The Centennial year at Abilene Christian University has had many different meanings to the various people at
ACU. To some, it simply meant a Centennial logo on their Dr. Pepper cans or a reason to enjoy a sea of purple and
white balloons and confetti. To many others, it was a chance to celebrate their time at ACU and remember friends,
professors and stories from their college days.
As the Prickly Pear looks back at the past 100 years of the university's history, it is our privilege to honor the
thousands of people, commitments and sacrifices that have made ACU the university it is today. Most of all, we
honor the legacy of faith and commitment to God that so many have passed down as a witness to the future generations
of ACU students and faculty.
While students, faculty, staff, friends and alumni take a look back at the stories and lives of those who have come
before us, we also look forward to the next 100 years. The theme for the Centennial year has been"Called to Faith
and Excellence'." We hope as you remember the events of the Centennial year and the events of the past 100 years,
you are reminded of the common faith and calling we have as a university and as Christians.
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and
the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us'" Hebrews 12:1
