Purdue University in Lafayette, Indiana, was in 1913 a land-grant school, founded under the Morrill Act in 1869, and its football team was one of the Western Conference (later Big Ten) squads that drew students, alumni, and local townspeople to weekend games. This panoramic photograph records a game against the University of Wisconsin, whose title gives Purdue the 7 on the scoreboard. Lafayette and the neighboring town of West Lafayette were then mainly known for the university, for the railroad and river trade on the Wabash, and for the manufacturing that gave the twin cities their working population. Like many Midwestern campuses at the time, Purdue treated its football crowds as a civic occasion, bringing the town and the students together in one place.
