Notes
In 1964 more than 300 people attended the Keffer family reunion, held at Waterloo Lutheran Seminary. It was held in conjunction with the naming of the Keffer Memorial Chapel, located in the Seminary.

The Evangelical Lutheran Seminary of Canada began in 1911. In 1924 Waterloo College was established, providing courses in post-secondary education. In 1960 Waterloo Lutheran University was formed, consisting of Waterloo College and Waterloo Lutheran Seminary. In 1973 the name of the University was changed to Wilfrid Laurier University, with Waterloo Lutheran Seminary as a federated college.
