    Georgia Tech Traditions The Evolution of Georgia Tech Spirit “Ramblin’ Wreck from Georgia Tech” Words written in 1893 Copyright not sold to Georgia Tech until 1952 for 1 dollar Based off of “Son of a Gambolier” Words written by student: Billy Walthall Arrangement by Mike Greenblatt and Frank Roman Used to sound more like a hop-step Before it was published, it was adopted as unofficial fight song Letter from Mr. Paul Lavaille to Mike A. Greenblatt: “In 1911, the writer had the pleasure of organizing Georgia Tech’s first band which was rather small in that the school was then small. At that time, I made an arrangement of the ‘Ramblin’ Wreck from Georgia Tech’ a facsimile of the original copy inclosed.” Letter continued “This was a hop step; which was the vogue in the 19th century, and some of my successors are distorting the idea and maing a symphonic or more modern version. The Alumni Association is very anxious to keep and play the arrangement as originally composed.” No date on original sheet music, but first known date that it was published was in the 1908 Blueprint and it was called “What Causes Whitlock to Blush” and ‘helluva’ was replaced by dashed lines and words were a little bit different I'm a Ramblin’ Wreck from Georgia Tech, and a hell of an Engineer A Helluva, Helluva, Helluva, Helluva, Helluva Engineer Like all the jolly good fellows, I drink my whiskey clear.

  • Collection Policy Rev 7.09
    Georgia Tech Archives and Records Management Collection Development Policy Mission The Georgia Institute of Technology Archives & Records Management collects, preserves, exhibits, and makes available for research institutional archives, manuscripts, personal papers, organizational records, visual materials, rare books, theses, dissertations, sponsored research, and memorabilia. These materials primarily document the history of Georgia Tech and the activities of its faculty, staff, students, and alumni. The department also promotes research and scholarship through collections relating to the academic curriculum, provides a research experience for students in the use of primary sources, and preserves the legal and administrative documents of the Institute. In the latter role, the Georgia Tech Archives administers the Records Management program for the Institute. The Archives always seeks to augment its holdings, through transfer or donation. Collecting Areas Institutional Archives/Personal Papers/Organizational Records The Archives houses the official records of Georgia Tech, which document administrative, research, faculty, student, and staff activities on campus from its establishment in 1885 to the present. The holdings of the Archives include institutional archives, manuscript collections, organizational records, correspondence, monographs, serials, and meeting minutes. Papers of faculty members are a particular collecting strength, and include those of physicist Joseph Ford, historian Melvin Kranzberg, chemical engineering professor Helen Grenga, and sculptor Julian Harris. Papers of staff members, including those of Dean George Griffin and former librarian and novelist Frances Newman, form another important component of the collection. The activities of students are documented in organizational records such as those of the ANAK Society and DramaTech Theatre, as well as in personal papers such as those of Harold A.
