Purdue

[No Quarter]

Purdue = NOT.

From the Purdue official website:

"Public, doctoral-granting research university Indiana's land-, sea-, and space-grant university."

Army and Navy are unlike public universities. The distinction is obvious.

Is U. of Pittsburgh private?

Sorry guys. Pitt is a public school.

[Diehard Pony]

Not that it matters, but Pitt has the very unusual distinction of having been private for most of its existence, and then switched to a public school in the '70s. Very strange, but true (my mother went there).
