UPDATE:

On Tuesday, June 11, 1929, Purdue\u2019s graduating class lined up on Memorial Mall and marched as a group to Memorial Gymnasium for a 9:00 AM ceremony.\u00a0 This photo, taken from the second story of Memorial Gym, shows their approach across the railroad tracks that led to the Power Plant in the center of campus.\u00a0 The former Purdue Hall is visible in the background.\u00a0 Family and friends gathered along the path to cheer on the soon-to-be graduates and the Purdue Military Band provided musical accompaniment for the ceremony.\u00a0 More than 600 students received their degrees that day.<\/p>\n
