The M'acaIcstc1'lllfic-Mac. A HISTORY OF MACALESTER. The Present is the living sum-total of the Past. Compara- tively speaking Macalester College is a young institution, and, in consequence, is not surrounded by all the fascination and dignity which age alone can give. ft has a history, however, which, in the manifold elements that combined to create it, in its fortunes and misfortunes, is of unusual interest. It is a history whose pages are indelibly stamped with the sacrifices of men whose souls were filled with zealous devotion to the cause of Christian education and who have overcome almost insurmountable difficulties with loyal determination and at last brought Macalester to the thresh- hold of the New Era. Nothing perhaps can so successfully show how much the Macalester of the present owes to the Macalester of the past than an outline of its history, though it be but brief. Macalester College is the outgrowth of the Baldwin School projected by the Rev. Dr. Edward D. Neill, the first Presbyterian minister resident in St. Paul. and in February, 1853, it was incor- porated by the Minnesota Legislature. the first chartered institu- tion of learning in the state supported- by private benevolence. In the year 1873, Charles Macalester of Philadelphia, Pa., ex- pressed a willingness to give a large building in Minneapolis, on what is now the site of the Exposition Building, known as the 'fXVinslow House,' to enable the Rev. E. D. Neill to lay the foun- dation of a college for young men on the plan of the New England colleges, under trustees of his selection. A board was formed like that of Princeton College, two-thirds of which were also trustees of Baldwin School. ln 1874, the corporate name of the Baldwin institution was changed to the Trustees of Macalester Collegeu by an amendatory act of the legislature, with the provision that the Preparatory Department should be known as the' Baldwin School. ' At the meeting of the Synod of Minnesota held at St. Peter in Qctober, 1880, the Rev. Daniel Rice, D. D., made a report, a portion of which is as follows: The Committee of Synod on an educational institution beg leave to report: Page I2
