Professor Philip A. Nordquist’s book of the first 100 years of Pacific Lutheran University, Educating for Service, is published to commemorate the university’s centennial.

The title of the book reflects PLU's centennial theme.

Loren J. Anderson becomes Pacific Lutheran University's new (and current) president.

Raised in North Dakota, Anderson comes to PLU after graduating from Concordia College in Minnesota and then serving as the vice president of that college for 16 years.

Mary Baker Russell and George Lagerquist, major donors to the building, visit during the construction of the Mary Baker Russell Music Center, which includes Lagerquist Concert Hall.

King Harald V and Queen Sonja of Norway visit PLU. The queen receives an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters.
