In 1927, a young man by the name of George P. Burdell enrolled at Georgia Tech. Since then, he’s gone on to a few notable accomplishments: multiple degrees from the Institute, military service, serving on Mad magazine’s board of directors and being cheated out of Time magazine’s 2001 Person of the Year award, to name a few.
To celebrate the 85th anniversary of his enrollment, the Alumni Association’s Living History program has installed an exhibit on Mr. Burdell in the Alumni House. For those who can’t make it to see the exhibit, here are a few of the items on display.
