Prof. S. Sampath (Deputy Director) (left) and Prof. N. Klein (Gymkhana President) (extreme right) are also present in the photograph.

Prof. A. Ramachandran (Director, second from left) was the second Director of IIT Madras. His tenure began in December 1967 after Prof. B. Sengupto completed his term. Dr. Karl Pfauter (Consul General of the Federal Republic of Germany, third from left) was the chief guest at the Ninth Institute Day at IIT Madras.

It is very likely that the magazine being presented is the Annual Number of IIT Madras. Annual Numbers were released on Institute Days in the 1960s. The Annual Numbers contained articles, poems and stories by the staff and students. They also contained several reports of the Institute.
