S HAH' Fl E LD. The climax of a year's splendid growth was reached at the 1909 com- mencement, when the trustees voted 31,200 for the beginning of a new athletic field. Hitherto the athletic field had been overlooked and neglected until it had become probably the poorest field among the Minnesota col- leges. The old board fence could no longer fill the hearts of the urchins with despair, for through its breaches they squeezed and squirmed, lending their cheers and childish enthusiasm to the orange and blue. But that is now a thing of the pastg 353,000 has been expended in constructing a magnificent athletic field that on Sept. 15th, 1909, was dedicated by Prof. Thomas Shaw, the true friend of Macalester and the patron saint oi' athletics throughout her history. The entire field has been graded level and a quarter mile cinder track constructed, that with its 140-yard straight-away is the equal of any in the state. A grandstand with a seating capacity of 400, and a woven wire fence around the entire field are vast improvements over the former equipment. A hedge is to be placed around the fence, which will add to the beauty as well as the utility of the field. Besides the baseball diamond and the football gridiron, the field has ample facilities for all track work, and also has places for several tennis courts. While the old field has meant much to us, we do not regret the pass- ing of it. The victories and defeats associated with it will always remain dear to us and will spur us on to greater efforts on Shaw Field for our Alma Mater, the greater Macalester. 120
