This collection contains two physics laboratory notebooks. One is from September of 1925, for the course Physics 15, a Junior-level course for Electrical Engineering majors and Co-op students, such as Jennings. The other is from February 1928, and Physics 14 and 31 are also junior-level courses. The notebook from 1925 does not contain information on its owner, but the notebook from 1928 is labelled with "Jennings. T.W., Ga. Tech., Atlanta, Ga. ~ Georgia School of Technology." Both contain calculations, instructions, and diagrams for physics problems and experiments.
The collection also contains a student ticket booklet for all Georgia Tech home football and basketball games for the school year of 1927-1928, which also doubles as the student's on-campus YMCA membership card. The booklet is marked with a faded "T.W. Jennings." Many of the football tickets have been removed from the booklet, while many of the basketball tickets remain.
Thomas Whitfield Jennings was born on December 29, 1903. He lived in Augusta, Georgia until entering the Georgia School (now Institute) of Technology in 1924. He studied Civil Engineering under the Co-operative Plan, and graduated from Georgia Tech in 1930 with a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering. He later moved to Tallahassee, Florida, where he died on July 14, 1987 at the age of 83.
A print copy of this finding aid is available in the Georgia Tech Archives reading room.
