Macalester was one of the top small colleges in the country back then. Depending on the myriad of rankings, it's still highly ranked. I believe back in the day, 3M was heavily invested in the school.

To Dan's figures a few posts back, I thought I saw where the value of a dollar had increased 723% (?) In all those years.
