EWG DE The Future of Macalester HAT does your imagination picture for Macalester twenty-five, fifty, or a hundred years hence? The picture will reflect the ideals you now have, and it would be an interesting study could we have a composite photograph of these ideals as they are today in the minds of faculty, alumni, students, and the Presby- terian Church of Minnesota. First: There is the student body. What will be its size and from what homes will the students come? Minnesotals resources are varied and her soil is fertile. If the present density of population in Minnesota were equal to the present average density of the states east of the Mississippi River, more than seven million people would be living now within her borders, and if the student body of Macalester bore the same relation to the population of our state, as it now bears, we would have thirteen hundred students on our campus. What will the result inevitably be in the not far distant future? Secondly: We must prepare for this increase with adequate buildings, and if we are responsive to the demands, we cannot delay the program. When we endeavor to visualize the future campus, two buildings stand out among the others as preeminently typifying the Macalester spirit. One is the gymnasium with the nearby stadium. Macalester College is not only to give the education found in books, but it is for the development of BISHOP H. Scmum-:R a whole man. The gymnasium will not only afford facilities for developing the body, but in connection with the stadium will be a means for training the social instincts. Football is a wonderful and a masterful game. It teaches leader- ship, self-control, daring, caution, and a rigid respect for the rights of others, all essential in developing character. The other building, second in importance to none, is the College Chapel, which will stand for the moral and spiritual development of the student. The only reason Macalester has for existence is that it is a Christian Col- lege. A Christian College is one that believes and teaches that the principles of the Christian religion are the foundation of all character building. Rev. H. C. Swearingen, D.D., recently said, 'flt is individual relation with Jesus Christ that shapes character and determines destiny. A Chapel on our campus will be notice to the world that Macalester stands for this ideal, and that ideal will be daily inspiration to an ever increasing student body for unborn generations yet to come. BISHOP H. SCHRIBER, Secretary of Board of Trustees of Macalester College. ,mc -304 9?
