The Traditions.

While University events are the most likely place for Boilermakers to join in a chorus of Purdue's official fight song, it's not uncommon to hear it somewhere on campus every day. The song was composed in 1912 by Edward Wotawa (music) and James Morrison (lyrics).

HAIL PURDUE

The official phrase for Boilermakers everywhere.

Boiler UP

The official athletics mascot of Purdue Athletics. Meanwhile, the train dubbed the Boilermaker Special, is the official mascot of Purdue University.
