Tech News Collection
http://archives.iit.edu/technews/

The Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) started life in 1893 as the Armour Institute, courtesy of funding from Philip Danforth, Sr. who gave $1 million to start a school that would offer courses in engineering, chemistry, architecture, and library science. In 1940, the school merged with the Lewis Institute, received its current name. This intriguing digital collection offers a look into the school’s history via the Technology News, which has been the student newspaper since 1928. Visitors can browse past issues from that year up to the current day. The Features area is quite interesting, as it includes direct links to April Fools issues and topical coverage of swine flu outbreaks in 1976 and 2009. The April Fools issue from 1942 is quite a pip, as it includes articles titled “Surrealist Ginks Gab” and “Tennis Toddlers Tersely Terrorize Tirty-Tird Toughs.” This has been added to Reference Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
