About Lyman Hall (academic)
- Lyman Hall (February 18, 1859 – August 16, 1905) was a professor and president of the Georgia School of Technology (now called the Georgia Institute of Technology, commonly referred to as Georgia Tech).
- He is perhaps best known for bringing what is now the School of Materials Science & Engineering to Georgia Tech.
- Hall's administration also introduced degrees in electrical engineering and civil engineering in December 1896, textile engineering in February 1899, and engineering chemistry in January 1901.
- Hall died in 1905, reportedly due to the stress of fundraising for a new chemistry building which now bears his name.
