[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 362560, member: 2957"] OK - time for walk down Memory Lane. Georgia Tech was founded by John Fletcher Hanson, a wealthy industrialist and principal of Bibb Manufacturing. Hanson noted that all of the technical support for the developing textile industry had to be sourced from the Northern states. So, he used his political connections to advocate the establishment of a technical college in support of the emerging industrial base of the state of Georgia. Later, as engineers were tasked to lead more complex organizations, a commerce college was added and located downtown. As no such school existed at the time, Georgia Tech took the lead and established the Evening School. But, because it was felt that it should be spun off, it was. It is now called Georgia State University. It was re-introduced at Tech to better integrate engineering and business disciplines. The management of engineering is different than that of general business. It remains part of Tech to support the entrepreneurial efforts of its technical graduates. [/QUOTE]
