Hide Profile

The first recorded meeting of a Georgia Tech alumni association was held in 1896. In 1919, reorganization occurred and new by-laws were drafted under the name of the Georgia Tech National Alumni Association, under the leadership of W. H. Glenn (1891). In 1922, Albert H. Staton (ME '22) was hired as the first executive secretary. He also served as the editor of the Georgia Tech Alumnus magazine, which made its debut in March 1923. Robert B. (Bob) Wallace, Jr. (1921-1970), Georgia Tech Alumnus' longest-serving editor, headed the magazine from 1953 until his untimely death in 1970. In 1973, in a tough economic climate, the Alumni Association decided to end publication of the Georgia Tech Alumnus. In the final issue (Summer 1973) it was stated that Tech Topics, the publication sent to all alumni, was a better value than the Alumnus which was sent only to roll call contributors. However, in 1975, the magazine resumed publication under the name Georgia Tech Alumni Magazine.
