Many of the images and artifacts included have never been published, presenting a unique history of the landgrant university from the student perspective.Purdue at 150 is organized by decade, presenting a scrapbooklike experience of viewing over 400 rare photographs, documents, and artifacts alongside critical contextual information. Each chapter provides a decadal historical sketch of Purdue University, offering insight into the institutions unique culture while incorporating campus responses to major national events such as world wars and the Great Depression.
