The 2014-2015 Thesis Manual specifies the title page should include a 4cm x 3.87 cm Drexel logo at the bottom of the page, maintaining the vertical centering of the text.

This pull request includes the new vertical logotype and the update to the template.

If the title is longer than 3 lines, the text will overlap the logo at the specified size.

It looks like a few of these commits have the same content:

I can handle rebasing that to squash things down to 87c9bdc though.

Where did the new logo come from? A URL in the commit message would
be nice. I can insert that while I'm rerolling it if that's easier
for you, just tell me what URL to use.

I'd rather not hard-code the \vspace{-3.87cm}, but my \vspace memories
are pretty rusty ;). I'll poke around and see if there's a way to
handle this more elastically.

My apologies for the duplicated commits -- I should have rebased myself before submitting the pull request.

Unfortunately, there is no official URL for the logo -- I had to request it from University Communications via the graphic identify site.

I would also rather not hard-code the \vspace{-3.87cm}, but despite discussions with my colleagues, we could not come up with a better alternative.

No worries.

Heh, ok. I don't know why PDF versions of the logo aren't easier to
get, but whatever ;).

Yeah, no promises about me finding something better ;). But I'd like
to poke around a bit first just in case.
