Purdue University, located
in West
Lafayette
, Indiana
, U.S.
, is the flagship
university of the six campuses within the
Purdue University
System. Purdue was founded on May 6, 1869, as a
land-grant university when the
Indiana General Assembly,
taking advantage of the Morrill Act, accepted a
donation of land and money from Lafayette
businessman John Purdue
to establish a college of science, technology, and agriculture in
his name. The first classes were held on September 16, 1874,
with three buildings, six instructors, and 39 students. Today,
Purdue enrolls the second largest student body of any university in
Indiana and has one of the largest
international student populations of
any public university in the United States. The university's
Discovery Park and
Purdue Research
Park are home to hundreds of medical, biotechnology, and
nanotechnology laboratories and companies. Purdue was the first
university globally to have ever offered an
aeronautics program .
Purdue offers both
undergraduate and
graduate programs in over 200
major areas of study.
The university has
been influential in America's history
of aviation, having established the first college credit offered in flight training, the first four-year
bachelor's degree in aviation, and the first university airport (Purdue University Airport
). In the mid-20th century, Purdue's aviation
program expanded to encompass advanced
spaceflight technology giving rise to Purdue's
nickname,
Cradle of Astronauts. Twenty-two of Purdue's
graduates are
astronauts, including
Gus Grissom (one of the original
Mercury 7 astronauts),
Neil Armstrong (the first person to walk on
the moon), and
Eugene Cernan (the most
recent person to walk on the moon).
History
Founding and early years
John Purdue.
In 1865, the
Indiana General
Assembly took advantage of the
Morrill
Act, and began plans to establish an institution with a strong
focus on engineering.
John Purdue, a
Lafayette business leader and
philanthropist (buried at Purdue), sought to
help establish a "land grant" college in Indiana.
The state of Indiana
received a gift of $150,000 from John Purdue, along with $50,000
from Tippecanoe
County
, and 150 acres (0.6 km²) of land from
Lafayette residents in support of the project. On May 6, 1869, it was
decided that the college would be founded near the city of Lafayette and legislators established the institution as
Purdue University, in the name of the institution’s principal
benefactor.
Classes first began at Purdue on September 16, 1874 with three
buildings, six instructors, and 39 students. Purdue issued its
first degree, a Bachelor of Science in
chemistry, in 1875. The first female students were
admitted to the university in the fall of the same year..
The 20th century - Aviation and Aeronautics
Purdue University is well known for its diverse majors in
aerospace. It is one of the highest rated and
competitive aeronautical universities in the world, even surpassing
the
United States Air
Force Academy, a military training institution backed by the
United States Air Force.
Purdue was the first university in the world to award a four-year
bachelor's degree in aviation. Purdue is globally recognized today
as one of the top flight schools in the world.
The school is
currently working with NASA
and ICAO
to develop
the next generation air traffic
control system that will eventually replace current technology
around the world. The school is backed by numerous
corporations such as
Boeing,
Lockheed Martin and
Pratt & Whitney, and is certified by
the
Federal Aviation
Administration for its instruction and certification of
air traffic control trainees. In
addition, the school is one of the only institutions in the country
that offers
AAAE certification for the
management of airports.
J. Clifford Turpin, from the class of 1908, was the first Purdue
graduate to become an aviator, and received flight instruction from
Orville Wright. In 1919 George W.
Haskins became the first alumnus to land an aircraft on
campus.
In 1930
Purdue became the first university in the country to offer college
credit for flight training, and later became the first university
to open its own airport, the Purdue University Airport. Famed aviator
Amelia Earhart came to Purdue in 1935 and
served as a "Counselor on Careers for Women," a staff position she
held until her disappearance in 1937. Purdue played a meaningful
role in Earhart's ill-fated "Flying Laboratory" project, providing
funds for the
Lockheed L-10
Electra aircraft she intended to fly around the world. Purdue's
libraries maintain an extensive Earhart collection, which is still
studied today by those seeking to solve the mystery of her
disappearance. Purdue later named a residence hall in her honor,
which is lined with Earhart pictures and articles.
Today, Purdue University's Aviation Flight Technology Program is
one of the best nationwide. Annually, only 60 students are admitted
into this exclusive and selective program. No other University has
a corporate flight department built into the University to provide
private aircraft for faculty and staff. Every aviation flight
student at Purdue has the opportunity to pilot one of the 3
corporate aircraft Purdue has, flying VIPs and other dignitaries
around the nation.
Over the past ten years, Purdue’s School of Aeronautics and
Astronautics has awarded more aerospace engineering degrees than
any other institution in the country, issuing 6% of all
undergraduate degrees and 7% of all Ph.D. degrees. These alumni
have led significant advances in research and development of
aerospace technology, headed major corporations and government
agencies, and have established an amazing record for exploration of
space.
Campus
Purdue's Bell Tower
Purdue Mall
The Purdue Mall, also known as the Engineering Mall, is the central
quad of Purdue University.
The most prominent feature of the Purdue Mall
is the Water Sculpture
Fountain
, and also features the Frederick L. Hovde Hall of Administration.
Bell Tower
The Purdue Bell Tower was constructed in 1995 through a gift from
the class of 1948.
It is considered an icon of the university
and can be found on many Purdue logos and those of the cities of
West Lafayette,
Indiana and Lafayette, Indiana.
Engineering Fountain
The Engineering Fountain is centrally located in the Purdue Mall.
Designed by Robert Youngman, the fountain was a gift from the class
of 1939. The fountain was dedicated in 1989. The fountain stands
tall and is made of 228 tons of concrete. It jets 588 gallons of
water per minute into the air. Colored lights illuminate the water
during the evening. Originally built with an open jet shooting
straight up into the air, students soon made the tradition of
running through the fountain on warm days. However, in 2001 an
eight foot tall protective metal cylinder was constructed around
the water jet to protect children.
University Hall from the Memorial
Mall
Memorial Mall
The Purdue Memorial Mall is located south of the Purdue Mall and is
generally considered the older part of campus. A popular meeting
place for students, the Memorial Mall is surrounded by the Stewart
Student Center, University Hall (the oldest building on campus),
and the Class of 1950's Lecture Hall. It features the Hello Walk,
and also contains
John Purdue's
gravesite.
Memorial Gymnasium/Felix Haas Hall
The Memorial Gymnasium (now named Felix Haas Hall) was constructed
in 1909 in memory of the 17 Purdue University football players,
coaches, alumni, and fans who perished in the
Purdue Wreck railroad accident on October 31,
1903. In 1985 the building was renovated with offices and
classrooms for the Computer Science department. In 2006, the
building was renamed in honor of Felix Haas. A memorial plaque
remains affixed to the exterior of the building in honor of those
who died in 1903. The building is now shared by the Computer
Science and Statistics departments.
University Hall
University Hall is the only building remaining from the original
six-building campus. Construction began in 1871, where the building
was known as "The Main Building". The building was dedicated in
1877 and the project cost $35,000 to complete. University Hall
originally housed the office of the president, a chapel, and
classrooms, but was remodeled in 1961 to house only the department
of history. At the request of
John
Purdue, he was buried in the Memorial Mall, directly across
from the main entrance of University Hall.
Cary Quadrangle
Cary Quadrangle South Building looking
North
First known as Cary Hall, Cary Quadrangle opened in 1928 as a men's
dormitory. Cary Quadrangle now has five buildings (south, east,
west, northeast, and northwest), surrounding the open courtyard,
known as Spitzer Court. In addition, the south/southeast building
contains the Cary Knight Spot Grill.
Considered the "flagship" of Purdue University residences, Cary
Quadrangle is still one of the largest all-male housing units in
the country. In 2000, Cary Quadrangle began a $43.5 Million
renovation plan.
Windsor Residence Halls
Consisting of five individual buildings (Duhme, Shealy, Wood,
Warren and Vawter), Windsor Halls is the oldest all-women's
residence hall complex at Purdue. Each individual building is
designed so that each room of every hall would receive sunlight at
some point in the day. There is also a student-accessible tunnel
that connects Duhme, Shealy, Wood, Warren and Vawter.
- Duhme Hall, originally 'South Hall,' was opened in 1934 and
named after Ophelia Duhme.
- Shealy Hall, originally 'North Hall,' was opened in 1937 and
named after Frances Shealy.
- Wood Hall was opened in 1939 and named after Elizabeth
Wood.
- Warren Hall, originally 'D Hall,' was opened in 1951 and named
after Martha Warren.
- Vawter Hall, originally 'E Hall,' was also opened in 1951, and
is named after Everette Vawter.
Edward C. Elliott Hall of Music
Edward C.
The Edward C. Elliott Hall of Music has a
seating capacity of 6,025 and is one of the
largest
proscenium theaters in the world.
The facility is named after Edward C. Elliott (1874-1960), who
served as President of Purdue University from 1922-1945.
Purdue's Student Concert Committee (SCC) often elects and invites
various big name entertainment. Purdue students and faculty are
able to purchase tickets a day before the tickets are offered to
the general public. They also receive a student and faculty
discount. The auditorium offers seating on a main level and on dual
balconies.
Slayter Center of Performing Arts
The Slayter Center of Performing Arts is an outdoor concert band
shell completed in 1964 and dedicated May 1, 1965. The facility was
a gift from
Games Slayter and
his wife Marie.
The natural
amphitheater created by
"Slayter Hill" can hold an estimated 20,000 people.
Architect Joseph
Baker used Stonehenge
in England
as a basis for the concept of Slayter
Center. The 200-ton concrete roof is suspended from a tall
steel tripod by stainless steel cables. The stage can seat a 100+
player orchestra. Below the stage are a rehearsal room, dressing
rooms and storage facilities. "Slayter Hill" is also more popularly
used in the winter time as a large sledding hill for students when
it snows.
Mackey Arena
Mackey Arena
Mackey Arena is a 14,123-seat multi-purpose
arena that opened in 1967. It is home to the
Purdue Boilermakers basketball team. It is named after Purdue
alumnus and long time athletic director Guy
"Red" Mackey.
Ross-Ade Stadium
Ross-Ade Stadium is a
stadium primarily used
for
American football, and is the
home field of the Purdue Boilermakers. The stadium is named for
David E. Ross and
George Ade, the
principal benefactors. Ross-Ade Stadium opened on November 22, 1924
with a
seating capacity of 13,500
and standing room for an additional 5,000 people. A series of
additions and renovations pushed the seating capacity to 70,000. In
2001 Purdue began a massive $70 million dollar renovation, which
led to a reduced seating capacity of 62,500. Ross Ade has never
been fitted with permanent lights, so temporary lights are used for
all night games.
Academics
Purdue offers more than 200 options for major areas of study at the
West Lafayette campus alone, and a variety of options for minors.
Purdue is organized into eight colleges and schools contained
within larger colleges; the two exceptions are the
Krannert School of Management
and the
School of
Veterinary Medicine. These two academic units retained their
"school" status during a university-wide renaming policy in 2004
and 2005 in deference to national
professional school naming
conventions.
Faculty
The original faculty of six in 1874 has grown to 2,563 tenure and
tenure-track faculty in the Purdue Statewide System by Fall 2007
totals. The number of faculty and staff members system-wide is
18,872. The current faculty includes scholars such as

funding during the 2007-08 fiscal year with participation from
National Science
Foundation, National Aeronautics and Space
Administration
, and the U.S. departments of Agriculture
, Defense
, Energy, and Health and
Human Services.
Purdue University established the
Discovery Park to bring innovation
through multidisciplinary action. In all of the eleven centers of
Discovery Park, ranging from entrepreneurship to energy and
advanced manufacturing, research projects reflect a large economic
impact and address global challenges. Purdue University's
nanotechnology research program, built around the new Birck
Nanotechnology Center in Discovery Park, ranks among the best in
the nation.
The
Purdue Research Park which
opened in 1961 was developed by Purdue Research Foundation which is
a private, nonprofit foundation created to assist Purdue. The park
is focused on companies operating in the arenas of life sciences,
homeland security, engineering, advanced manufacturing and
information technology. It provides an interactive environment for
experienced Purdue researchers and private business and high-tech
industry. It currently employs more than 3,000 people in 155
companies, including 90 technology-based firms. The Purdue Research
Park was ranked first by the Association of University Research
Parks in 2004.
An * indicates a school existing independently of a larger
college.
Administration
The
University President,
appointed by the
Board of
Trustees, is the
chief
administrative officer of the university. The office of the
president oversees admission and registration, student conduct and
counseling, the administration and scheduling of classes and space,
the administration of student athletics and organized
extracurricular activities, the libraries, the appointment of the
faculty and conditions of their employment, the appointment of all
non-faculty employees and the conditions of employment, the general

number of vice presidents with oversight over specific university
operations, and the satellite campus chancellors.
Presidents
Sustainability
Purdue's Sustainability Council, composed of University
administrators and professors, meets monthly to discuss
environmental issues and sustainability initiatives at Purdue. The
University is currently constructing its first
LEED Certified
building in an addition to the Mechanical Engineering building,
which is to be completed in Spring 2011. The school is also in the
process of developing an arboretum on campus. In addition, a system
has been set up to display live data detailing current energy
production at the campus utility plant. The school holds an annual
"Green Week" each fall, an effort to engage the Purdue community
with issues relating to environmental sustainability.
Student life
Student body
Graduation Ceremony
The
Purdue student body is composed primarily of students from Indiana. In
2006-07, 23,086 out of a total of 39,288 students enrolled were
Indiana residents. As of 2007, the racial diversity of the
undergraduate student body was 86.9%
white, 5.51%
Asian,
3.53%
African American, and 2.75%
Hispanic. Of these students, 41.2% are
female. Domestic minorities constitute a total of 15.4% in the
Graduate student body population of which 38.5% are female. The
largest minority (six percent of the full-time student body) is
international, representing 123
countries. In graduate student population, non-residents occupy an
overwhelming majority, about 78%. Almost all undergraduates and
about 70% of the graduate student population attend
full-time.
Housing
Purdue University operates fifteen separate
residence halls for its undergraduate and
graduate students, including: Cary Quadrangle, Earhart Hall, First
Street Towers, Harrison Hall, Hawkins Hall, Hillenbrand Hall,
Hilltop Apartments, McCutcheon Hall, Meredith Hall, Owen Hall,
Purdue Village, Shreve Hall, Tarkington Hall, Wiley Hall, and
Windsor Halls. Purdue recently opened a new residence hall for
upperclassmen.
There are 12
cooperative houses at
Purdue (5 men's houses and 7 women's houses). The men's houses
include Circle Pines, Fairway, Marwood, Chauncey, and Gemini. The
women's houses include Ann Tweedale, Glenwood, Twin Pines, Maclure,
Stewart, Devonshire, and Shoemaker. All cooperative houses are
governed under the Purdue Cooperative Council which is led by
Purdue University students who live in these houses. The
cooperative system claims that it allows for a much lower cost of
living than other types of housing, as the members take an active
role in sharing chores and cooking all meals themselves, as opposed
to hiring out cleaning and cooking staff.
Purdue University hosts the nation's third largest
Greek community, with
approximately 5,000 students participating in one of the 46 men's
fraternities or 29 women's sororities. Several of Purdue's most
distinguished graduates are members of fraternities and
sororities.
Media
The
Purdue Exponent, an
independent
student newspaper, has
the largest circulation of any Indiana college newspaper, with a
daily circulation of 17,500 copies during the spring and fall
semesters.
The "Movie Tribute Show with Erik Mygrant" was created in a small
television studio (now known as the Erik Mygrant Studio) on campus
in 1999.
WBAA is a
radio
station owned by Purdue University. The station operates on the
AM frequency of 920 kHz and FM frequency of 101.3 MHz.
Its
studios are in the Edward C.
Elliott Hall of Music on the Purdue campus, and the transmitters are
located in Lafayette,
Indiana. WBAA is the longest continuously-operating
radio station in Indiana, having been licensed on April 4, 1922.
WBAA airs
NPR and local
news/talk programming during the day. Overnight, the AM station
airs
jazz while the FM station airs
classical music.
There are also a few
student radio
stations on campus. Currently, three operate from
residence halls, broadcasting via internet
only; WCCR from Cary Quadrangle (not to be confused with the
current WCCR FM or WCCR-LP stations in other states), WILY from
Wiley Hall, and a most recent addition WHHR from Harrison Hall. A
fourth student station, the Purdue Student Radio club operates from
the
Purdue Memorial Union and
broadcasts on low power AM in addition to internet streaming.
W9YB is the
callsign of the
Amateur Radio Club at Purdue University.
W9YB also holds the self declared title of having one of the
largest and most active collegiate
amateur
radio stations in the country. W9YB actively participates in
emergency management for the
Tippecanoe County area and
maintains ready status with its members in skills to assist.
Athletics
Purdue is home to 18 Division I/I-A
NCAA teams
including football, basketball, cross country, tennis, wrestling,
golf, volleyball and others. Purdue is a founding member of the
Big Ten Conference, and played a
central role in its creation.
Traditional rivals include Big Ten
colleagues the Indiana
Hoosiers, the
Illinois
Fighting
Illini, and the Notre Dame
Fighting Irish from
the Big East Conference
(football program independent, however). The Boilermakers
battle the Hoosiers on the football field each year to win the
Old Oaken
Bucket
. Purdue leads the series, first played in
1925, 68-36-6.
The Boilermaker men's and women's basketball teams have won more
Big Ten Championships than any other conference school, with 27
conference banners, including a league-leading 21 for the men’s
team. Purdue men's basketball has an all-time winning record
against all Big Ten schools.
The Boilermaker football team enjoyed a significant resurgence
under the leadership of head coach
Joe
Tiller. Tiller, who currently holds the coaching record for the
most wins at Purdue, announced his retirement following the 2008
season, and was replaced by Coach Danny Hope.
Libraries
The Purdue University Library system has 2.8 million printed
volumes and electronic books. Additionally, it holds 40,000
electronic journals. The special collections include papers from
Neil Armstrong,
Eugene Cernan,
Amelia Earhart,
Herbert C. Brown, and
George
Ade.
Traditions and legends
Boilermakers
Purdue Pete - one of the most
recognized symbols of Purdue University
The moniker for the University's athletics teams has become a
popular reference for all things Purdue. A reporter first used the
name in 1891 to describe the year's winning football team and
quickly gained approval from students.
Mascots, logos, and colors
In the more than 130 years since the founding of the university,
several mascots have emerged in support of the Boilermaker athletic
teams, including: The
Boilermaker
Special,
Purdue Pete, and more
recently, Rowdy.
The
Boilermaker Special has been
the official mascot of Purdue University since 1940. Designed to
look like a train locomotive, the Special was originally designed
to demonstrate Purdue's engineering programs and is maintained by
the members of the Purdue Reamer Club.
As the unofficial mascot of Purdue Athletics,
Purdue Pete is one of the most recognized
symbols of Purdue University.
Purdue University adopted its school colors,
Old Gold and Black, in the fall of 1887. Members of
Purdue's first football team in 1887 felt that the squad should be
distinguished by certain colors, and since Princeton was at the
time the most successful gridiron unit, its colors were considered.
Though actually orange and black, the Princeton colors were known
by many as yellow and black. Purdue gridders opted for old gold
over yellow, kept the black, and began flying the colors that
endure today.
University Seal
The official seal of Purdue was officially inaugurated during the
University's centennial in 1969. The seal, approved by the Board of
Trustees, was designed by Prof. Al Gowan, formerly at Purdue. It
replaced one that had been in use for 73 years, but was never
officially accepted by the board.
In medieval heraldry, a griffin symbolized strength, and Abby P.
Lytle used it in her 1895 design for a Purdue seal. When Professor
Gowan redesigned the seal, he retained the griffin symbol to
continue identification with the older, unofficial seal. As on the
older seal, the words "Purdue University
are set in the
typeface Uncial. The three-part shield indicates three
stated aims of the University: education, research, and service,
replacing the words Science, Technology, and Agriculture on the
earlier version.
School song
The official
fight song of Purdue
University, "
Hail Purdue!," was
composed in 1912 by alumni Edward Wotawa (music) and James Morrison
(lyrics) as the "Purdue War Song". "Hail Purdue" was copyrighted in
1913 and dedicated to the
Varsity Glee Club.
The lyrics of the first verse and Chorus of "Hail Purdue" are as
follows:
To your call once more we rally,
Alma Mater, hear our praise;
Where the Wabash spreads its valley,
Filled with joy our voices raise.
From the sky in swelling echoes
Come the cheers that tell the tale
Of your vic'tries and your heroes,Hail Purdue! We sing all
Hail!
Hail Hail to Old Purdue!
All Hail to our Old Gold and Black!
Hail, Hail to Old Purdue!
Our friendship may she never lack,
Ever grateful ever true,
Thus we raise our song anew,
Of the days we spent with you
All Hail our own Purdue.
Grand Prix
This 50-mile, 160-lap go-kart race is "The Greatest Spectacle in
College Racing" and wraps up Gala Week each year. All 33
participating karts are made from scratch by student teams. The
event has been raising money for student scholarships since it
began in 1958. It was created as a counter-part to Indiana
University's
Little 500.
Old Oaken Bucket
Found on
a farm in southern Indiana, the oaken
bucket is one of the oldest football trophies in the nation.
The winner of the annual Purdue vs.
Indiana University American football game gets to add a
bronze "P" or "I" chain link and keep the trophy until the next
face-off. Ironically, the first competition in 1925 led to a 0-0
tie, resulting in the first link on the chain being an "IP." Purdue
currently leads the all time series at 55-26-3.
Alumni
Purdue University has long been associated with accomplished and
distinguished students and faculty. Purdue alumni/alumnae have
headed corporations, held federal offices, founded television
networks, and flown through space. Purdue’s distinguished faculty
have won
Nobel prizes, solved
long-standing riddles in science, headed government agencies, and
received countless awards. Some alumni of Purdue include: Pulitzer
prize-winning author
Booth
Tarkington, the legendary and iconic NCAA Champion baseketball
coach
John Wooden, popcorn specialist
Orville Redenbacher, founder and
CEO of C-Span
Brian Lamb, pioneer of
robotics and remote control technology
Thomas B. Sheridan, Pulitzer prize-winning
cartoonist
John T. McCutcheon, actor
George Peppard, Chinese nationalist
Sun Liren, Chinese physical scientist
Deng Jiaxian and NFL Football Hall of Fame
quarterback
Bob Griese.
Purdue
alumni/alumnae have an especially strong relationship with NASA. All
together, Purdue has produced 22 astronauts, including
Gus Grissom, the first man to return to space,
Neil Armstrong, the first man to have
walked on the moon, and
Eugene Cernan,
the most recent man to do so. Over one third of all of NASA's
manned space missions have had at least one Purdue graduate as a
crew member. These individuals have led significant advances in
research and development of aerospace technology and established an
amazing record for exploration of space.
The Dauch Alumni Center acts as a showcase for the university's
alumni and alumnae. The center houses the offices of the Purdue
Alumni Association and University Development. It is a destination
and gathering area for the Purdue Alumni Association’s 68,000
members and more than 325,000 living alumni/alumnae.
