Purdue was open to her many friends to-
day for the first time on a public occasion
since the fire. and although the public had
kept pretty we'll informed OF her restora-
ton, people were surprised at the rapidlty
with which she has arisen from the ashes.
The great building was seen 10 be restored
in all its first floor parts. only the tnree-
story front being yet untouched, an I'M
slightly pile of brick and the grim ruins
of a pretentious tower marking its out
line. The old locomotive schenectady"
the pride of Purdue people and the delight
of visitors, had been given a new jacket
and beautifully repaired, and a few days
ago been driven in on a permanent track
OF her own to a new place in a new build
ing built especially for her. and the visitors
to-day saw the huge machine resting on
the old mount, but hitched to the most
perfect dynamometer yet invented. New

stroyed by fire, and friends had put In
new ones on a later type, so that to-day
Purdue showed to the public promise OF a
better and more complete equipment than

day granted more diplomas than at any
previous commencement-sixty-six regular
