Boilermaker: This Purdue student or athlete nickname originated in 1889 when discouraged coaches hired several husky boilermakers from the Monon Railroad and a few burly policemen to play football. After enrolling in one course, the men started playing and won one game after another. Angry Crawfordsville newspapermen wrote uncomplimentary stories, calling the team “sluggers”, “cornfield sailors”, and “boilermakers”. The last name stuck and has been a nickname ever since.
