Does anyone have a source for this statement (I corrected the spelling of 'Rocovich' in an earlier edit):

"This legacy inspired John Rocovich, Rector of the VPI&SU Board of Visitors, to make the use of Hokie Stone on all new buildings imperative."

According to http://www.cdcd.vt.edu/Standards_Codes/Design_Guidelines.pdf (dated 2004), the use is required only on building in the immediate vicinity of the campus Drillfield.
