The Schools of ngineering , f fs K O one who knows the Purdue of to-day, world famous as a center of engineering education, . . . . h . kts? U? it mig it be surprising to learn t at its humble origin was an institution devoted to the study of agriculture and science and Z 4 4Q'-5 ' known as the Indiana Agricultural College. As a result of the zeal and benevolence of john Purdue and donations from various sources, the af- fairs of the college were greatly changed in 1869, not only in name, but in management and scope of interests. Upon the new basis Purdue University was to be an educational insti- tution under the jurisdiction of the State of Indiana with the purpose of furthering such branches of learning as are re- lated to agriculture and the mechanical arts. One very striking fact, considering our present over- crowded condition, is found in the records of those early days, whcrc we learn that the total enrollment for the four classes numbered Fifteen students. To-day linds us in strong contrast, of Cleveland. BENJAMIN with each of those early Purdue men replaced by more than a hundred husky Boilermakers The material equipment, until recently, increased in fair proportion to the constantly increasing enrollment, until the name of Purdue is now sounded throughout the civilized world. It must, however, be admitted that we have, with the funds at hand, been unable to continue the increase of the size of our present extensive shops and laboratories to keep pace with the surge of youth who annually make Purdue their choice among the engineering schools of the country. But, thanks to our far-sighted legislators, this deplorable condition is not destined to long continue, and with the execution of the present plans, made possible by the recent appropriations of the Legislature, Purdue's material equipment will soon be suffi- ciently enlarged to amply accommodate her share of the world's ambitious and aspiring progeny. The time has now arrived when Purdue is to reap the har- vest of her past by reaching that glorious zenith where she will be hailed by the sons of men as the world's engineering school.
