By the 1950s, Luther College had become known for its commitment to education and community. While numerous Luther students lived in residence, many more lived at home in Regina and attended classes during the day. It was in this post-war period that Luther also began to attract international students, adding valuable diversity to its hallways and classrooms. By 1963, 50 years after the opening of Luther Academy, enrolment was fixed at 360 students.  The staff of three that began at Melville had grown to include over 15 full-time faculty members. Together, the students and staff established traditions and built Luther’s well-known school spirit. Encompassing every aspect of the Luther experience, that spirit endures today. It is found in the ordinary, everyday interactions between members of the Luther community as well as in the extraordinary ones, such as All-College Banquets, Christmas Candlelight Services, and LIT Blitz nights.
