GEORGIA TECH NG AS VIEWED BY AN OLD GRAD I must admit 1 louiul llic invilatioii to descrilje ihe rcaclions ol a ((|unle) old grad (unquote) returning to his Alma Mater after twenty-live years as intimidat- ing as complimentary. hat small talents ior self- preservation I may have developed during my years in the competitive jungU; vvere scarcelv those of a literary nature. Reactions, emotions and the like are best left to llir man ol lclt(Ms. Even an engineer must have his limitations, as 1, lor C)ne, do not happen to know any voiy literary engineers. T am sure there are some. Today there is every kind of an nigineer. All I know i- that T woidd like to find one, ol necessity a Tech man. and hrihe him to gh(i t write this pir ce for me. Then, too, 1 am filled with the tear tliat the reactions ol a (cpiote) old grad (lUKpiote) no matter how poign- antly presented, will prove to he |)relty dull fare. I am flattered that the editors think otherwise. Further- more, I feel strongly that 1 coidd turn out a more creditable piece on ' The Contribution of the Magnetic Ta[)e to Dimensional Sound. c (mi though it universal appeal might be cpic-tioned. These reaction . now that I take them out and re-examine them. I find to be a pretty conglouiciate mixture. . . . Cerlainlv astornshment. apjirdbalion aiul pride were foremost when T was first confionled by the myriad changes which have taken place on the Tech campus, and the impact of these changes was not slight. They brought home very urgently the span of years since graduation. Moral: fay homage to your old Alma Mater regularly. However, the fact that the occasion of this visit was mv twenty-hfth reunion gave me a slight edge over old Rip Van Winkle. So manv Van Winkles hobbled down the mountain simultainMii lv that my hoary head and bent frame were partial!) eclipsed. Aging is as depend- ent upon ( ' ompanv as mi ' ery, and alter initial jolts of mutual appraisal all-round, being surrounded by tnv ' ontenipuraries lent a certain comfortable anonym- itv to the visit. Jn other words, I was spared the imlignitv of the |)ointed fmger and the solto voce: Look at that old codger . . . what ' s he hacking around for? All this enabled me to contemplate the remarkable in- novations around me without being overly distracted by the personal. Not tliat the personal could be entirely disregarded. I recall likening the old class ' mean belt line to that of the campus — both had expanded im- pre- ively — both had a very jirosperous look. Prosperity, expau ' -ion. progress — these were in evi- dence everywhere fiom the hour of n)y debarkation at . llanta. Impressive statistics r() -ering this city ' s intliistria! .■onlribution to the nation had been widely over ]]e ears. but statistics are like post- ciri ulatet cards. Neither have much dimension
