Much more information about Purdue University and John Purdue's role in its founding can be found in the new book, Uncle: My Journey With John Purdue.
Purdue University is a world-class institute, having the size and budget of some cities and even countries. In a November 2004 listing, the Times of London in a new survey ranking universities from all over the world ranked Purdue University 59th overall and 25th in North America. Several departments have been ranked among the top in the nation and the world. In some areas it is considered as prestigious as Harvard, Yale, and Stanford. People who have worked or studied at Purdue have won both Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes, and others have contributed to the "Seven Wonders of the Modern World"--including the Golden Gate Bridge and the Hoover Dam. Work by Purdue researchers led to the first successfully transmitted television pictures, and it was the first university in the country to establish a department of computer science.
Purdue's astronauts are legendary. Purdue University is known as the "Home of the Astronauts." Purdue's Engineering and Aeronautics and Astronautics departments have been almost predominate. Purdue graduates range from Neil Armstrong, first person to walk on another world, to Eugene Cernan, the last. Virgil "Gus" Grissom became one of NASA's seven original astronauts. More than a third of all U.S. manned space flights have had at least one Purdue graduate.
