In the image, standing is Prof. K. W. Haug (Applied Mechanics Department) while Prof. R. Natarajan is seated. Prof. K. W. Haug was from West Germany and joined the department of applied mechanics of IIT Madras in 1961.


Mr. R. Natarajan’s (First Registrar) term ended in 1965 after spending five and a half years at the Institute. His involvement with IIT Madras went beyond fulfilling his administrative duties. The relationships he maintained with the staff and students were warm and friendly. He was known to have handled any problem presented to him with a lively personal concern. He brought infectious enthusiasm to bear on the organization of all the Gymkhana activities- be it in the sports fields or in the literary and cultural areas. His unique personality was cherished by all who he encountered and is without a question the most unforgettable Registrar IIT Madras has had to this day. A farewell party was organised in his honour in April 1965.
