A University of Tradition

Purdue Reamer Club

Description

A University of Tradition is a fascinating compilation of history, customs, pictures, and facts about Purdue University from its founding in 1869 to the present day. Covering all aspects of Purdue, from the origin of the nickname of its students and alumni—Boilermakers—to a chronological list of all buildings ever constructed on the campus of West Lafayette, Indiana, this book presents the ultimate insider's guide to one of the world's great universities. It contains a wealth of facts about student, academic, sporting, and campus traditions, as well as biographical information on all the University presidents and other members of Purdue's family, including David Ross, Neil Armstrong, Eliza Fowler, Jack Mollenkopf, Helen Schleman, and Amelia Earhart. A University of Tradition spotlights many items that will spark the memories of any Purdue alumnus or fan. No matter if you were in the "All-American" Marching Band, lived in the Quad, participated in Grand Prix, wrote for the Purdue Exponent, or were on campus when the Boilermakers won the 1967 Rose Bowl, you will appreciate and enjoy this book. The second edition is fully updated for 2012 and includes information about new landmarks, new traditions, and the incoming twelfth president of the University.

PREFACE
ANY COMPREHENSIVE HISTORY OF PURDUE IS increasingly difficult to produce. If you work and study at one of the world’s leading universities, change just becomes a way of life. New buildings are erected, new discoveries made, people come and go. Only one thing is constant—the spirit of Purdue lives on.
As members of the Purdue Reamer Club, the student authors of this book, we are committed to fostering school traditions, to supporting major and Olympic sports, and to aiding in the development of proper school spirit. This
