| May 9, 2022 at 21:58 | comment | added | Stuart F | Tech has a lot of different meanings. The OED says for a Technical College etc is the oldest, late 19th century. But that's maybe not the same as tech for technology? | |

We expect you to do your own research and report what you find in your question so we don't all repeat your research. Case Western's college rag was called Case Tech in 1903. Cal Tech may have beat them to it, but some of the references are a bit ambiguous. | |
