Welcome Tomahawk

Pledges!

Look around you. All of these people that you have met this evening will become your good friends. They will also help you to become an active member of Tomahawk. Throughout this week, you will be expected to attend work week. Every night this week from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., you will be making your pledge board, learning pledge material, meeting your pledge brothers and sisters, and the active chapter. Work week starts Monday night! You should meet in the Tomahawk office at about 5:55 p.m. and that is in room 20A in the basement of Stewart Center. We understand that you may not be able to attend every night of work week and that is all right. Tests and your school work are more important, but it is recommended for you to be there if you can. At a later date there will be a pledge party. This party is for you to get to know the members and pledges better. This is also a great opportunity to get a lot of signatures for your new pledge board. We know that this may seem like a lot, but we all did it and with a little effort you can too! Please note that this is the only week that is this busy, so please don't be worried. There are four individuals that have been chosen by the active chapter to help you get through pledgeship. Please feel free to call us at anytime, for any reason. We are here to help you in any way, shape, or form or if you just want to talk, give us a call. We, the pledge parents, look forward to knowing you better!

PLEDGE RULES

GRASS --- DON’T WALK ON IT, EVER! (nuff said)

CLAPPING DURING 'HAIL PURDUE'--- DON'T DO IT, EVER!

PLEDGE BOARDS -- Boards should be carried during class hours when on campus or while walking to and from campus meetings. Boards may be carried with your books, but MUST BE EASILY SEEN. Class hours are from 7am - 5:20pm.

POTS --- Pots should be carried during class hours when on campus or while walking to and from campus meetings. Pots should be worn at Tomahawk functions. Class hours are from 7am - 5:20pm.

SIGNATURES --- A pledge is required to obtain signatures to be activated. The pledge parents and the president will decide the number of signatures needed for activation. Pledges can get signatures from actives, honoraries, and alumni. In order to obtain an active's signature, the pledge must know the active's major in addition to their name. This signature may be placed only on the back, bottom half of the pledge board. It's a good idea to cover these with something protective, i.e. nail polish, as soon as you get them. For the first review, pledges must have the signatures of the entire pledge class, the active chapter executive officers, and their big sibs. Sometimes members of other organizations will try to sign your board. If you are unsure if someone is a Tomahawk, ask them to do the Tomahawk cheer.

MASCOTS, CREST, & GOOF BOARD --- These are to be kept in possession of the pledges at all times and are to be brought to all reviews. It is imperative that they be kept out of the hands of the actives, unless they say they are 'on their honor'.

4

REVIEWS --- A series of 4 formal reviews will be scheduled where the active chapter can observe how well the pledge class has been fulfilling its pledge material requirements. This makes it essential for the pledges to KNOW their material very well. The pledges may hold their walkout on the night of a review. If the pledge's walkout is not successful, the review will be held! Any pledge having to miss a review should contact a pledge parent as soon as the conflict is identified.

BIG SIBS --- Each pledge will be assigned a Big Brother/Big Sister. The purpose is to provide a one-on-one interaction between actives and pledges. Each pledge is encouraged to have at least one visit with their Big Sibs every week. Please let the pledge parents know if this is not occurring or if there are any related problems.

ACTIVATION --- All pledges are required to attend the Activation ceremony, which is held at the end of the pledge period. The final duty of the pledge class is to perform a skit for the actives following the Activation ceremony. In order to be activated, each pledge must have all the required signatures, must pass the written exam over the pledge material, participated in at least 3 service projects, and attend at least 2 reviews.

PLEDGE SERVICE PROJECT --- Prior to being activated, the pledge class must successfully complete two service projects. The exact nature of the project will be set out by the pledge class as a group with guidance from the parents. The project must be approved by the chapter president. THE PROJECTS MUST INVOLVE ALL PLEDGES AND MUST BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO ACTIVATION!

PLEDGE T-SHIRT --- Each pledge class has different mascots and each pledge class designs different t-shirts. These t-shirts are very special in displaying pledge family unity. (Tradition has been to give the pledge parents and president a t-shirt to show appreciation at Activation.)

5

RETRIBUTION --- When a pledge is caught walking on the grass or forgets their board at home and is cornered by an active, retribution is called on the entire pledge class. Retribution is scheduled after the next function and a few songs and cheers will be performed at a location selected by the actives. As a pledge class, we should each try to avoid retribution because it appears as though we're not doing what we should. Note: We can call retribution on the actives when they are not doing what they should.

PLEDGE DUES -- Dues for this semester are $30. Arrangements can be made for any pledge having difficulties with this amount. This is not a fundraiser for the active members of Tomahawk. The money goes toward the pledge materials: the boards, the pots, the activation pins, and dinner at the activation banquet. Note: At least half of the $30 must be paid by the first review.

LESSON 1

Functions of Tomahawk (verbatim)

1. To give recognition to independent students for outstanding work in activities and organizations.

2. To stimulate interest in and to cooperate with student organizations and activities.

3. To provide opportunities in leadership for its members.

4. To be of service to the college community.

5. To act as an athletic boosting organization.

Tomahawk Crest

The lamp stands for knowledge; may it guide all Tomahawks along the path of success. The stars symbolize wisdom; may you always be wise and right in your decisions. The chains mean unity; may Tomahawks always stand united in all undertakings. The hands stand for friendship; may the friendships begun in Tomahawk grow ever stronger.

History of Tomahawk

Tomahawk began as two separate organizations in the 1930’s. Tomahawk at the University of Illinois and Sigma Iota at Indiana University. At a convention of the National Independent Associations in 1946, delegates from those two schools discussed the formation of a national organization. Sigma Iota was chosen to represent “Serve Indiana”. The name “Tomahawk” was chosen to represent the Native American tribes of the Midwest. The first national president, Larry Hennings of IU, designed the crest, the pin, and the original constitution. Purdue currently has the only remaining active chapter of Tomahawk. The Iowa State chapter was activated as Tomahawk in 1951, but has since changed its name to the Couriers. The University of Northern Iowa chapter was activated in 1958, but changed their name to Sigma Iota in 1998.

History of the Algonquin Chapter

The Purdue Algonquin Chapter of Tomahawk was chartered on April 23, 1949, and was the first chapter to admit women. Tomahawk at Purdue was started by Donald J. Hargadon, William S. McLaughlin, and Harold E. Maurer.

Purdue has the only remaining active chapter.

Unsung Hero

The Unsung Hero is an award given to an active member of Tomahawk who is not an officer within that semester. The recipient, selected by the active chapter’s vote, is one who gives much of his or her time to Tomahawk behind the scenes, through participation in service projects and other functions. There is not necessarily an Unsung Hero every semester. This award was first presented in the Fall of '81. The last recipient was Brandon Crenshaw in the Spring of 2015.

Best Tomahawk

The active chapter of Tomahawk has felt for some time that visible means of recognition should be established to reward themost outstanding member of the Algonquin Chapter. In the Fall of 1969, the first award was given to the Tomahawk who had done the most for promoting the ideals of Tomahawk. The last recipient of the Best Tomahawk award was Peyton Spreacker in the Spring of 2015.

Outstanding Honorary This award was created in the Fall of 1990 to distinguish honoraries for their outstanding contributions to the Algonquin Chapter. This recognition is given by the active chapter; it is not required to give one every semester. Dale Daniels, who the award was named after, was the first recipient. Bob Zink was the last recipient in the Spring of 2015.

Outstanding Alumni

A new award was created in the Spring of 2001 to honor alumni who has contributed to the Algonquin Chapter of Tomahawk. It is not given every semester, and the last recipient was James Krippendorf in the Spring of 2015.

Purdue Songs and Cheers

Hail Purdue To your call once more we rally, Alma Mater, hear our praise; Where the Wabash spreads its valley, Filled with joy our voices raise. From the skies in swelling echoes Come the cheers that tell the tale, Of your vict’ries and your heroes, Hail Purdue! We sing all Hail!

Chorus Hail, Hail to Old Purdue! All Hail to our Old Gold and Black! Hail, Hail to Old Purdue! Our Friendship may she never lack; Ever grateful ever true, Thus we raise our song anew, Of the days we've spent with you, All Hail, our own Purdue.

When in after years we're turning, Alma Mater back to you, May our hearts with love be yearning, For the scenes of Old Purdue. Back among your pathways winding Let us seek what lies before, Fondest hopes and aims e'er finding, While we sing of days of yore.

Chorus

12

The Purdue Hymn Close by the Wabash, In Famed Hoosier land, Stands Old Purdue, Serene and grand. Cherished in memory, By all her sons and daughters true. Fair Alma Mater, All Hail Purdue. Fairest in all the land, Our own Purdue.

Tomahawk Cheer

Tapout, walkout, formal review, TBI is watching you. Pots, boards, respect the grass, Euchre, sigs, knows the brass. Service, Leadership, friends anew, TOMAHAWK, TOMAHAWK, YEAH PURDUE!!!

LESSON 2

Purdue Memorial Union In 1912, a five dollar assessment was made of each member of the senior class for the purpose of securing a home for the student, alumni, and faculty activities. George Hays was responsible for the initial effort. Before being interrupted by WW I, $17,000 had been collected. On November 16, 1918, O.H. Booher, an alumnus, suggested the construction of the Union Building in honor of the Purdue students that had participated in the Great War. A subscription plan was started in 1919 for this purpose. Construction began in 1922 and the building was ready for partial use by September of 1924. Estimated present worth of the building and equipment exceeds six million dollars.

Great Hall The Great Hall is located in the center front of the Union. Fifty students were killed in WWI and are commemorated by the cross on the floor of the Great Hall. In respect for those students, no one is to step on the cross. Individual plaques commemorate the Purdue dead of WW I, WW II, Korea, and Vietnam. It is tradition to bare your head while in the Great Hall. The campus model in the Great Hall is a campus planning guide on permanent display for the public. The Planning and Engineering Departments update the model with scale models as innovations on the campus are made.

Centennial Marker The Purdue Centennial Marker is located in the front of the Materials Science Electrical Engineering Building on Northwestern Ave. It was dedicated in 1969 during the Purdue Centennial Celebration, and displays the Purdue Seal (the crest of Purdue), which was specially designed for the Centennial Anniversary of the University. Beneath the marker sporting this new seal, a sealed copper box was buried under nearly a foot of concrete. Within this box are Purdue artifacts from 1969, when the Centennial occurred, and a letter from Purdue's President Hovde to the University President in 2069.

University Hall University Hall is the oldest building on campus. Built in 1876, its construction was initiated by , although he didn't live to see its completion. It was first used three years after the start of classes at Purdue. In its early days, it housed the President's office, the library, and a chapel. In the early 1960's it was remodeled inside and air-conditioned. It now contains the offices and classrooms for the Departments of Political Science and History.

The Spirit of the Land Grant College

The mural hanging in Stewart Center is titled "The Spirit of the Land Grant College," and was painted by Eugene Savage in honor of Lillian and Robert Stewart. The painting symbolizes a dramatic education characteristic of Purdue. The far left depicts the agricultural background of Lafayette before Purdue. Lincoln represents the signing of the Morrill Act, which led the way to acquiring land for . The golden rays of the sun lead into the areas of education upon which Purdue focuses. The far right is representative of the wealth and power Purdue graduates will attain.

Loeb Fountain

The Loeb fountain is located by Beering Hall (previously Liberal Arts and Education Building). It formerly resided on the Engineering Mall. It was built in the summer of 1959. The money was donated by Bert E. and June Loeb. The inscription reads, "To honor Solomen Loeb, pioneer local merchant, by Bert E. and June Loeb Foundation." It is made of granite with 53 red, yellow, and blue lights in three circles.

Hello Walk

Opposite University Hall, near the flagpole on the western edge of what was called the Oval, is the grave of John Purdue. John Purdue's only request was to be buried on campus. David Ross also requested to be buried on campus. His grave is on Slayter Hill. In former years, the Memorial Mall was bounded on the western side by a semi-circular road and wall, which was known as the "Hello Walk." In the friendly tradition of Purdue, dating back to 1893, it was customary to say hello to any person one met on this walk. This custom still exists and has been extended to the walks that now crisscross the Oval.

Varsity Walk

Bob Verplank was the originator of this project for the 1955 pledge class of the Purdue Reamer Club. Each year a plaque is installed in the Varsity Walk in honor of the outstanding senior varsity athlete who has brought the most national recognition to Purdue University. The walk used to run across the Engineering Mall. The names are now displayed on the obelisk near the Physics building.

Old Pump Originally used by farmers during the 1860's, the Old Pump, now located at the southeast corner of Stone Hall, is a campus landmark. According to tradition, the Pump was used by the early Purdue students as a campus meeting place. The hours for Purdue women in the ladies' halls were very early in the evening, but the coeds could go out to the Pump, which was located between the men's and women's halls, after hours for water. The men of Purdue often used this opportunity to see their sweethearts. Today the Pump symbolizes romance, friendship, and the spirit of Purdue.

16

The Fountain

The Fountain is located in the Engineering Mall in front of Hovde Hall, the former location of the Loeb Fountain. It was built in 1989 with money donated by the Class of 1939. The sculptor was Robert Youngman and it was dedicated during Homecoming 1989.

Heavilon Hall

When it was constructed, its tower was a famed landmark and a symbol of pride, which was to serve as an engineering laboratory with the name of its principal benefactor, Amos Heavilon. Four days after its dedication on January 19, 1894, disaster struck. The Hall was the victim of a gas explosion and fire that left it a charred hull. At chapel that day, President Smart spoke softly. Then, with determination he declared, "... but I tell you, young men, that tower shall go up one brick higher!" A speech that echoes down the years as Purdue's rallying cry. In the mid 1950's, this second hall was replaced with the Heavilon Hall of today which is more efficient in space than the previous two buildings.

Purdue Bell Tower

Built in 1995, it is a gift of the Class of 1943. It was built in response to President Smart's promise to build a tower one brick higher. The bells can be heard every quarter hour and the clock that is on all sides of the bell keeps the official time for class.

David Ross' Grave

Located at the top of Slayter Hill, the grave bears this inscription: "David Ross: Dreamer, Builder, Faithful Trustee, Creator of Opportunity for Youth."

Elliott Hall of Music Built in 1940, Elliott is the largest theater of any industrial institution in the United States. It has a seating capacity surpassing that of New York City's Radio City Music Hall.

17

Ross-Ade Stadium

In 1922, David Ross and George Ade purchased a 65-acre tract adjoining the campus to be used for recreational purposes. This area includes our present stadium, fieldhouse, and practice field. Construction began in 1924 and the stadium was dedicated on November 22, 1924, to accommodate 32,000, but after several additions, the current capacity is 67,861.

Mackey Arena

Construction of began in 1965. The building was dedicated in 1967, during a Purdue men’s game, with Tomahawk ushering the open house. The Arena, which has a seating capacity of 14,123, is used for Purdue basketball games, where capacity crowds are the rule. As well as containing locker rooms, Mackey Arena has training rooms, and the offices of the athletic administration and coaching staffs. There are six main gates that service eighteen sections in the Arena. It is named for the late Purdue Director of Athletics, Guy "Red" Mackey, who served 29 years in that capacity.

The Purdue Wreck and the Memorial Gym

On October 31, 1903, twelve Boilermaker football players and five townspeople and students were killed in a train collision outside of on their way to the Purdue-IU football game. As a tribute to this incident, the Memorial Gym, which used to be called the Women's Gym, was built and dedicated in 1909. Money for the advance ticket sales for the game was donated by IU, and as a gesture of good faith, IU also played a benefit game with Notre Dame to raise money for the Gym. It is tradition to bare one's head before entering this building, in memory of those whom the building is dedicated. The twelve steps in front of the building represent the twelve players who died. Today the Memorial Gym is the location of the offices of the Computer Science Department.

LESSON3

History of the Big Ten

In 1895, President James Smart called meetings of the presidents of seven Midwest universities to consider regulations and control of athletics. In 1896 the Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representatives was organized. The original members were: Purdue, Northwestern, University of Chicago, University of Illinois, , , and the University of Wisconsin. The organization today contains: Purdue, Michigan State University, University of Nebraska, , , Pennsylvania State University, University of Illinois, , University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, University of Wisconsin, and Indiana University and is commonly called the "Big Ten." 1995 was the one hundredth anniversary of the .

Victory Bell

The Victory Bell was purchased in 1877 and was originally located atop the power plant. It was used as a rising alarm and a class bell. When a new heating plant replaced the old one in 1903, the Bell was placed in the locomotive museum. In 1905, the news came that Purdue had beaten IU in football 27-0. The news was so exciting that someone thought of using the bell for a celebration and it was immediately brought out. After the students enthusiastically drug it to the courthouse steps as a highlight to their celebration, President Stone's patience wore thin and the bell was hidden. Later, the class of 1907 decided to ring the bell just after football victories, found the bell, and made plans for a permanent structure for housing the Bell. It is now housed underneath the Stadium and should be rung after every Purdue conference game victory; however, the Victory Bell is rung after every Purdue score in football.

22

The Shillelagh The newest of the three trophies at stake during each football season is the Shillelagh, which goes to the winner of the Purdue-Notre Dame football game. The Shillelagh was donated in 1957 by an Irish fan, who brought the club back from Ireland. Following each game, a miniature football with the winner's initials and the final score is added to the stand on which the Shillelagh rests. Overall, there are 19 Purdue footballs and 38 Notre Dame footballs.

Purdue Cannon Some Purdue students in 1905 took a small cannon (origin unknown) to Champaign, Illinois, to celebrate a Boilermaker victory after the Purdue-Illinois football game. Purdue won the game 29-0, but the students could not fire the cannon because Illinois fan Quincy A. Hall and his Delta Upsilon fraternity brothers had discovered its hiding place and had taken it. The Cannon remained in the fraternity house for a number of years. Later, Hall took it to his farmhouse in Milfrod, Illinois, where it survived a fire and collected dust. In 1943, Hall brought it out to be presented as a traveling trophy between the two schools. At one time, the Cannon was destroyed accidentally, and the pieces were given to Purdue. A new Cannon was purchased by both schools. This second Cannon was also lost for a time but was later discovered by a Tomahawk (Thom Setters), who then returned it to Illinois, the winner of the last football game. Tomahawk or Illini Pride maintains the trophy when its respective school wins. The series is currently 31-27-2 in favor of Purdue.

The Monon Spike The Monon Spike, a traveling trophy that originated in the Fall of 1981, symbolized the volleyball rivalry between Purdue and IU. A bronze "I" or "P" is added to signify the winner of the second match. The trophy is a gift from the senior volleyball class of 1981-82. There are currently 26 P's and 12 I's.

23

The In 1925, the alumni of Purdue and Indiana decided that some tangible evidence of victory in the PU-IU football series would increase interest. The first bucket was a new metal pail purchased from a Chicago mail-order firm. Clearly, this would not do.

On the Wabash she stands, With her welcoming hands, As an Alma Mater true. Far and wide, She's our own Hoosier Pride Ever loyal will be. So we'll sing it out

And we'll raise a shout, For our University.

Chorus Then Hail, All Hail to Old Purdue, The pride of all the west. We'll sing out the story And we'll tell of the glory, Of the school we love the best. Then Hail, All Hail to Old Purdue, Our Alma Mater true, And we'll ever stand, Every heart and hand, For the Honor of Old Purdue.

Once again in a mighty refrain, Hail to Old Purdue. From the ends of the earth Men have heard of her worth, And have found her to be true. She's so grand she's the best in the land. Ne'er can her full worth be told Tho' both loud and long, Her Alumni strong, May sing of the Black and Gold.

LESSON 4

Capsule History of Purdue University

The origin began with the signing of the Morrill Act by President Lincoln in 1862. Three years later, the General Assembly of Indiana voted to take advantage of the public land for colleges to teach agriculture and mechanical arts. John Purdue donated land and money for Purdue. Six instructors taught 39 students when school opened in 1874. Organization for the university was worked out by the first president, Richard Owen. The first graduating class had 14 students. Enrollment now exceeds 40,000 students on the West Lafayette campus and 21,000 on the regional campuses. Originally, Purdue had three buildings; today the main campus contains over 141 major buildings on 1,565 acres. In addition, nearly 15,000 acres in the state are under university control and are used for agricultural research. In some 400 labs, over 120 million dollars are spent annually on diversified research. There are 2,200 faculty members on the West Lafayette campus. The first Debris (Purdue's yearbook) was published in 1887 and the first Exponent (Purdue's newspaper) in 1889.

Purdue Seal

The Purdue Seal, had its origins on April 14, 1967, when the university awarded a grant to Al Gowen, Assistant Professor in the new Department of Creative Arts, for the research and development of the new crest. In March 1968, Gowen presented the seal, which is the fifth seal used by the University. The seal features a griffin behind a shield and the words "Purdue University." The griffin is a symbol of strength from medieval heraldry. The three-part shield indicated the stated aims of Purdue University: Education, Research, and Service.

Old Gold and Black In the Fall of 1887, it was decided that for the football team to achieve distinction in college athletics, it must have college colors. The captain of the team proposed what are now Purdue's colors: Old Gold and Black.

Purdue Boilermakers

In 1889, the newly hired coaches were quite discouraged by the scrawny volunteers that came out for football. Not to be outdone, the coaches recruited several husky boilermakers from the local Monon shops and a few burly policemen. These men were duly enrolled in one class and promptly set out to play football. The result was victory after victory. The team beat Wabash College, resulting in the Crawfordsville paper calling the team 'sluggers', 'cornfield sailors', 'haymakers', and the name that stuck: 'boilermakers'. Ever since, the Purdue students have been proud to be known as the Boilermakers.

Boilermaker Special

The is the official mascot of Purdue and is kept in the custody of the Purdue Reamer club. It is used to announce current campus events. The idea for the Special began with an article in the Exponent by Isreal Silkowitz. The completed Special was presented on September 11, 1940. The number on the head lamp, 074041, is composed of important dates. The 07 is the year Doc Anderson and W.H. Winterrowd graduated from Purdue. Anderson worked on the chassis and W.H. Winterrowd helped to construct the body for the Special. The 40 and 41 represent the members of those classes and the Reamer Club members who dedicated their time, energy and money. Since then, we have had four other Specials, which includes the present one, which was completed in the Fall of '93.

Purdue Pete

He is the unofficial athletic mascot of Purdue and represents the University at games and pep rallies.

I am an American:

“I am an American” "I am an American." That is the way most of us put it, just matter-of-factly. They are plain words those four. You could write them on your thumbnail, or you could sweep them clear across a bright autumn sky. But remember that they are more than just words. They are a way of life! So whenever you speak them, speak them firmly, speak them proudly, speak them gratefully! "I Am An American!"

"I am an American" was written in 1964 by Dr. Al G. Wright and Jack Carroll as part of the half- time show for the Purdue University "All American Marching Band." It was so well received it has been used as part of every pregame show since. The words to "I am an American" have since been adopted by the Houston Oilers and Columbia Pictures. Tomahawk alumnus, Roy Johnson has announced these words, which resound throughout Ross-Ade Stadium since 1972.

Purdue Songs and Cheers

Back Home Again in Indiana Back home again in Indiana And it seems that I can see The gleaming candle light Still shining bright Through the sycamores for me! The new mown hay Sends all its fragrance From the fields I used to roam. When I dream about the moonlight On the Wabash Then I long for my Indiana home.

Oh Purdue

Oh Purdue! Oh Purdue! How you make me shiver With your old Sweet Shop And your Wabash River Oh I love you with my heart And I love you with my liver Oh Purdue! By the River!

Oh Purdue! Oh Purdue! You’re my chosen school With your parking lots And Reflection Pool! Oh your men are many And your women are so few, Oh so few! At Purdue!
