George P. Burdell Fanclub Tee

George P. Burdell, Georgia Tech’s most famous alum, was born in 1927 when William Edgar Smith was accidentally sent two enrollment forms and decided to pull a little prank. After being accepted and passing all his classes, the completely fabricated George P. Burdell graduated with a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering. Through the years, the prank has lived on with George earning a varsity letter in Tech Basketball, serving on the board of directors at MAD Magazine, and can be found signed up for most events on campus.
