Purdue at 150: A Visual History of Indiana's Land-Grant University
by David M. Hovde, Adriana Harmeyer, Neal Harmeyer, and Sammie L.
Morris tells Purdue's story through rare images, artifacts, and
words. Authors culled decades of student papers, from scrapbooks,
yearbooks, letters, and newspapers to historical photographs and
memorabilia preserved in the Purdue University Libraries Virginia
Kelly Karnes Archives and Special Collections. Many of the images
and artifacts included have never been published, presenting a
unique history of Purdue University from the student perspective.
Purdue at 150 is organized by decade, presenting a scrapbook-like
experience of viewing over 400 rare photographs, documents, and
artifacts alongside critical contextual information. Each chapter
provides a decadal historical sketch of Purdue University, offering
insight into the institution's unique culture while incorporating
campus responses to major national events such as world wars and
the Great Depression. Spotlight sections highlight Purdue firsts,
including the first graduates of programs, the growth and
development of the international student population at Purdue, the
creation of significant student organizations, and the foundations
of both old and new campus traditions. This curated journey through
the personal experiences,spaces, and events of Purdue's history not
only celebrates major accomplishments and acknowledges the
contributions Purdue has made to society, but it also explores some
of the challenges and tragedies that shaped Indiana's land-grant
university. As a result, Purdueat 150 connects the identity and
character of the University of 1869 to the University of 2019 and
beyond, as told through the stories of its students. Running
throughout this journey is the enduring vision of the land-grant
institution and its impact on society, as seen through the material
culture of Boiler makers from around the world.
