See my profile on Friendster - same first and last name...Founded on October 13, 1885, the Georgia School of Technology (not the North Ave Trade School as some myths have it) opened its doors in October 1888 to eighty-four students. The creation of this institution signaled the beginning of the transformation of the agrarian South to an industrial economy. During its first fifty years, Tech grew from a narrowly focused trade school to a regionally recognized technological university. In 1948, the name of the school was changed to the Georgia Institute of Technology to reflect a growing focus on advanced technological and scientific research. Women students were admitted in 1952, and in 1961 Georgia Tech became the first university in the Deep South to admit African American students without a court order.Join my group for Yellow Jacket alums: http://groups.myspace.com/GeorgiaTech
