research, thereby enhancing its position of national prominence. Enrollment has grown from the first class in 1888-129 mechanical engineering students, all but one from Georgia—to almost eleven thousand stu- dents from every state and eighty countries. Today, the members of this growing student community work toward undergraduate and graduate degrees in Tech's twenty-one schools and colleges. Men and women who graduate from Tech influence the worlds of architecture, engineering, management, and science; their alumni support, consistently among the most substantial in the nation, ensures that Tech students will continue to receive the high level of technical skill that will prepare them to enter the future con- fidently and competently. The Institute's primary goal traditionally has been to provide superlative instruction for capable and intelligent students.
