41st president and great-grandfather of the nation’s 43rd president. S.P. Bush studied mechanical engineering while at Stevens — and, outside the classroom, was a member of one of the first college football teams in the U.S. He went on to become one of the top industrialists of his time, serving as a railroad executive and president of Buckeye Steel Castings Company, having taken the helm of the company from Frank Rockefeller, brother of John D. Rockefeller. Today, he is remembered for his entrepreneurial spirit and work ethic, which he applied to making an impact on society and how we live.
