This collection contains George Griffin's personal and business records, correspondence, files on Georgia Tech sports, scrapbooks, and certificates and awards dating mainly from the period following George Griffin's retirement in 1964. The papers reflect Griffin's continued deep involvement during his retirement in a variety of Tech-related activities, including Georgia Tech sports, his fraternity (Pi Kappa Phi), the Alumni Association, and the Class of 1922. Series 5, Writings, contains materials for his book, Griffin: You Are a Great Disappointment to Me. A military datebook (Series 2, Subseries 3), a class schedule (Series 3), and his football and track letter certificates (Series 7) date from his student and wartime days. Many of the business records (Series 3) and some of the track and cross country files (Series 4, Subseries 1) come from the period before Griffin's retirement.
