No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

In 1918, war and a flu pandemic upended the world of sports. While the war forced the World Series between the Chicago Cubs and the Boston Red Sox, pictured, to be moved from October to September, the event itself likely helped spread the disease throughout the city of Boston, according to Johnny Smith, associate professor in the School of History and Sociology. He has co-authored a new book on the era called "War Fever"
