Completed by librarian Cleo Hanthorne Moon and mimeographed into 14 copies in 1945, the result was an encyclopedia-styled work called Graceland Firsts. During the 1940-41 school year, a student honor society called the Lambda Delta Sigma Society initiated research on the backgrounds of the myriad of stuff that had become a part of campus life in its first five decades. The Graceland College Book of Knowledge was designed as a commemoration of the college’s centennial, but it actually had its roots way back with the celebration of Graceland’s 50th anniversary. It’s like freshman orientation all over again.

How did the campus develop? Who is this person who shares a name with that building? When did that student organization begin? How did that campus tradition get its start? What changes occurred during the time I wasn’t here? Well, hang on to your blue and gold socks, because you’re about to find out almost everything you ever wanted to know about Graceland College. Either way, your visit can’t help but to spur some questions about the place.

Or maybe you’re one of the people to spend your entire college career as a Gracelander. Maybe you’ve only seen Graceland College during a 20-minute stopover while touring Interstate 35. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them.O remember my son, and learn wisdom in thy youth yea, learn in thy youth to keep the commandments of God yea, and cry unto God for thy support. Therefore, verily I say unto you, my friends, Call your solemn assembly, as I have commanded you and as all have not faith, seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom seek learning even by study, and also by faith. logo, Graceland Engineers Club logo, Victory Bell, Audentia House mascot, Nursing seal, Tess Morgan with Acacia, Sherri Kirkpatrick, Velma Ruch with Through The West Door, Athenian Federation of Literary Societies symbol, Roy Cheville, Bill Gould, and Roscoe Faunce.
