Pacific Lutheran College dedicated their new $200,000 Science Hall. PLC administrators invited Dr. Conrad Bergendoff, President of Augustana College and Seminary at Rock Island, Illinois as the guest speaker for the event. Pacific Lutheran had grown and enrollment had increased. More than 1,200 students, staff, faculty and guests gathered together to celebrate the new building (Saga, 1948).
