1969 marked an important step forward in the development of Pur- due University Calumet Campus with the dedication of the Techno- logy Building to E.D. Anderson, Trustee of Purdue University. The opening of this, the first building on the campus entirely separate from the original Calumet Building, signaled the beginning of growth from one building into an entire campus. But the usefulness of an aca- demic year is not measured only by buildings erected. A year must be measured by mental maturity, by a better understanding of the world, by development of the campus community. 1969 was an important year for all associated with Purdue Universi- ty Calumet Campus. Let us in these pages examine the development of the campus and review this signifi- cant year in the life of the campus community. Purdue Calumet was founded in 1946 when classes began in the Hammond Board of Education Building. The site selection com- mittee of the Board of Trustees of Purdue University, headed by E.D. Anderson, chose a large tract of land in the Woodmar area of Ham- mond and began to raise funds for the erection of a building on the site. This first building was dedi- cated in 1951, and the university community was born.

E.D. ANDERSON BUILDING Dedicated April 23, 1969 and Named By The Trustees of Purdue University To Honor EDWARD DELMAR ANDERSON “If any one individual ts to be singled out as the prime mover in the development of this campus, it is the late E. D. Anderson, a Purdue engineering graduate of the Class of 1924, who lived and worked in Hammond as Vice President of the Northern Indiana Public Service Company and served on the Board of Trustees of Purdue University from 1951 until his untimely death in 1956. What was done here could not have been done without his 7 eee ee ee eee eee ; PURDUE UNIVERSITY CALUMET CAMPUS (From the address by Frederick L.
