Just prior to WWII one of my uncles attended Baltimore Polytechnic Institute. He then went into the US Army Air Corps. After the war he went on to graduate at the top of his class at Georgia Tech, majoring in civil engineering. A cousin also was a student there and afterwards graduated with a degree in electrical engineering from Cornell. Both enjoyed highly successful careers. Must have been a wonderful school in those days!
