Our mission is to maintain and improve the beauty, serenity, and security of the area surrounding the campus of Macalester College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The High Winds Fund was established in 1956 through an initial gift to Macalester College from DeWitt Wallace in order to sustain property values during a time of suburban sprawl. Mr. Wallace had seen this cause challenges at other urban colleges and university neighborhoods around the country. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Macalester College is a unique institution \u2013 a nationally respected liberal arts college in the heart of a thriving urban environment. The High Winds Fund helps to support and improve that critical environment for the benefit of Macalester\u2019s students, faculty, staff, and neighbors.<\/p>\n\n\n
