Georgia Tech traditions Numerous Georgia Tech legends and traditions have been established since the school's opening in 1888, some of which have persisted for decades. Over time, the school has grown from a trade school into a large research university, and the traditions reflect that heritage. One of the cherished holdovers from Tech's early years, a steam whistle blows five minutes before the hour, every hour from 7:55 am to 5:55 pm. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, it also blows at twenty-five minutes after the hour. It's for this reason that the faculty newspaper is named "The Whistle".
