History of the Poly P

Having a common history is a key factor in bringing together a group of people. All acknowledge the shared past and pledge to continue sharing the future as a solid group. Everyone being part of a related set of family lineages would also help but that gets in to areas of incest and taboos so we had better just stick to the history. This is a compilation of several resources on Cal Poly and Running Thunder history. I strongly suggest that you read these as they are very interesting and a bit surprising. For example: Did you know that Amelia Earhart came to visit our campus?
