IIT Archives
 

Reflection and Revelation   

 

Do the Math   
How can a school that is only 59 years old have over 100 yearbooks? Lewis Institute and Armour Institute of Technology merged in 1940 to create Illinois Institute of Technology, but together, Lewis and Armour brought almost 80 years of education – and yearbooks – with them to the "marriage." Armour opened in 1893, and its first class graduated in 1898. Lewis’ first yearbook is dated 1903.

So how many “student annuals” do we have in the IIT Archives in total?
   
 AIT 1898 to 1940 + 43
 No books were published in 1903, 1913, or 1935 -   3
 Lewis 1903 to 1940 + 37
 No book was published in 1919 -   1
 IIT 1941 to 1998 + 58
 Two books were published in 1945  +   1 
 No book was published in 1971  -    1 
 1979 to 1998 publication ceased  -  19
 1987 – one year revival  +   1
TOTAL YEARBOOKS   116
