And what it is it has come to be from nothing or next to it in ’75. The Founders? Oh, they are too big men to mention in this brief note. There are whole cyclopaedia articles and books being written about them these days. They were sturdy men who lived sturdy lives and did a sturdy work. Park College must stand sturdily for the Park College idea if she stands true to them and her heritage. J. E. M’AFEE, ’89. Mackay Building. The corner stone of Mackay was laid Commencement Day, 1887.
