History

Weyerhauser Memorial Chapel

Macalester had its beginnings in the mid-to-late 1800s due to the efforts of the Rev. Dr. Edward Duffield Neill, who had founded two schools in Saint Paul and nearby Minneapolis which were named after M.W. Baldwin, a locomotive builder and friend of Neill's. With the intention of turning his Saint Paul Baldwin School into a college, Neill turned to Charles Macalester, a businessman from Philadelphia, for sponsorship. Macalester donated a building near Saint Anthony Falls, and the college was chartered in 1874. The college moved to its present location in 1885 after building an endowment and seeking the help of the Presbyterian Church. The College first admitted women in 1893,^[2] and despite being affiliated with a religious institution, remained open to students of other faiths.^[3] Alternative meaning: Nineteenth Century (periodical) (18th century — 19th century — 20th century — more centuries) As a means of recording the passage of time, the 19th century was that century which lasted from 1801-1900 in the sense of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Macalester was largely carried through financial hardship and brought to prominence by Dr. James Wallace, father of DeWitt Wallace. Wallace was acting president of the college from 1894 to 1900, president from 1900 to 1906, and professor until just before his death in 1939. After World War II, the college developed a reputation for internationalism under the presidency of Charles Turck (later the namesake of Turck Hall), who recruited overseas and created a more diverse student body.^[4] Macalester's positive reputation grew during the 1960s, when it consistently drew many National Merit Scholars, enough to come in at the country's top ten; during this time the college also benefitted heavily from DeWitt Wallace's success with Reader's Digest.^[5] Macalester continued to develop into the '90s, building its endowment and adding new facilities and equipment.

Macalester's reputation has grown within the last 20 years with the addition of newer facilities, such as the DeWitt Wallace Library, and the growth of the endowment to among the largest among liberal arts colleges in the United States.^[6] The college has also extensively developed its ties to the Twin Cities, with an extensive focus on community service and involvement.^[7] Recent years have brought much new development as well as controversy. Many buildings have been extensively renovated and a new athletic facility is planned to be completed by the fall of 2008. In addition, Macalester has recently created the Institute for Global Citizenship.^[8] The Institute and other administrative decisions, however, such as the college's highly charged decision to cease need-blind admissions to the college, have led to some level of student protest and anger on campus.^[9] In addition, a recent student party with a politically incorrect theme drew much controversy, as well as coverage in the national media.^[10] These events have played a part in the continuing evolution of the college's status and image.

Residence Halls

• Dupre Hall, which houses first-year students and sophomores, is advertised as being able to withstand a hurricane. The building plans were supposedly bought for a discounted price because they were originally designed for a coastal climate.

All-gender housing

Recently, Macalester has made news by offering limited gender open housing options for juniors and seniors. George Draper Dayton Hall, the Grand-Cambridge Apartments, and the six cottages are all gender open. Gender-open housing options still do not provide the opportunity for students of opposite sexes to share a room without a door between. Hence, gender-open housing is only available in suites and cottage type living situations and has not been integrated into the main residence hall buildings. However, this does mean that students of different biological sex still cannot share a room together, without a locking door between them. There is no current concrete administrative plan in place for moving to a gender-open by room living situation. Student-led groups are working to increase these options and make gender-open bathrooms available, particularly for incoming first-year students. As of 2007 no first-year residence halls offer any gender-neutral bathroom options.

Food services

Food services on campus are provided by Bon Appetít, a national company. The cafeteria, located in the Ruth Stricker Dayton Campus Center, is named "Café Mac." There are three meal plans for students who live on campus (except those in theme houses or co-ops). The standard option (and the mandatory one for new students) is 19 all-you-can-eat meals per week. For the same price, 10 or 14 meal plans are available that offer additional flexible "dining dollars" for a la cart meals. Cafe Mac offers vegan options at all stations.

Traditions

An anonymous student painted the rock during the fall of 2006 in protest of administrative decisions.

• The Rock on campus, which was moved around and painted by many students after first being rolled onto campus in 1908, was at one point stolen by students from Carleton College of Northfield and mailed back to Macalester COD, and is now cemented into the ground on the college's main quad.
• Ringing the Bell outside the Weyerhaeuser building is a rite of passage for students who have freshly shed their on-campus virginity. When it is struck, there is often a general cheering response in the dorms. It is often incorrectly assumed that total virginity must be lost on campus to warrant ringing the bell. The bell was given to Edward Duffield Neill, the College's founder, by friends when he opened a boy's school called St. Paul College in 1856.
• Traditional events include the Christmas Candlelight Service, the Founders' Day Gala celebrating the anniversary of the college's founding, an annual lamb roast on the day of the first snow of winter, and the all-day Springfest, an outdoor festival featuring bands, food, and other activities.
• Near exam week, there is the Midnight Breakfast, in which faculty and staff members serve waffles and other breakfast food to the students. This tradition returned in the fall of 2005, but was held at an earlier time in the evening. In the past streaking at the Midnight Breakfast had been a longstanding tradition. This has been discouraged by the administration.

• Also, in the past, the college has offered free massages to students during exam week to help relieve stress.
