It's a Mitzva to stand up when a person over 70 enters the room.
It's a Mitzva to stand up when a Torah scholar enters the room, even if he's not old.
It's also a Mitzva to honor ones Torah teachers.
Applies to everybody, everywhere, always.
Pasuk: "Stand up for the elder and respect the wise" (Vayikra 19:32)
