DePauw Mission Statement:
DePauw University stands today as a prime example of the independent liberal arts college which has served its state and nation in the best traditions of American educational institutions. It views the normal four-year period of college as a foundation for a lifetime of continued learning and growth. Therefore, while it stresses particular patterns of prevocational and preprofessional learning, it does so in the context of an intentional commitment to an examination of values, a pursuit of heightened aptitude in critical thinking and the establishment of a sufficiently broad base of general learning to constitute a foundation for living with meaning as well as making a living.

Famous Alumni:
John Ing (1840-1920). After graduating, John Ing became a missionary in China. Later, he and his family moved to Hirosaki, Japan, at the invitation of Yoichi Honda, principal of a school for feudal lords. He taught English, natural history, science and mathematics. He even encouraged new forms of agriculture and imported tomatoes, asparagus, cabbages and gooseberries from the U.S. Ing's nickname in Japan was "Johnny Appleseed," because he also imported apples and taught people how to grow them. Before he left Japan in 1878, Ing arranged for five of his students to come to Indiana.
