The Centennial Year of Colorado Christian University was a significant time of celebration, not only because of who we were in 2014-15, but also because of the rich legacy of our heritage institutions and the people who envisioned and guided them. These people lived out their callings to facilitate their institution's growth and success, sometimes in the face of extreme challenges. Clifton L. Fowler's vision to start a Bible School in Denver was, in his own words, "rolled on him" by the Lord. It was a great vision. From our 100 year retrospection, we can see that it was only a fragment of the vision in the mind of the Lord who used His chosen servants throughout these 100 years to accomplish His amazing purposes. In good and difficult times, we can see that in spite of the inadequacies of each person involved in the operations of the institutions, thousands of students have passed through these many halls of learning and have gone out and changed their worlds. We chose the phrase "Celebrating 100 Years of God's Faithfulness" for our Centennial Year theme, acknowledging the reality that Colorado Christian University exists as a testimony to that truth.

Authored by award-winning historian Jock Phillips, The History of New Zealand in 100 Objects is gripping, inclusive, often revelatory and deeply human. A colourful and characterful retelling of our shared past, relevant to today, particular to all of us. The sewing kete of an unknown 18th-century Maori woman; the Endeavour cannons that fired on waka in 1769; the bagpipes of an Irish publican Paddy Galvin; the school uniform of Harold Pond, a Napier Tech pupil in the Hawke’s Bay quake; the Biko shields that tried to protect protestors during the Springbok tour in 1981; Winston Reynolds’ remarkable home-made Hokitika television set, the oldest working TV in the country; the soccer ball that was a tribute to Tariq Omar, a victim of the Christchurch Mosque shootings, and so many more – these are items of quiet significance and great personal meaning, taonga carrying stories that together represent a dramatic, full-of-life history for everyday New Zealanders.

Commemorations that shaped major elements of Spanish identity at the beginning of the 20th century are full of centennials and anniversaries that elaborate and renew the Spanish national mythology. In Centennial Fever Javier Moreno-Luzón, one of the most prominent Spanish historians of his generation, studies the milestones that defined transnational dimensions of celebration at the beginning of the 20th century including the Peninsular War, the first Spanish Constitution, the independence of Latin American States, the “discovery” of the Pacific Ocean and the death of Miguel de Cervantes and the publication of Don Quixote of La Mancha. Through these truly global events, a cultural community is created, called “Hispanoamerica” or “La Raza”, on which Spanish nationalism has become dependent.
