PRINCETON REVIEW
MM-14-5209-Visitors-Guide.indd 11 4/1/15 3:41 PM
BOILERMAKERPurdue’s “Boilermaker” nickname dates to 1891, when Purdue football players were featured in a Crawfordsville newspaper headline after they soundly defeated Wabash College.
HAIL PURDUEWhile University events are the most likely place for Boilermakers to join in a chorus of Purdue’s official fight song, it’s not uncommon to hear it somewhere on campus every day. The song was composed in 1912.
BOILERMAKER SPECIALPurdue’s official mascot is the Boilermaker Special train, and its first rendition of the Special was presented to the student body on Sept. 11, 1940.
PURDUE PETEPete is our unofficial mascot, and is one of the most recognized characters in NCAA sports. Though he’s undergone a few makeovers, you’ll usually see him with trademark helmet and hammer, ready to cheer the Boilermakers on to victory.
AN INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITYPurdue has about 4,900 undergraduate international students, with approximately 3,700 at the graduate and professional level. More than 20 percent of the faculty were born outside of the United States.
TO INFINITY AND BEYONDTwenty-three Purdue graduates have been selected for space travel, including the first and last astronauts to walk on the moon. Purdue alumni have flown on about 35 percent of all U.S. shuttle flights since 1981.
HAIL, HAIL TO OLD PURDUE! Purdue’s 38,000 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 200+ majors and more than 70 master’s and doctoral programs in 11 colleges and schools. In addition, we have more than 1,000 student organizations.
