2004: RIT 175: Rochester and Its Institute
December 31, 2014
RIT 175 was produced in partnership with local PBS Affiliate, WXXI, to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the founding of RIT.
It traces the history from when the Rochester Atheneum was formed in 1829, through consolidation with The Mechanics Institute in 1887 to its current maturation as the ninth largest private university in America. It also provides a snapshot of important programs and initiatives of the university in that anniversary year of 2004.
