wk YEAR . .... . if close of the 1908-1918 decade the number was substantially above one thousand. This welcome increase in enrollment was accompanied by a similar growth in physical size and curricula variety. Five new buildings were erected, the most outstanding of which were the Hospital, resulting from a Carnegie donationg the Y. M. C. A. Building, given by the Rockefeller Foundationg and the Military Building, which was to play an important part in Tech's life during the war. The Architecture and Co-operative De- partments were addedg the latter, coming in answer to the growi demands of in- dustry, gave evidence that Tech was abreast of the times. Duel r ely to the efforts of the Anali Society, the Technique began to be published in 1911. Growth of ac- credited high schools in the South allowed the Sub-apprentice Class to be abolished, and the other groups to be given their present classifications. The close of the decade brought the war and the beginnings of a war-time situation to Tech. Gpening its fourth decade of life, Georgia Tech offered itself whole-heartedly to the government in support of war preparation. The entire school was placed under military supervision, and every student was required to live on the campus. To ac- complish this, cots were placed in all available rooms, and tents dotted the campus. Approximatelylfive hundred students were sent over in the summer of 1918, and those who returned in February were given credit for a semesteris worlc. After the war another period of expansion set in. A serious campaign for a uGreater Techs' resulted in many contributions by friends and alumni, and these gifts in turn resulted in new and modernly equipped buildings. Nine new buildings were constructed by 1928. Graduate study in many courses, General Science, and Ceramic Engineering also came to Tech in this period. President Matheson, after seventeen years of faithful service, resigned in 1922 to become president of ' exel Institute. His successor and our pres- ent president, Dr. M. L. Brittain, has been argely responsible for the constant develop- ment of Tech since 1922. Recognition of Tech as a leader in inter-collegiate athletics became a reality in the fifth decade. On January 1, 1929, the Golden Tornado of Georgia Tech defeated the Golden Bears of the University of California to win, in the Tournament of Roses Con- test at Pasadena, the football championship of the world for that year. This ad- vancement in athletics can be attributed in a large measure to Coach William Alexander, Director of Athletics. Other activities kept pace with athletics. Many outstanding honor societies and engineering groups recognized Tech with their chapters. This period has also seen the culmination of the uGreater Techu drive and has realized fully the benefits of it. By the aid of the Works Progress Administration and through gifts, new buildings have continued to be erected. The Aeronautical Building and the Depart- ment of Aeronautical Engineering came to Tech as a result of a gift of the Guggenheim Board. The latest departments added, General Engineering and lndustrial Manage- ment, serve to complete a well-rounded variety of courses from which the prospective student may chfse. An enrollment of twenty-three hundred and titty students in the schoolls fiftieth year indicates that the number of these prospective students will grow even larger in the years to come. This, briefly, is a record of Georgia Techqs first fifty years. To say that Tech has reached its height would be a gross misstatementg but, to say that it has progressed substantially and will continue to do so in the future would be a statement justified by this record.
