Purdue Road School Program, 1930 - 1983
Scope and Contents
In January 1913, W. K. Hatt, Head of the School of Civil Engineering made a request for a Civil Engineering Conference to cover the needs of county surveyors and city engineers. Roads and streets were heavily involved. A similar conference was held in 1914 at which a resolution was passed which called for a provision in the laws of Indiana that there be a yearly "School of Good Roads." In 1915, the name of the Civil Engineering Conference was changed to the "Purdue Road School."
In this sub-series one will find a 1930 Road School program, along with bulletins from the 1970s and 1980s.
