Biographical Sketch

Frederick Lawson Hovde (1908-1983), Rhodes Scholar, Oxford rugby star, chemical

engineer, educator, chief of U.S. rocket ordnance research, and seventh president of

Purdue University was born February 7, 1908, in Erie, Pennsylvania to parents Martin

and Julia Hovde. He spent his boyhood at Devils Lake in North Dakota. Hovde received

his Bachelor of Chemical Engineering degree from the University of Minnesota in 1929.

Elected to a Rhodes scholarship, he spent three years, 1929-1932, at Brasenose College,

Oxford University, receiving first a B.A. degree and then a B.S. degree in the Final

Honors program in Chemistry. While at Oxford, he was a member of the varsity rugby

football team and in 1931 he became the third American in history to win his Oxford

“blue” in the annual Oxford-Cambridge rugby match.

Hovde returned to the United States in 1932 to accept a position as Assistant Director of

the newly established General College of the University of Minnesota. He married

Priscilla Louise Boyd in 1933. The couple had three children: F. Boyde, Jane, and Linda.

In 1936, Hovde accepted a position at the University of Rochester in New York, serving

as Assistant to the President and Lecturer in Chemistry.

In 1941, following the outbreak of World War II, Hovde was called to government duty

with the newly established National Defense Research Committee, which later became a

part of the war-time Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD). His first

assignment was as head of the London Mission of the OSRD. While in England, he

received his Master’s degree from Oxford University. In 1942, he assumed the position

of Executive Assistant to Dr. James B. Conant, chairman of the National Defense

Research Committee, in Washington, D.C.

In 1943, Hovde was made Chief of Division 3, Rocket Ordnance Research, of the

National Defense Research Committee. In recognition of his war services he received the

President’s Medal for Merit and was awarded the King’s Medal for Service in the Cause

of Freedom by the British Government. In January 1946, he began his tenure as

President of Purdue University. While at Purdue, he also served as chairman of the

Committee on Guided Missiles of the Research and Development Board (1947-1949) and

was chairman of the Building Research Advisory Board of the National Research Council

(1950-1952). In September 1951, he was appointed to membership on the Board of

Foreign Scholarships of the Department of State and served on that board until 1955,

acting as board chairman from 1953 to 1955. He served as a member of the Board of

Visitors to the United States Naval Academy, Board of Visitors to the Air University, Air

Training Command Advisory Board, Board of Consultants to the National War College,

and Board of Visitors to the United States Air Force Academy. He served as a member

of the Army Scientific Advisory Panel, Department of the Army (1952-1960), chairing

the panel from 1956 to 1958.

Hovde served as President of the National Association of State Universities and Land-

Grant Colleges (1953-1954), as vice chairman of the American Council on Education

(1955-1956), and a member of the President’s Committee on Education Beyond High


School (1956-1957). In March 1960, Hovde served on a special National Academy of

Sciences committee which met at the Jacksonville, Florida Naval Air Station to review

the ship-building and modernization needs of the U.S. Navy. He also served as chairman

of the President-Elect’s Task Force Committee on Education in January 1961. From

1967-1970 he was a member of the National Advisory Health Manpower Council of the

Public Health Service of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. From 1970

to 1973, he served on the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. From 1971

to 1973 he was also a member of the Reorganization Committee of the Indiana State

Department of Public Instruction. In October 1971, he was honored with membership in

the Indiana Academy. He served from 1972 to 1977 as a member of the Board of

Governors of the Investment Company Institute. He served as a member of the Board of

Directors of Inland Steel Company from 1959 to 1978 and as a director of General

Electric from 1956 to 1979. He was also a trustee of the Sears-Roebuck Foundation from

1976-1979.

Hovde was named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science

in 1957. He received the Exceptional Civilian Service Award from the Department of the

Air Force in 1961, the Distinguished Public Service Award from the Department of the

Navy in 1963, the Distinguished Service Award from the Association of the U.S. Army

in 1963, and the Distinguished Public Service Medal from the Department of Defense in

1970.

In 1967, Hovde received the Washington Award from the Western Society of Engineers

and the Gold Medal Award from the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame. In

1968, he was awarded the National Order of the Southern Cross by the Brazilian

government and the Academic Award Medal by the government of Taiwan. In 1970, he

was selected by the National Collegiate Athletic Association to receive its Theodore

Roosevelt Award. Hovde was also a member of the Board of Directors of the Investors

Mutual, Investors Stock, Investors Selective, Investors Variable Payment, IDS

Progressive, and the IDS Bond Funds.

Upon retirement from the presidency of Purdue University in 1971, he was named

President Emeritus of Purdue. In the spring of 1975, in honor of his years of service as

President of Purdue University, the Board of Trustees of the University renamed the

Executive Building the Frederick L. Hovde Hall of Administration. In 1979, Hovde

accepted membership on the Board of Governors of the Purdue Foundation, and he

became a member of the President’s Council in 1980. Hovde received more than 20

honorary doctoral degrees in a variety of disciplines from colleges and university

throughout the United States.


Scope and Content Note

The Frederick L. Hovde Papers (1908-1983; 63.5 Cubic ft.) document the life and career

of engineer and educator Frederick L. Hovde. The Papers are divided into five series:

1. Business Career, 1918-1983 (40 Cubic ft.)

2. Personal and Family Life, 1908-1983 (9 Cubic ft.)

3. Photographic Materials, 1925-1983 (2 Cubic ft.)

4. Audio-Visual Materials, ca. 1950s-1978 (0.5 Cubic ft.)

5. Artifacts, ca. 1922-1982 (9 Cubic ft.)

6. Oversized Materials, 1921-1982 (3 Cubic ft.)

The vast majority of the papers document Hovde’s business career, particularly his tenure

as President of Purdue University (1946-1971), but also his work for the U.S. government

and other agencies on nuclear and atomic energy, weapons research, national defense,

and rocket ordnance research. A group of personal papers is included, documenting

Hovde’s academic career, family, and personal life. A significant collection of Hovde’s

mementoes and personal belongings, such as souvenirs from trips, medals and awards,

academic regalia, and sports uniforms are included in the artifacts series.

Types of materials in the papers include: correspondence; reports; studies; meeting

minutes; printed material (brochures, publications, newspaper clippings, handbooks,

manuals, directories); biographical information; financial information; legal documents;

notes and transcripts of speeches; petitions; resolutions and citations; certificates;

diplomas; interview transcripts; schedules and itineraries; rosters and lists; charts;

research notes; photographic materials; audio-visual materials; artifacts; ephemera;

blueprints; press releases; proposals; works of art on paper; school papers; daily calendars

and journals; book manuscripts; and obituaries.

The correspondence includes letters between Hovde and other important individuals,

such as Richard Nixon, Herbert Hoover, Lyndon B. Johnson, Albert Einstein, J. Edgar

Hoover, and Eleanor Roosevelt. Other significant correspondence includes letters

regarding astronauts Virgil Grissom and Roger Chaffee, Purdue alumni killed during an

Apollo space training mission. Hovde’s correspondence with astronaut Eugene Cernan is

also included.

Original order of the files has been retained. For this reason, some personal

correspondence has been left within the business correspondence series, accurately

reflecting the order of Hovde’s working files and the way he used them. Oversized

materials, photographs, and artifacts have been separated and grouped into individual

series for preservation purposes as deemed appropriate by the archivist. Most

photographs relating to Purdue events were removed and transferred to the Purdue Photo

File, with photocopies of the original photos remaining in the Hovde Papers for reference

purposes.
