Dodge established the “Northern Indiana Normal School” - Dodge was employed as telegrapher of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago Railroad and saw opportunity in better educating future telegraphers. Reorganized by Dodge and F. R. Lunbeck in 1891, the school flourished and became the largest telegraph and railway instruction institution in the United States. Later it became known as “The Dodge Institute of Telegraphy.” As radio entered the scene, training in "wireless" communication was added to the curriculum of the institute. Dr. J. B. Hershman purchased the “Dodge Institute” in 1939. He renamed it "Valparaiso Technical Institute" in 1944. GATHERING We are having a "2014 Valpo Tech Gathering" Saturday August 16, 2014.
