Founded in 1874, Macalester has a long history of strong
academics, global representation in the student body and involvement in
the issues of the world.
An international outlook has long been a distinctive feature
of Macalester's approach to the liberal arts and sciences,
enriching not only academics, but also the day-to-day life
of students. Students from around the world have been a part
of Macalester's student body since World War I. The college
has flown the United Nations flag since 1950.
Over sixty years ago, former Macalester president Charles
J. Turck wrote, "We are living now in a world that must
be a world of brotherhood or it will cease to be. All thought,
all ideas, all high hopes and great expections must have their
natural lodging here among the wise, the poets and the singers
who make up the faculty and the student body of this beloved
college."
