Yet another very old card of Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana. This card was mailed today, September 3, 1908. That would be 106 years ago today!
The image shows the fountain on Memorial Mall, both of which are still around. The grave-marker for the University's namesake, John Purdue, is nearby.
There is nothing written on the back of the card apart from the address. The front of the card states:
We are both having a fine time. Mrs. P[?illegable name]
The card was originally addressed to Miss Clara Uhl of 430 North Capital in Indianapolis Indiana. A googlemap search seems to show that whatever was at that address in 1908 is long gone.
