Virginia Tech Fight Song

Virginia Tech's most popular fight song Tech Triumph was composed in 1919 by Wilfred P. Maddux (class of 1920) and Mattie Eppes (Boggs).
The song was first performed on Saturday, November 1, 1919, at the Fair Grounds in Lynchburg, before the football game between V.P.I. and Washington and Lee University. According to the report in the Nov. 5, 1919, issue of The Virginia Tech, there were problems with obtaining uniforms for the entire Corps, so only the junior and senior classes, along with the band, were able to attend the game. The cadets arrived by train in Lynchburg at 11:30 a.m. and headed to the Carroll Hotel, which was V.P.I. headquarters. At 1 p.m., the cadets paraded through the streets of Lynchburg, then headed to the car barn to board street cars for the trip to the Fair Grounds.
