History of Macalester College e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. My aim has been to present an accurate narra tive of the origin, struggle and growth of the college. I have kept in mind Ranke's rule that the historian must show how events came to pass, Wie es eigentlich gewesen ist, and not be a mere chronicler of events. I am aware, however, that the realization of such objective history is conditioned by the mental pecul iarities oi the writer, and that every narrative is really a description of events as seen through the mind of the historian. I offer this book to the pub lic realizing its imperfections, yet conscious that I have made an earnest endeavor to write an unbiased account.
