===Integration===
Purdue had black graduates by the 1890s, and in 1905 a Black man ran for its track team. But some time in the 1910s the teams became segregated, and remained so until a student protest in 1947. Black students were not allowed to live in the residence halls until the 1940s. Black males were able to live in cooperatives, but Black females were not allowed to live anywhere in West Lafayette. In 1946, the women's dormitories were integrated by an order of the governor of Indiana.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Lotus |first1=Jean L |title=Up South in Indiana |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/111256626/up-south-in-indiana/ |access-date=October 13, 2022 |publisher=Journal and Courier |date=October 13, 1993}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Lotus |first1=Jean L |title=Up South in Indiana |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/111256767/up-south-in-indiana/ |access-date=October 13, 2022 |publisher=Journal and Courier |date=October 13, 1993}}</ref>
