The scenic mall around which Alma’s academic building are clustered is named in honor of Charles S. and Marion F. McIntyre of Monroe. Mr. McIntyre was a member of the Board of Trustees from 1952 to 1982.
The mall, originally identified in 1974, was renovated in 2004 and an obelisk was added that features four important areas of the College’s history — the founding resolution by the Presbyterian Synod of Michigan to establish the College, the introduction of the College into the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association in 1902, the alma mater written by Dr. Roy Hamilton in 1922, and a plaque that honors the McIntyre Foundation for its support of the College.
