The rich spectrum of faith traditions, core commitments, and beliefs represented in the Luther community help us embody our shared calling to be rooted and open as a community of faith and learning.

Sacred Scriptures, Timothy Freke (Theosophical Publishing, 1998).

To Luther let us singA joyous song of love and cheer.
May our voices loudly ring In praise of Alma Mater dear.
May our thoughts to thee oft turn When we’re absent far away. May we then sincerely yearn
To return to thee someday.

EL IZ A BE T H A . A N D PAU L G. J EN SO N M EDA LIn affirmation of the Luther mission, the Elizabeth A. and Paul G. Jenson Medal is presented to an outstanding senior, selected by the graduating class, who best demonstrates the ideals of the college through service to students and to the college community. The Jenson Medal was established through an endowment gift from Luther alumni Elizabeth (Dybdal) ’49 and Paul Jenson ’48 of Vassalboro, Maine.
LUTHER COLLEGE BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREEAny student who aspires toward a bachelor of arts degree from Luther College must be formally admitted to the degree program by the Faculty Admissions Committee. To qualify for a degree, a student must earn at least 128 semester hours of credit at a level of proficiency specified by the faculty. Slightly more than one-third of these hours must be applied toward fulfillment of a system of general requirements determined by the faculty; slightly less than one-third must be applied toward fulfillment of requirements for a major prescribed by the faculty of a student’s major discipline; the remainder are considered elective hours, to be acquired in classes selected by the student in consultation with a faculty advisor.
The registrar of the college reviews the academic records of all senior students to determine whether degree requirements have been fulfilled. The registrar then brings a roster of candidates before an assembly of department heads for their approval. The dean of the college, acting on behalf of the faculty, recommends to the Board of Regents that approved candidates be awarded the diploma. The president, by the authority vested in her by the Board of Regents, then confers the degree.
Students who complete degree requirements with a cumulative grade point average of 3.90 and above are awarded the degree summa cum laude; those with an average of 3.70 to 3.899, magna cum laude; and those with an average of 3.50 to 3.699, cum laude.
ACA D EMIC T R A DIT IO N A N D R EG A LIASince 1866, when the eight members of Luther’s first graduating class were awarded their degrees, Luther College has conferred before today a total of 30,785 bachelor of arts degrees, 526 certificates in education, and 231 honorary degrees. Commencement exercises have been held successively in the chapel of the first Main Building, the frame gymnasium, C.K. Preus Gymnasium, Nustad Field, the Luther Field House, Carlson Stadium, and, as of today, across the country and around the globe.
Luther College traces its academic lineage to the medieval University of Copenhagen, Denmark (founded 1479). Following the Reformation, Copenhagen was reorganized as a Lutheran university in 1537 by graduates of Wittenberg in Germany. At that time, the Copenhagen and Wittenberg faculties (including Martin Luther in Wittenberg) wore academic garb almost identical to what is worn today at Luther College. For more than 300 years, Copenhagen was the only university in Denmark and Norway. By 1811, the Royal Fredrik University had been established in Oslo, Norway, by graduates of Copenhagen. Fifty years later, in 1861, graduates of Royal Fredrik University established Luther College as the university’s first daughter institution in the New World.
From the three items of academic attire—the cap, gown, and hood—it is possible to distinguish the institution from which the wearer graduated, the field of learning in which his or her degree was earned, and the level of degree—bachelor, master, or doctorate.

The cap, originally round, is now a square black mortarboard, standard at most colleges and universities in the United States. Its distinguishing feature is the color of the tassel—black for holders of bachelor’s and master’s degrees, gold for doctoral degrees and the governing officers of educational institutions.
The gown is also usually black, although the chief officers of many universities wear colored gowns, and several institutions have authorized doctoral gowns that embody the institution’s colors. The level of degree is indicated by the gown’s cut. The bachelor’s gown is full with a closed front and long, pointed sleeves. The master’s gown is open in the front with square-cut sleeves that reach nearly to the wearer’s knees. The doctoral gown is open in the front with velvet collar, front panels, and three bars on each sleeve.
In the United States, the hood is the most distinctive feature of academic attire. The cape is worn at the back, suspended from the shoulders. The length of the hood and the width of the velvet border indicate the level of degree held. The length of the bachelor’s hood is three feet, and the velvet border is two inches. The hood for the master’s degree is three and one-half feet long with a three-inch border. The doctoral hood is four feet long, and the border five inches wide.
The color of the hood’s velvet border indicates the field of learning in which the degree was earned. In assigning the distinctive colors, the Intercollegiate Commission retained many historical associations. The white border for arts and letters is taken from the white fur trim of the Oxford and Cambridge bachelor of arts hood. The royal purple of King’s Court signifies law. Blue, the color of wisdom and truth, signifies philosophy. The color chosen for the fine arts is brown; for music, pink; for science, gold; for business administration, drab; for education, light blue; for physical education, sage green; for divinity, scarlet; for economics, copper; for library science, lemon; for oratory (speech), silver green; for nursing, apricot; and for social work, citron. The hood’s lining indicates the university that conferred the degree through the use of the official colors of that institution.
Luther College currently has chapters in several national and international honor societies.
Honor society membership criteria are established by the national offices and local chapters. Some seniors inducted into honor societies wear honor cords or stoles representing their membership. The honor societies, academic discipline, and representative colors are Phi Beta Kappa (liberal arts—pink and sky blue), Lambda Alpha (anthropology—blue and yellow), Chi Alpha Sigma (athletics—black and gold), Beta Beta Beta (biology—red and green), Eta Sigma Phi (classics—purple and gold), Lambda Pi Eta (communication studies—gold or red and white), Omicron Delta Epsilon (economics—royal blue and yellow), Sigma Tau Delta (English—cardinal and black), Pi Delta Phi (French—blue, white, and red), Delta Phi Alpha (German—black, red, and gold), Phi Alpha Theta (history—madonna red and blue), Alpha Mu Alpha (marketing—red), Pi Mu Epsilon (mathematics—violet, gold, and lavender), Pi Kappa Lambda (music—gold and white), Sigma Pi Sigma (physics—green and ivory), Pi Sigma Alpha (political science—red, white, and black), Psi Chi (psychology—blue and gold), Phi Alpha (social work—royal blue and light gold), and Sigma Delta Pi (Spanish—red and yellow). A variety of other groups award stoles for nonacademic recognition. The list above includes academic honors only.
