And the many alums and current students that fought for this name change. As to why it didn't happen sooner, my guess would be that the activism around college names didn't really start up until the two newer residential colleges were announced. We tried to get Hopper as one of the names, but the board decided otherwise (to the tune of about 250 million to name on after Ben Franklin). It is also like pulling teeth getting institutional change.
Hopper College has a nice ring to it. Not as nice as Saybrook, but nothing is.
