The Mac, Nineteen-Ten 9 1885-1910 Hli advent of the year book of the class of IQTO signifies much to those who have followed the history and rise of Macalester, with its sacrihce and labor. The coming 'round of that year means that our college has finished its quarter century of effort and that now we start towards the half centennial mark. Twenty-live years have seen Macalester make a wonderful growth. They have seen it develop from a most humble beginning, through long years of disappointment and discouragemient for its friends, until novv it seems about to enter into a season of assured success, growth, financial backing, and con-- tinued high scholarship. They have seen the completion of a half million endowment g they have seen the broadening of the college by additional build- ings and beautilied campusg they have passed by while a loya.l band of alumni have been going forth to show the fruits of Macalester labor. And now we look forward and have our day dreams of what the next twenty-live years shall witness in this institution, so dear to us all. Roll back that curtain which keeps us from. the storehouse of the future, and behold the greater Macalester! Between the young ladies' clorinitoiries on the west, with XYallace hall as the nucleus, and the men's buildings to the east on the revered ground of old llutrofphian, is a green banked bo-ulevard and drive from Summit ,Xvenue to the entrance of the old Matin. .Xt the Summit entrance are marvelously wrought iron gates which give vision of the vista leading to the college. Promiena.ding flown the drive toward the Main we pass by and admire to the left of us the new library building and nearby auditorium and chapel. To the right rises the science hall, with a central heating plant and a building for auxiliary recitation rooms. The music conservatory is another artistic building on the right side, while the mien's gymnasium is correspondingly placed on the left. To the rear of the main college building is the athletic held, with tennis courts filling up the remaining space to the border of the park running through to St. Clair Street. .Xnd what a. beautiful space is this-natural scenery aided, not spoiled! A gravel-bedded lake is in the center with shady paths amidst the trees, and here and there an inviting bench. You say my .picture is ideal--it isg but even as is man-for what is an institution without a dreamy future! Future means development, development means possibilities, and the next ascending step is fact-the realization of the new and greater Macalester. W. B.
