Techmila
From RITpedia
Techmila was RIT's yearbook from 1912-1992.
History
For the first two years of printing, the name of the yearbook was in flux. Its first year, it was called The MI Book; the second year it was called The Annual. For the next 31 years, until RAMI changed its name to RIT, it was titled Ramikin. The title served as a pun and reference to the ramekins used by the Domestic Science department at the time, and a statement that it was a record of the kin of RAMI.
In 1945, when RIT adopted its current name, the editorial staff chose to change Ramikin's name to Techmila (from the Greek words Technikos Milos, lit. "Tech Speaks") and dedicated its 1944-1945 volume to the advancement of technology.

Editions
The Wallace Library has copies of all volumes of Techmila available for student use, but because the books are extremely rare they do not circulate.
