From the Archives revealed: Baseball on Stuart Field

Stuart Field hosted most of Purdue's outdoor activities from its creation in the 1890s until the construction of Ross-Ade Stadium in 1924. Everything from football and baseball games to ROTC drills and marching band parades took place on the field. At the time of its creation, Stuart Field's location just east of the Armory was the northern edge of campus. Today, Elliott Hall of Music occupies much of Stuart Field's former footprint and a plaque commemorates the location of this early Purdue landmark.

The "From the Archives" photo series from Purdue Today and Purdue Libraries Archives and Special Collections will continue to share a glimpse at Purdue’s past throughout the year. More from Stuart Field and on the series can be found on the Purdue Libraries blog.
