PRIDE PREVAILS
TRADITIONS & FACTS
HAIL, HAIL TO OLD PURDUE! Purdues 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, Purdues
academic repertoire now includes 200+ majors and more than 70 masters
and doctoral programs in 11 colleges and schools. In addition, we have more
than 1,000 student organizations.
BOILERMAKER
Purdues Boilermaker nickname dates to 1891, when Purdue
football players were featured in a Crawfordsville newspaper
headline after they soundly defeated Wabash College.
HAIL PURDUE
While University events are the most likely place for
Boilermakers to join in a chorus of Purdues official fight song,
its not uncommon to hear it somewhere on campus every day.
The song was composed in 1912.
BOILERMAKER SPECIAL
Purdues 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 PETE
Pete is our unofficial mascot, and is one of the most
recognized characters in NCAA sports. Though hes
undergone a few makeovers, youll usually see him
with trademark helmet and hammer, ready to cheer
the Boilermakers on to victory.
AN INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY
Purdue 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 BEYOND

Twenty-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.

for Purdue student-athletes.

in all of college football. Capacity is 57,236.

Drew and Brittany Brees Student-Athlete Academic Center.
ALEXANDER FIELD
1350 McCormick Road
Since its first game in 2013, Alexander Field has earned the
reputation as one of the top collegiate baseball stadiums in
the nation. It is named in honor of the late John and Anna
Margaret Ross Alexander, parents of Dave Alexander, who
provided the lead gift for the project. Dave Alexander was
Purdue baseball coach from 1978 to 1991.

ensured it will be there for many years to come. The courthouse
