O knihe
Boilermakers is the official moniker for the
intercollegiate athletic teams of Purdue University.
As is
common with athletic nicknames, it is also used as
colloquial designation of Purdue's students and
alumni at
large. The nickname is often shortened to "Boilers"
by fans
of the school. The moniker 'Boilermakers' goes back
to 1891
when the Purdue football team defeated nearby rival
Wabash
College in Crawfordsville, Indiana 44-0. An account
of the
game in the Crawfordsville Daily Argus News of
October 26,
1891 was headlined, "Slaughter of Innocents: Wabash
Snowed
Completely Under by the Burly Boiler Makers from
Purdue."
Engineering education in the 1890s at Purdue meant
hands-on
work in the forge room, where students heated and molded
metal, just like the "blacksmiths" and "boilermakers"
the
football team was called after defeating opponents.
