This year\u2019s schedule included four days of events, on the Great Lawn, and around campus with tours, lectures, special exhibits, class-specific programs, dance parties, dinners, and a special emphasis on celebrating Macalester&#8217;s sesquicentennial. One alum summed it up perfectly: <em>&#8220;This weekend reminded me how we are all part of Macalester whether it has been five, thirty, or fifty years. We live each day in the moment but I see the glory of time here.&#8221;<\/em><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"gmail_signature\" dir=\"ltr\" data-smartmail=\"gmail_signature\">\n<div
