• History & Memorable Moments

BPI was founded in 1883 when Joshua Plaskitt petitioned the Baltimore City authorities to establish a school for instruction in engineering. The original school was named the Baltimore Manual Training School, and its first class was made up of about sixty students, all of whom were male. The official name of the school was changed in the 1890s to the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute. The first principal, Dr. Richard Grady, along with his successor, Lt. John D. Ford, helped to strengthen and develop the curriculum of the school, while it gained even further notoriety during the tenure of Lieutenant William King, the third director of the school, after which King Memorial Hall is named. ^[1]
