Employees and students of Loma Linda University Health regularly hear and read the phrase “to make man whole” — the motto of the organization. But from when and where did those words arise?
They date to the 50th anniversary of Loma Linda University, celebrated in 1955. A planning committee met regularly throughout 1954 to plan for the year ahead, and one of their goals was to choose a theme for the year that would encapsulate the organization’s first 50 years.
Last week’s trivia challenge was to name the theme they chose. The random winners among those who answered “to make man whole” are Arnie Salgado, Janelle Weller and Mignon Mosley. Please email pr@llu.edu to claim your prize, which must be picked up within 60 days.
That theme became Loma Linda University Health’s official motto in 1956.
In addition to the 50th anniversary theme becoming a permanent part of the campus culture, a physical fixture was added to the campus in connection with the golden anniversary. It is still found today at the Founders Plaza. This week’s two-part question: What is it, and what organization does it commemorate?
Email the answer to pr@llu.edu by midnight Tuesday, April 14, for the chance to become a random winner. One answer per person.
