Kenneth Cannicott Rogers (born March 21, 1929) was the 5th President of Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey.〔()〕 ==Stevens Institute of Technology== Prior to becoming President of Stevens, Rogers was head of the Physics Department and obtained sizable grants under the last years of the Davis administration; a factor that largely led to him being chosen. Within his first two years in office the number of nontenured faculty was cut by ten-percent. Shortly there after the University followed a national trend in huge drops in graduate enrollment between 1968 and 1974, following the end of the Vietnam War. At the same time, the independent corporate "Stevens Alumni Association" attempted to raise funds in parallel with an initiative by the Board of Trustees and President." Both initiatives suffered as a result of the other and in 1973 the Association amended its bylaws to put "contributions to the (run ) Stevens Fund under the direction of the Institute" and that said funds would "flow directly into the treasury of Stevens. Later that decade faculty of Stevens would become disgruntled and strike but be assuaged to come back under the pretense of the creation of a Faculty Council.〔Geoffrey Clark, ''History of Stevens Institute of Technology'' New Jersey: Jensen/Daniels, 2000, p.307〕 In line with the Institute's founding principles set forth by early Presidents Morton and Humphreys Paul Miller came to Stevens as "Artist in Residence" to further the well rounded education of Stevens engineers. His most visible impact on campus, "The Concrete Bird" was erected in front of Palmer Hall and was later moved to the library. During the search for a President following Rogers' resignation, Richard Griskey guided the university. His most notable contribution was the establishment of a Cooperative Education Program that would combine engineering education with on-the-job training in a five-year program."〔Geoffrey Clark, ''History of Stevens Institute of Technology'' New Jersey: Jensen/Daniels, 2000, p.370〕
