Purdue University’s Calumet Campus marked an “historic first’? on Monday afternoon, June 5, 1967. More than 200 residents of northern Indiana and [Illinois received degrees or certificates at the first baccalaureate commencement of this Purdue Campus. Dr. Frederick L. Hovde, President of Purdue University, addressed the candidates by reviewing the birth and development of the Calumet Campus. He also paid tribute to the late E. D. Anderson, a Purdue engineering graduate who lived and worked in the Hammond area and served on Purdue’s Board of Trustees from 1951 to 1956. “What was done here could not have been done without his drive, vision and help,” stated Dr. Hovde. “Tf he could be here with us today, I am sure that it would be one of the proudest moments of his life of a service to the community in which he made his home.” After conferring the degrees, Dr. Hovde directed his remarks to the Class of 1967. He stressed that all men seek happiness and self-fulfillment during their lifetime and they can achieve such goals only by helping others. “There may be some people in this world who are completely selfish, thinking only of themselves, but they can’t possibly be happy and they don’t have any friends. The giving of your help and service to those with whom you live and work is the only way people can live together in this or any other society.” The graduates of Purdue University’s Calumet Campus have sought happiness at the Campus by helping others; it is assured they will be successful now that they have left.
