The Technique - History

History

See also: History of Georgia Tech

A publication known as The Georgia Tech was Georgia Tech's first student newspaper. It was established in 1894 and was the second student publication to be established on campus. The Georgia Tech published a "Commencement Issue" that reviewed sporting events and gave information about each class. The "Commencement Issue" was likely similar to the Technique's Freshman Issue. The Technique was founded in 1911; its first issue was published on November 17, 1911 by editors Albert Blohm and E.A. Turner, and the content revolved around the upcoming rivalry football game against the University of Georgia. The first issue also featured an article by legendary football coach John Heisman.

The Technique has been published weekly ever since, with the exception of a brief period that the paper was published twice weekly. This period ran from January 14, 1948 to September 6, 1956. The Georgia Tech and the Technique operated separately for several years following the Technique's establishment, though the two publications eventually merged in 1916. Several sources claim that The Technique is among a number of student organizations to be founded by the ANAK Society.
