Purdue University is located in W. Lafayette Indiana, but how was that location decided?

John Purdue donated a lot of land.
Len Dawson was calling the plays back then, already!

If Peyton Manning had been calling the shots, it would have been in Omaha! 😂🤣😳
John Purdue was a very wealthy business man from Tippecanoe county. He is buried on the campus that bears his name. When it was announced that Congress had okyed partial funding for a major university in Indiana John Purdue and another entrepreneur, who's name escapes me,placed matching bids on tracks of land. To settle the issue the men decided to play a game of cribbage. The winner getting to decide the location
The rest is history.
