The Qllullegz ACALESTER CQLLEGE orig- inated in the old XYinslow House, a famous summer resort at St. Anthony Falls, and was the outgrowth of Baldwin Academy and Jesus College. Dr. lidward Neill, the Minnesota pioneer mis- sionary and educator, with the aid of Mr. Charles Macalester, a wealthy philan- thropist, in 1874, planned Macalester Col- lege, a non-sectarian school of higher learning for men. ln 1880 the college passed under Pres- byterian control. The trustees of Ma- calester had donated the forty acres on which the college now stands and in l884 there was erected what is now known as the East NVing of the present Main Build- ing. This was the first two story brick edihce in Minnesota to be dedicated to education. One year later the college was opened to registration, and before 1898 it had graduated one hundred men students. ln 1893 the college was made co-educational. The school grew rapidlyg the Board of Trustees was reorganized: endowment campaigns were launched, and Carnegie Science Hall and XYallace Hall, dormitory for women, were erected. Since then prosperity has increased the enrollment and faculty and has necessitated the erec- tion of more buildings: the Gymnasium, Kirk Hall, men's dormitory, Central Heating Plant, and the President's resi- dence.
