FOREWORD Shaded by her chapel ' s inspiring tower, MacAAurray College stands in the heart of historical Jacksonville, Illinois. Founded in 1 846 by a group of Methodist clergymen as the Illinois Female Academy and later renamed MacAAurray College, the former academy admitted its first class of men to a co-ordinate educational college in 1955. Realizing its duty to train the leaders of tomorrow, MacMurray, under the leadership of President Gordon Michalson, recently re- vised her educational offerings in order to of- fer a liberal education to prepare students for the future. In revising her program, however, she still holds to her high academic and re- ligious heritage— a reflection of her past. Stepping into her present era, MacMurray ' s student body awaits the completion of a new $600,000 student center and a new chemistry building. 1964 found the social calendar (including the largest and most successful Homecoming ever held) filled with the usual Christmas cele- brations, dorm functions. Union Board pro- grams and the impromptu Hub-time activities. All colleges may boast of these activities, but the name MacMurray reflects one of the most unique kinships in any college institution. And to this family— the MacMurray Cl an— we dedicate this collegiate record. For in her Clan ' s activities MacMurray ' s every aim and ideal is reflected.
