Dedication JOHN C. EIDE 1926-1947 On Friday afternoon, October 10, 1947, books closed quietly and all school activities were suspnded for the weekend, Macalester stu- dents paused to mourn the untimely death of a fellow student. Freshman John Conger Eide had died of injuries sustained in a football scrimmage that afternoon. At an early funeral service, John's classmates, fellow players, and faculty members heard President Charles J. Turck express what many of them were brought to feel that tragic afternoon. alle was doing the thing he most wanted to do, playing the game with the courage and the devotion that his teammates associated with him always .... He never dreamed, of course, that it was his last game, and that his life would end with that game. 4'Our college community and the community of Virginia, Minne- sota, are impoverished by his passing, but our own individual lives, my dear friends, can be enriched and strengthened by the memory of what he was and what he did.

Summer, 1947, and while some Mac- ites Worked and loafed, 466 others pre- pared to forego hot Weather pleasures and financial gains to continue classes through the hot Weather months. Profes- sor Royal A. Moore was in charge of the summer session. Due to the large enrollment, classes were run through the afternoon, thus avoiding Saturday classes, and convoca- tions, instead of on a weekly basis, were presented every other week. Bigelow Hall and the Barracks were used to house the men. and the girls lived in Wallace Hall.
