Dedication Margaret Nl. Doty, Dean of Women In this year as we celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the opening of Macalester College and reflect on the years of its history, it is fitting that the 1960 Mac be dedicated to a woman who has had a great part in that history. a part as student, professor, and dean. As a student, she graduated from Macalester in 19141, re- turning in 1920 as assistant professor of English and became an associate professor of that subject in 1926. She was elected to the position of Dean of Women in 1924, and from that year to this has always had a sympathetic ear and helpful sugges- tions for the many students who have come to her for counsel. Her warm smile and friendly personality are known by all and radiate to every corner of Macalester. There is not one student who has passed even the briefest time on this campus, without feeling her influence. To know her is to feel the true Mac spirit, that which keeps our faculty constant, our ugradsn loyal, and our students enthusiastic. As a friend of the college she is proved. No one knows Macalester better, no one has higher aspirations and hopes for its future, and no one takes a more profound interest in each one of its students. This year she is retiring after forty years of dedicated service to Macalester College. Her absence will be greatly felt in the following years, but the charm and love she has added to the spirit of Macalester will live as long as the College lives and will remain forever in the hearts of those who have known her. It is in deep appreciation for the many years of kind and unsellish service that we proudly and thankfully dedicate this 1960 MAC to you, DEAN MARGARET M. DOTY. 5

A Path of Progress Seventy-five years ago this September, Macalester College opened the doors of what is now the East Wing of Old Main to the first entering Class. The College had origi- nated in the old Winslow House, a famous Summer resort at St. Anthony Falls, and was the outgrowth of Baldwin Academy and Jesus College. In 1874, after a change in the charter, Macalester College was opened as a non-sectarian school of higher learning for men. It continued as such until the Synod of Minnesota of the Presbyteri- an Church, U.S.A., desiring to sponsor such an institution, took over the College. In 1881, the small school was moved from the heart of the thriving business district of Minneapolis to a lonely wind-swept plane on the western outskirts of St. Paul. The formal opening of the new Macalester took place on September 16, 1885. It is this anniversary we celebrate. In the year 1887, the first MAC was published. At the time this book appeared there was at the head of the Department of History a man whose name should mean something to every graduate of Macalester College-without whom, indeed, there would have been no college. This was Dr. Edward D. Neil, founder and first president of the school, a man whose undying enthusiasm for life led him into the Great West in the days before Minnesota had become a state, who established the first Presbyteri- an churches in St. Paulg whose appreciation of education contributed to the founding of many schools, among them the University of Minnesota, the first State Teacher,s College at Winona, and Macalester College.
