Georgia State's First Building Named For Kell rofessor Wayne Sailley Kell organized the commerce department at Georgia Tech in 1913. Kell, a graduate of the Colorado School of Mines was originally employed by Georgia Tech to teach mineralogy and geology. However, since no students registered that year for those courses, Kell persuaded the administration to let him teach engineering students how to control the money they made. That began Kell's connection with the new courses in Commerce. ln 1914, he was named Dean. His personal objectives were to interest business men in Atlanta in an evening school where young men and women could study, to give himself a thorough training in business so that he could raise the standards of the school and to make the school co- educational eventually. Since he soon realized all of these goals and became Georgia's third Certified Public School of Commerce. initially, Kell was one of three regular instructors, and prominent business men were invited to lecture. ln 1917, Kell resigned his post as Dean and left the school to join the Coca-Cola Company but he still taught classes. At this time, the teaching staff had swelled to twelve. Naturally, when the school moved into the first building of its own, that building was named Kell Hall. Further, at the first Honors Day ceremony, May 26, 1939, Mary Hammond was given the W.S. Kell Award.
