CYRUS NORTHROP PREFACE This year is a very spec ial year. 1966 marks ihe fiftieth anniversary of Northrop Collegiate School. Northrop has grown and changed considerably since 1916, and it will grow and change further in the years to come. Yet. behind Northrop’s ever changing physical appearance there rests a philosophy and spirit that has remained the same throughout the years. This philosophy is contained in these words: Tuo Nisu Pro redere. The school is fundamentally based on tradition. Northrop’s fiftieth graduating class can feel a special kinship with the alumnae of the past and future, and they share with them a loyalty to and love for Northrop. I he 1966 Taller is a fond ga c at the past, a realistic chronicle of the present, and an eager glimpse into the future. 3

HISTORY OF NORTHROP SCHOOL The building that today houses Northrop Collegiate School was built in 1916. The school itself, however, existed sixteen years prior to this time under the name of Graham Hall. Graham Hall, located at 1800 First Avenue South, was a boarding school and it enjoyed such facilities as horseback riding which we no longer have. On the other hand, Graham Hall was very similar to Northrop in curriculum, school spirit, and tradition. Many of the traditions we honor today such as the Old Girl’s Party for the New were begun at Graham Hall. Eventually, as Graham Hall took in more and more girls, the old buildings became unable to accommodate the growing school. Arrangements were made for the construction of a new school on Kenwood Parkway which was to be called Northrop Collegiate School in honor of Cyrus Northrop, the distinguished president of the University of Minnesota, who was at that time retiring. Northrop in 1916 consisted only of the center building and the east wing. Because there was no residence area in the new building, the school was made a day school although home accommodations near the school were provided for the few students who did not reside in Minneapolis. Northrop was, also, at this time, a one year junior college. In 1923 a west wing which included the Upper School gymnasium, locker rooms, a music wing, and study halls w as added to the school. The third floor of the wing, however, was left unfmished for future expansion. 5
