In 1910, the Lutheran Synod established a seminary, which opened to students in 1911, as the Evangelical Lutheran Theological Seminary of Eastern Canada.[6] In 1914 the seminary developed non-theological courses under the name “the Waterloo College School”. In 1924, the Waterloo College of Arts was established. Waterloo College of Arts became affiliated with the University of Western Ontario (“Western”) in 1925 and soon began to offer honours degree programs in the arts.[8] In 1960, the Lutheran church relinquished its sponsorship of Waterloo College obtained a revised charter changing the name of the seminary to Waterloo Lutheran University. On November 1, 1973, the name was again changed to Wilfrid Laurier University when the relevant provincial law was given Royal Assent by the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario Ross Macdonald, who later served as Laurier’s Chancellor.[9] Waterloo Lutheran University’s seminary and theological programs continued to be offered by the affiliated Waterloo Lutheran Seminary (now Martin Luther University College).

Laurier’s school colours, purple and gold, extend from its early affiliation with Western; originally maroon and gold, the school adopted purple in lieu of maroon to honour its link with Western, whose colours were purple and white. While Laurier’s colours remain, it ended its affiliation with Western in 1960.
