Traditions
Hail, hail to old Purdue!
Named after founding benefactor John Purdue in 1869, Purdue University is a land-grant institution with a worldwide reputation for academic and research excellence.
Purdue’s nearly 39,000 students on the West Lafayette campus come from all 50 states and 128 foreign countries. Renowned initially for its programs in agriculture and engineering, Purdue’s academic repertoire now includes more than 200 majors in 12 colleges and schools.
Strides in Space and Sports
A point of pride for Purdue is its legacy as both the “cradle of astronauts and quarterbacks.”
‘The Boilermaker’
Purdue’s “Boilermaker” nickname dates to 1891, when Purdue football players were featured in a Crawfordsville newspaper headline after they soundly defeated Wabash College.
World’s Largest Drum
Still in its original 1921 frame, Purdue’s Big Bass Drum is referred to as the “world’s largest drum.” It stands 10 feet high and is a focal point in Purdue’s “All-American” Marching Band.
Boilermaker Special
Purdue’s offi cial mascot is the Boilermaker Special, and its fi rst rendition of the Special was presented to the student body on September 11, 1940.

Purdue LandmarksBell Tower The Bell Tower, constructed in 1995 and stand-ing 160 feet tall, serves as a reference point to campus visitors. A computerized carillon marks every half hour and plays the Purdue fight song and the alma mater at 12:20 p.m., 5:00 p.m., and 10:00 p.m. A time capsule, which rests at the base of the tower, will be opened in 2095.
Dauch Alumni CenterThe Dick and Sandy Dauch Alumni Center, dedi-cated in 2004, celebrates the history of Purdue
and its alumni, serving as the primary center for more than 410,000 living alumni and 68,000 Alumni Association members. The building’s airy atrium houses a number of exhibits, high-lighting achievements of the University and its alumni.
Elliott Hall of MusicSeating more than 6,000 people, Elliott Hall of Music is one of the larg-est proscenium theaters in the nation. In 1934, Edward C. Elliott, past Purdue president, envisioned a state-of-the-art music hall for the University. It was built during the Great Depression and dedicated on May 3–4, 1940. It hosts many Purdue Convocations events such as Broadway musicals, operas, rock, country, and pop groups, and is home to the Purdue Musical Organiza-tions’ Christmas Show.
Hovde Hall of AdministrationIn 1975, Purdue renamed the Executive Building the Frederick L. Hovde Hall of Administration. During Hovde’s presidency (1946-1971), 80,000 men and women graduated from Purdue and enrollment more than quadrupled. The offices of the President, Provost, and Registrar are housed in Hovde Hall.
Neil Armstrong Hall of EngineeringThe Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering, dedi-cated in 2007, is the flagship of the College of Engineering and provides a welcoming northern gateway to campus. Its atrium highlights significant Purdue engineering achievements — from Neil Armstrong’s first step on the moon to construction of the Golden Gate Bridge. Also featured is a hanging replica of the Apollo 1 re-entry vehicle.

Purdue LibrariesPurdue University Libraries provides scholarly resources and services to faculty, students, staff, and the community. Visitors have access to 2.8 million printed volumes and electronic books, 40,000 electronic and print journals, and 500 electronic databases, in addition to quiet study areas, meeting rooms, and multimedia and computer equipment. There are 14 libraries on campus. For more information, visit www.lib.purdue.edu or call (765) 494-2900.
Purdue Memorial Union Opened in 1924 and completed in 1929, the Purdue Memorial Union (PMU) memorializes the Purdue men and women who died in military service. Students of the Class of 1912 originated the “union” idea as a place to plan and conduct activities. Today, it remains a campus hub with dining, meeting rooms, recreation facilities, and the Union Club Hotel.
Purdue University AirportPurdue University Airport, which opened in 1930, was the first of its kind and remains one of only a few university-owned airports in the na-tion. Including the Niswonger Aviation Technol-ogy Building, which was dedicated in 2009, the facility symbolizes Purdue’s storied relationship with aviation. J. Clifford Turpin, Class of 1908, helped the Wright brothers develop a more
efficient and lighter engine and was the first Purdue graduate to become an aviator. Staff member Amelia Earhart counseled and inspired young women on campus. Neil Armstrong and several of his cohorts honed their flight skills here long before they blasted off to the moon.
Schleman Hall of Student ServicesSchleman Hall, which houses Purdue student services, is named for Helen Schleman, director of the first women’s residence hall in 1934 who later became the University’s dean of women from 1947–68. She championed women’s rights, including terminating the curfew for women students and spearheading a fresh-man conference program for women.
University HallThe only building remaining from the original six-building campus, Uni-versity Hall was dedicated in 1877. Known as “The Main Building,” it cost $35,000 to complete and originally housed the Office of the President, a chapel, and classrooms. It was remodeled in 1961 to house the depart-ment of history.

Research & DiscoveryPurdue is redefining what it means to be a research-driven public university in the 21st century, reinventing how discovery happens and the significant impact it can have on the local, regional, and the national economies.
Purdue is demonstrating what happens when scientists, engineers, and others from across disciplines come together to tackle the world’s grand challenges in life and health sciences, energy, climate change, the environment as well as homeland security, information technology, and science, technology, engineering, and mathe-matics [STEM] education.
Purdue generated a record $342.2 million in sponsored research funding in fiscal 2008-09. Funding sources included private industries, the National Science Foundation, several federal gov-ernment agencies, state and local grants, and sup-port from foreign governments. The top projects:
n A $105 million project funded by the National Science Foundation is spearheading a center that will serve as headquarters for the opera-tions of the George E. Brown Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simu-lation, or NEES.
n A $20 million effort funded by the U.S. Department of Energy created the Center for Direct Catalytic Conversion of Biomass to Biofuels (C3Bio), which is in-vestigating methods to bypass current processes involving biological fermentation, reducing the need for large and expensive biorefineries, and expanding the range of biofuels beyond ethanol.
n A $30 million national center called Visual Analytics for Command, Control and Interoperability Environments, or VACCINE, is developing specialized software to help homeland security and emergency personnel respond to and manage a variety of calamities, from disease outbreaks to economic crises.
