I hope every Boilermaker everywhere got
the news that in the brand new Wall
Street Journal rankings of American
universities, Purdue was found the number
four public university in the country,
tied with Cal Berkeley. It's a tremendous
tribute to our faculty and to those
students who came here prepared well and
then as alums led great lives out in the
world as measured by the Journal's very
credible methodology.  But as Boilermakers we're never satisfied.
Number four is great, but three or two or one would be better so we will continue
making the investments and raising the
expectations of ourselves and our
students that we believe are producing
as we like to say the highest proven
value in higher education.
Boiler up!
