Georgia Tech has always been a place of innovation at the crossroads of technology and liberal arts, as embodied by the very men who were key in its founding:

  • Nathaniel Edwin Harris, a social scientist, an attorney and Georgia governor, who understood the need for knowledge and leadership in support of public policymaking, especially regarding more progressive ways to determine economic impact.
  • Henry Grady, a humanist, journalist and editor of the Atlanta Journal Constitution, a very astute socio-political and economic critique, with a vision of the linkages between technology and human progress.
