The LaTeX class drexel-thesis is distributed in the docstrip file drexel-thesis.dtx with the install file drexel-thesis.ins For more information on the docstrip format, see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/dtxtut/ http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/base/ To generate the class file drexel-thesis.cls, the template files, the pdf documentation, and a bunch of intermediate files, run make in this directory. You'll need to install drexel-thesis.cls somewhere in your texmf tree (or just dump it into the top level of your thesis directory). Running make temp-clean will get rid of the intermediate files. We also package the LyX template `drexel-thesis.layout` to assist those using the drexel-thesis template with LyX. Happy TeXing!
