Atlanta during the Civil War (c. 1864)

The idea of Georgia Institute of Technology was introduced in 1865 during the Reconstruction period. Two former Confederate officers, Major John Fletcher Hanson and Nathaniel Edwin Harris, who had become prominent citizens in the town of Macon, Georgia after the war, strongly believed that the South needed to improve its technology to compete with the industrial revolution that was occurring throughout the North.[4][5] Many Southerners at this time agreed with this idea. However, because the American South of that era was mainly comprised of agricultural workers and few technical developments were occurring, a technology school was needed.[4][5] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

On October 13, 1885, Georgia Governor Henry D. McDaniel signed the bill to create and fund the new school.[1] In 1887, Atlanta pioneer Richard Peters donated four acres of his extensive land holdings to the state;[1] this land was bounded on the south by North Avenue, and on the west by Cherry Street.[1] He then sold five adjoining acres of land to the state for $10,000,[1] approximately equivalent to $182,717.44 in 2006.[7] This land was located near the northern city limits of Atlanta at the time of its founding, although the city has now expanded several miles beyond it. A historical marker on the large hill in Central Campus notes that the site occupied by the school's first buildings once held fortifications built to protect Atlanta during the Atlanta Campaign of the American Civil War.

Early years

An early picture of Georgia Tech

The Georgia School of Technology opened its doors in the fall of 1888 with only two buildings.[4] One building (now Tech Tower, an administrative headquarters) had classrooms to teach students; The second building featured a shop and had a foundry, forge, boiler room and engine room. It was designed specifically for students to work and produce goods to sell and fund the school. The two buildings were equal in size to show the importance of teaching both the mind and the hands;[4] though, at the time, there was some disagreement to whether the machine shop should have been used to turn a profit.[6] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Georgia Tech's Evening School of Commerce began holding classes in 1912.[11] The school admitted its first female student in 1917, although the state legislature did not officially authorize attendance by women until 1920.[11][12] Annie T. Wise became the first female graduate in 1919 and went on to become Georgia Tech's first female faculty member the following year.[11][12] In 1931, the Board of Regents transferred control of the Evening School of Commerce to the University of Georgia (UGA) and moved the civil and electrical engineering courses at UGA to Tech.[11][12] Tech replaced the commerce school with what later became the College of Management. The commerce school would later split from UGA and eventually become Georgia State University.[11][13] The Georgia Board of Regents was created in 1931 and is part of the states government. ...

Modern history

Institute President Dr. G. Wayne Clough speaks at a student meeting

Founded as the Georgia School of Technology, it assumed its present name in 1948 to reflect a growing focus on advanced technological and scientific research.[14] Unlike similarly-named universities (such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the California Institute of Technology), the Georgia Institute of Technology is a public institution.

The school's first female students were admitted in 1952,[15] although women could not enroll in all programs at Tech until 1968. Industrial Engineering was the last program to open to women.[15][11] The first women's dorm, Fulmer Hall, opened in 1969.[11] Women constituted 28.6% of the undergraduates and 25.8% of the graduate students enrolled in Fall 2006.[16] In 1959, a meeting of 2,741 students voted by an overwhelming majority to endorse integration of qualified applicants, regardless of race.[17] Three years after the meeting, and one year after the University of Georgia's violent integration,[17] Georgia Tech became the first university in the Deep South to desegregate without a court order.[18] There was little reaction to this by Tech students; according to former mayor William Hartsfield, Tech students were "too busy to hate."[17] The University of Georgia (UGA) is the largest institution of higher learning in the U.S. state of Georgia. ...

John Patrick Crecine was instrumental in securing the 1996 Summer Olympics for Atlanta. A dramatic amount of construction occurred, creating most of what is now considered "West Campus" in order for Tech to serve as the Olympic Village.[19] The Undergraduate Living Center, Fourth Street Apartments, Sixth Street Apartments, Eighth Street Apartments, Hemphill Apartments, and Center Street Apartments housed athletes and journalists. The Georgia Tech Aquatic Center was built for swimming events, and the Alexander Memorial Coliseum was renovated.[11][19] The school also erected the Kessler Campanile and fountain to serve as a landmark and symbol of the Institute on television broadcasts.[11] Since then, the Campanile has come to be known by students as "The Shaft."[20] John Patrick Crecine (Pat) (born 1939) was a U.S. educator and held tenured, professorships in public policy, political science, and sociology at the University of Michigan (1968-1975), in political economy and social and decision sciences at Carnegie Mellon University (1975-87), and in industrial and systems engineering, and...

In 1994, G. Wayne Clough became the first Tech alumnus to serve as the President of the Institute, and was in office during the 1996 Summer Olympics. In 1998, he separated the Ivan Allen College of Management, Policy, and International Affairs into the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts and returned the College of Management to "College" status (Crecine, the previous president, had demoted Management from "College" to "School" status as part of a controversial 1990 reorganization plan).[21][22] His tenure has been focused on a dramatic expansion of the institute, a revamped Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP), and the creation of an International Plan.[23][24] Dr. G.

Demographics

The student body consists of 18,500 graduate and undergraduate students, and more than 900 full-time instructional faculty.[25]


Historically, female enrollment at engineering institutions has been quite low and Georgia Tech is no exception. With about twice as many male students as females, Georgia Tech has one of the most unbalanced male-to-female ratios of any co-ed university. However, this is slowly changing presumably due to the university's growing liberal arts programs as well as outreach programs to encourage more female high school students to consider careers in science and engineering, such as the "Women In Engineering" program and also having a chapter of The Society of Women Engineers.[26][27] As of Spring 2007, the freshman class of 2006–2007 had a ratio of 68.8% to 31.2%.[28] The highest freshman ratio in the past few years (counting only Fall and Spring semesters)[29] was Spring 2006, with a ratio of 70.5% to 29.5%.[28] This article is about the Male sex. ...

Funding

The Georgia Institute of Technology is a public institution, receiving funds from the State of Georgia, tuition, fees, research grants, and alumni contributions. In 2006, the school's revenue amounted to approximately $879 million, with 27% of that amount from the state, and 12% from tuition and fees.[30] Most of the remaining funds were donated by private sources, including the most generous alumni donor base, percentage-wise, of any public university ranked in the top 50.[31] The Institute's expenses for 2006 were $860 million; 41% of that figure went to research, 21% to instruction, and 1% to scholarships.[32] A public university is an institution of higher education that is funded by public means through a national or regional government. ...

Industry connections

Owing to its roots as a trade school, Georgia Tech maintains close ties to the industrial world. Many of these connections are made through Georgia Tech's uniquely popular and robust cooperative education and internship programs. Georgia Tech's Division of Professional Practice (DoPP), established in 1912 as the Georgia Institute of Technology Cooperative Division,[40] operates the fourth-oldest cooperative education program in the United States.[41] The DoPP is specifically charged with providing opportunities for students to gain real-world employment experience through four programs, each targeting a different body of students. The Undergraduate Cooperative Education Program is a five-year program in which undergraduate students alternate between semesters of formal instruction at Georgia Tech and semesters of full-time employment with their employers. The Graduate Cooperative Education Program, established in 1983, is the largest such program in the United States.[42] It allows graduate students pursuing master's degrees or doctorates in any field to spend a maximum of two consecutive semesters working full- or part-time with employers. The Undergraduate Professional Internship Program enables undergraduate students — typically juniors or seniors — to complete a one- or two-semester internship with employers.

Due to the school's location in Midtown Atlanta, Tech students have the social options of the city to choose from, in addition to many school-sponsored or school-related events.[45] In terms of off-campus social options, being located in a city like Atlanta offers a number of options for Tech students. Just off campus, there are several restaurants available to students, especially in Tech Square. "Home Park," a neighborhood that borders the north end of campus, is a popular living area for Tech students and recent grads,[46] and a number of parties and barbecues are hosted by the neighborhood's residents.[47] Image File history File links Metadata Size of this preview: 400 × 600 pixelsFull resolution (2336 × 3504 pixel, file size: 6. ...

Tech has a number of legends and traditions, some of which have persisted for decades. Some are well-known; for example, the most notable of these is the popular but rare tradition of stealing the 'T' from Tech Tower. Tech Tower, Tech's historic primary administrative building, has the letters TECH hanging atop it on each of its four sides. A number of times, students have orchestrated complex plans to steal the huge symbolic letter T, and on occasion have carried this act out successfully. The latest instance of this tradition occurred in October 2005, when a replica of the T was stolen from the Student Services Building and returned two days later.[50] One of the cherished holdovers from Tech's early years, a steam whistle blows five minutes before the hour, every hour from 7:55 a.m. to 5:55 p.m.[51] It is for that reason that the faculty newspaper is named The Whistle.[20] Image File history File linksMetadata Download high-resolution version (2048x1365, 411 KB) A closeup view of the Tech Tower sign. ...

Georgia Tech holds a heated, long and ongoing rivalry with the University of Georgia, known as Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate. The first known hostilities between the two schools trace back to 1891. The University of Georgia's literary magazine proclaimed UGA's school colors to be "old gold, black, and crimson." Dr. Charles H. Herty, the first UGA football coach, felt that old gold was too similar to yellow and that it "symbolized cowardice." After the 1893 football game against Tech, Herty removed old gold as an official school color.[52] Tech would first use old gold for their uniforms, as a proverbial slap in the face to UGA, in their first unofficial football game against Auburn in 1891.[53] Georgia Tech's school colors would thenceforth be old gold and white. The University of Georgia (UGA) is the largest institution of higher learning in the U.S. state of Georgia. ...

The Georgia Tech campus is located in Midtown, an area north of downtown Atlanta. Although a number of skyscrapers — most visibly the headquarters of AT&T, The Coca-Cola Company, and Bank of America — are visible from all points on campus, the campus itself has few buildings over four stories and has a great deal of greenery. This gives it a distinctly suburban atmosphere quite different from other Atlanta campuses such as that of Georgia State University.[70][71] Image File history File linksMetadata Size of this preview: 800 × 292 pixelsFull resolution (2233 × 815 pixel, file size: 429 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg) File links The following pages on the English Wikipedia link to this file (pages on other projects are not listed): Georgia Institute of Technology Metadata This...

East Campus houses all of the Fraternities and Sororities as well as most of the undergraduate freshman dormitories. As of Fall 2007, North Avenue Apartments, previously owned by Georgia State, are a part of Georgia Tech’s East Campus.[72] About 2000 Georgia Tech undergraduates reside there. Although the residences are similar, East Campus is decidedly more urban than West Campus. East Campus abuts on the Downtown Connector. Via a number of bridges over the highway as well as a tunnel under it, East Campus has quick access to Midtown and its businesses such as The Varsity. Georgia Tech football's home, Bobby Dodd Stadium is located on East Campus, as well as Georgia Tech basketball's home Alexander Memorial Coliseum. Brittain Dining Hall is the main dining hall for East Campus. It is modeled after a medieval church, complete with carved columns and stained-glass windows showing symbolic figures. The main road leading from East Campus to Central Campus is an ascending incline commonly known as "Freshman Hill" (in reference to the large number of freshman dorms near its foot) or simply "The Hill."

Four Georgia Tech Football teams were selected as national champions in news polls: 1917, 1928, 1952, and 1990.
