In some shameless promotion of an organization I hold dear, since we’ve arrived here in the 1930s, it’s time to talk about the origins of what became the Ramblin’ Reck Club.
I think the most incredible part of the story of the origin of the Yellow Jacket Club is how much of it has to do with the prevailing winds of institute politics and the whims of the national economy.
Circa 1930, from what I can find, Tech fielded nine varsity sports: football, basketball, baseball, track and cross country, swimming, golf, tennis, boxing, and lacrosse.
