Purdue University Aerial View, West Lafayette, Indiana, September, 1968
With its distinctive red brick/red tile roof architecture, Purdue’s West Lafayette campus is on full display in this aerial photograph looking northeast from a position above the southwest portion of the agriculture campus. Notable is the landmark power plant smokestack at center right. Purdue had its own railroad switch engines which brought coal loaded gondolas on a rail spur to the power plant in the middle of campus. Years later, the power plant and smokestack were razed. The campus is now dominated by the 160-foot Purdue Bell Tower. At the time of this photograph, ninety-nine years from its founding, Purdue was a world renown engineering and agriculture university. with an enrollment of 18,000. Almost every engineering discipline had its own building. More than fifty years later, Purdue has grown to 50,000 students with expanded programs in many other fields of learning. Indiana’s legislature has avoided duplication of many graduate programs in its state universities, leaving Purdue devoid of architecture, law, medicine, optometry, and music schools, to name a few. Purdue’s sister state university and arch-rival–Indiana University at Bloomington, offers degrees in the aforementioned programs. Nonetheless Purdue has continued to earn world-wide recognition in expanding areas of research and technology.
