VPI . . . now VaTech . . . was founded as a land grant college . . .
to serve precisely that constituency.
But it's now an extraordinary, cutting edge, 21st century engineering
school . . . with a liberal arts curriculum that . . . despite our
intense rivalry . . . I must admit . . . ain't too shabby either.
I hear they'll soon have a full-blown medical school there as well.
