X ENMENG 'kirfk , The lirst small seeds which grew into the founding of Tech were sown when two Civil War veterans had a con- versation in May, 1882. These men were Major F. Han- son, publisher and manufacturer, and Nathaniel E. Harris, a Macon attorney, who later became govern ar of Georgia. Hanson saw the need for the school, and encouraged Harris to help malce it a reality. He was elected to the State Legislature using the need for a technological school as a mafor part of his platform. He directed his efforts to this end, and in 1885, the lnill was passed by a very narrow margin. Three years later, Techls doors were opened to one hundred and thirty students seelcing the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nlechanical Engineering. Trophy presented to Nathaniel Harris, founder of Tech. 1. In 1888 the school lnegan classes with its nrst two buildings. They stand now. Aging and obsolete, the ,Administration and-Old Shop Building have endured time to see the modern outline of the Electrical Engineering Building, and will proli- aluly see the new Chemistry Building and many others. A 'X But they once stood alone on the hill, with the rest of the campus just tree-covered hills and a lazy stream on the northernmost edge of Atlanta, 1888. H 4 L7 Before 1900, Swann and Knowles dormitories and the A. French Textile Building were completed. The Smith Shop Building was built-now the post office. At that time, the annual appropriation had reached the ponderousi 'figure of S40,000. The following Hfteen years sa,w the Lyman Hall Chemistry Building, Carnegie Library, Whitehead Infirmary, YMCA Building Building completed. Grant Field was built in 1913. , , 'In the twenties and thirtiesf came the Physics, Ceramics, Naval Armory, C.E.,-and Engineeringnbflechanics buildings, .along with Haxrris, Cloudman, Techwood, Harrison, and Howell dormitories. XBrittain Dining Hall was built in '28. 1 'A 'Glenn and Towers dorms, the Hightower Textile Building, the Architecture building, completed in the late forties Wand earlylfifties, mark- the beginning of the campusqs newer buildings.
