TECH PRESIDENT
URGES STATE TO
MEET SCHOOL’S
GREATEST NEED
Professor Matheson Declares In
stitution Must Have More Land
Space if It Is to Progress.
On the eve of the annual com
mencement of the OeorRin School of
Technology, Prof. K. Q. Matheson,
president of the Institution, ha* Is
sued an appeal to the people of At
lanta and the State of Georgia to
help to bring about a larger appro
priation by the State for the school,
in order that the capacity of the In
stitution might be enlarged to meet
the demand*.
Prof. Matheson give* an outline of
the work of the school. It* value to
the State and Its needs In this arti
cle, and conclude* with an Invitation
to the people of Georgia to partici
pate In the quarter centennial cele
bration, which begin* to-morrow
night and will continue through com
mencement week.
BY K. G. MATHESON.
(President flrorain Rrhool of Tech
nology.)
The South ha* become *o wide
awake to the need of developing
Its natural resource* that the
technological schools of the coun
try cannot turn out graduate en
gineers fast enough to meet the
demand.
The men trained at all our
Southern Institutions are numer
ically but a drop In the bucket.
An army of trained leaders is
needed.
ree years ago. for every
gra . i.ate engineer who came out
of a Southern Institution, fifteen
came Into this territory from the
North. p,nd then there were not
nearly enough.
No Limit To Need.
There Is no limit to the num
ber of men of this class needed.
We graduate about 70 this year.
I believe that If the class was
composed of 700, they could all
find Important work to do with
out waiting a month, and with
out going outside of Georgia.
The possibilities for the en
largement of Georgia Tech are
boundless. In the next 10 years
we ought to enlarge our proper
ty to 50 acres; we ought to double
our equipment; we ought to more
than double the size of our stu
dent body.
We of the South have already
awakened to a full realization of
the fact that wo have the great
est combination of natural re
sources in the world, but while
great strides are being made, our
resources are still for the most
part lying dormant. They are
awaiting efficient development.
The only possible way In which
this can be accomplished Is to
have trained Industrial leaders
and engineers.
One such skilled leader may
actually accomplish In real prog
ress more than an army of un
trained men.
Take, for Instance, our first
graduate, Mr. George G Craw
ford, president of the Tennessee
Coal & Iron Company, of Bir
mingham, who, due to his train
ing and experience, Is directing
the energies of some 20.000 men.
He Is helping make of Birming
ham and its surrounding territory
one of the great steel sections of
the world.
While nature has been prodigal
in bestowing upon the South these
natural resources, we have been
equally so In our waste and In
efficiency. The first thing need
ed is technically trained men. The
supply of such leaders Is the ob
ject of the Georgia School of
Technology. Tills Is strictly an
engineering Institute, giving hlgil
ly efficient courses in the seven
following deiwrtments:
Mechanical engineering.
Electrical engineering.
Civil engineering.
Textile engineering.
Engineering chemistry.
Chemistry.
Architecture.
Must Broaden Facilities.
So great Is the demand for
trained engineers in each of these
departments that the school can
not even begin to supply It. We
need to broaden out our facili
ties, not only in the seven degree
courses mentioned, hut In other
departments of engineering as
well.
Located as the school is In the
leading manufacturing city of the
South, and In the very heart of its
richest and most prosperous see-

remain in enjrln**f»in(c pursuit*,
and the large majority of them
are In commanding positions.
Is It any wonder that we feel
we have the right to nek the peo
ple of Atlanta and Georgia to help
uh double the c/ipaclty of our in
stitution?
More Ground Space Nece«s*ry.
We need twice as much ground
space. We neeo to reconstruct
temporary buildings and make
them permanent. We need more
buildings. We want to be able to
accommodate within a few years
a student body of 1,500 to 2,000.
Our annual resources now amount
to $90,000 from the State, $7,000
from the city and $30,000 In fees.
We need to double them, and
even then we will be able to use
more.
Several years ago at the Mas*
sachusettH Institute of Technolo
gy, the budget for maintenance
for one year was $625,000. The
attendance was only twice as
large as that at the Georgia Tech.
Yet, after spending the $126,000,
they had a deficit for the year of
$75,000, or more than the entire
appropriation of the State for
Tech at that time.
We hope that the State under
the revised system of taxation
will give us more adequate sup
port for maintenance, as well as
for equipment. We hope that the
City of Atlanta will recognize still
further that It Is the chief bene
ficiary of the school as regards
the spending of money, and that
In addition we annually educate
about 300 men from Fulton Coun
ty, including night s< hool stu
dents, practically free of charge.
In Cambridge it is considered a
disgrace for a well-to-do man to
die and not leave sofnethlng to
Harvard. We hope to Instill that
vital and righteous doctrine In the
hearts of the citizens of Atlanta.
In the 25 years of Tech’s life, we
have had practically only one be
quest, though numbers of hand
some donations have been receiv
ed, and have been of inestimable
value to the Institution.
Georgia Tech is or.e of the best
advertising assets the State has.
In my tours in all parts of the
country, I find that Georgia Tech
is invariably recognized for its
high standards and that in tech
nological and manufacturing cir
cles everywhere, the efficiency
and thorough character of the
work done at the Tech Is appre
ciated. The great corporations
send representatives here every
year at commencement time, to
select men from our senior class.
And our men are to-day occupy
ing high positions in all parts of
the country.
The Georgia Tech belongs to
Georgia and the people of Geor
gia. We invite them all to par
ticipate with us in the quarter
centennial celebration # that will
begin to-morrow night.

tion of tin- United States. The
two greatest factors in the ma
terial growth of any nation are
agriculture and manufacturing,
and they should by all means go
hand In hand.
We are rejoicing to see the re
naissance of agriculture in the
South, and our desire is to see the
same thing accomplished along
manufacturing and Industrial
lines. In fact, it has already been
begun, but it must be carried for-
ward. We are moving in the
right direction. The essential
thing is to keep on moving. Hero
in Atlanta, our young men come
in contact with manufactories of
all kinds. There are over 800
factories in the city, which fur
nish to the students at Tech an
unequalled opportunity not mere
ly for inspection and observation,
but for actual practical experi
ence. It is an inspiration to
them. The intense practicality of
the Georgia School of Technology
is our chief pride. We keep a
careful record of every graduate,
