TheCentennialBell The Centennial Bell is located at the heart of the Pacific Lutheran University campus, across from Eastvold Hall on the red-brick quadrangle known colloquially as Red Square and officially as Centennial Square. Each year, on the first day of classes, three incoming students ring the bell to announce the arrival on campus of their classmates. All new students then process as a group to opening convocation. The ceremonial ringing of a replica of the Centennial Bell is repeated at the time of commencement to announce the graduation of the class, again with three peals of the bell struck by the provost. The Centennial Bell was dedicated on May 27, 1990 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Pacific Lutheran University. It was a gift from then President William O. Rieke and his wife, Joanne. The Centennial Bell and its replica were created by sculptor Tom Torrens, former PLU artist-in-residence.
- 5. 3 The chevron onthe Pacific Lutheran University honorary degree hood carries the black and gold institutional colors. The significance of the apparel is indicated especially by the sleeves and hoods. The master’s gown has long, closed sleeves and the doctor’s gown has bell-shaped sleeves and velvet trimmings. The master’s hood is three and one-half feet in length and the doctor’s hood is four feet in length. Hoods are lined with the color or colors of the institution from which the individual received his or her degree. The colored velvet border of the hood, which is three inches for master’s degrees and five inches wide for doctor’s degrees, indicates the faculty or field to which the degree pertains.

White THE COLOR CODE FOR THE MASTERS AND DOCTORAL LEVELS IS AS FOLLOWS: Academic Apparel 18 PacificLutheranUniversityMace For centuries, in academic and ecclesiastical processionals, a mace has been carried by the marshal to symbolize the official opening and closing of a formal event. At the base of the walnut staff is a silver pine cone, made from a casting of a cone found on the PLU campus. Its head has a descending dove, representative of the harmonious presence of the Holy Spirit within the learning community. The cradle bears a plaque which will carry the names of the current and subsequent presidents, as well as the following inscription from Proverbs 4:7,“Wisdom is the principal thing: therefore, get wisdom; Yea, with all thy getting get understanding.” Designed and created by Tom Torrens, former PLU artist-in- residence. The Mace was a gift from President-Emeritus and Mrs. William O. Rieke and family, presented at Commencement, 1976. The Pacific Lutheran University Seal was adopted for use when the institution became a university in September 1960. The PLU seal appears on official university documents, including the diploma. The design incorporates elements that symbolize the university’s heritage and function. The elliptical shape symbolizes the close relationship between the university and the church, which owns and encompasses the school. The ellipse is an ancient Christian sign that indicates the relationship between God and human. The name of the institution and the date of its founding are appropriately placed along the border. Central to the design is the ancient “Chi Rho,” a sign designating Jesus as the Christ and drawn from the cross of the Calvary. The “Chi Rho” is planted in the book, which stands for both the Bible and for the chief tool of the student. Such signs were in common use in the early development of the Christian community. The lamp of learning is traditional in the Western civilization that is our heritage and symbolizes the human search for free knowledge and wisdom. The flame of the lamp illuminates the book. The evergreen tree, perhaps the greatest natural resource of the Pacific Northwest, ties the university to its locale and is symbolic of the abundance of the natural surroundings, as well as our dependence upon it. PacificLutheranUniversitySeal GraduationHonors Candidates receiving graduation honors at commencement wear the PLU Graduation Honors Cord (a single black, gold and white cord). To earn graduation honors, a student must have a cumulative PLU grade point average of 3.50 for Cum laude, 3.75 for Magna cum laude, and 3.90 for Summa cum laude. Graduation honors, as listed in the commencement bulletin, have been calculated on the basis of courses completed through January Term 2009. Final graduation honors, listed on a student’s official transcript and diploma, will be recalculated following the completion of the student’s final term. Participation in a commencement ceremony and/ or inclusion of a student’s name in the commencement bulletin does not indicate that a degree will be awarded. All degree requirements must be successfully completed by the term deadline for a degree to be awarded.
