Title A name given to the resource Map Of Campus - 1926-1927 Handbook of the California Institute of Technology Description An account of the resource Every incoming Caltech undergraduate student receives the latest edition of the campus handbook, the little t. In the 2025–2026 edition, the little t has the “primary purpose of helping frosh get acquainted with the Institute” (Emily et.al “Preface”). However, the little t did not exist in its current form during Caltech’s earliest years. In 1926, it still bore its original name, Handbook of the California Institute of Technology. Even so, the handbook served a similar purpose. One section in particular has remained present from 1926 to 2026 for over a hundred years: the Caltech campus map and directory of buildings. Although the 2025–2026 little t provides only a link to a virtual interactive map, the 1926 handbook includes an engineering-style hand-drawn map, reproduced at the very front of the book. The building blocks are represented in little rectangular boxes, which does not represent the real shape of the infrastructures from an aerial view. They are more served as symbols that tell students where to go. Interestingly, the 1923 Caltech Catalogue has more detailed descriptions of the buildings on the map, but note that some buildings, such as Caltech’s Electrical System, are temporary (Catalogue 44).
