has abstract	Charles Macalester II (1798–1873) was a businessman, Presbyterian Church philanthropist, and namesake of Macalester College in Minnesota. Macalester was born in Philadelphia on February 17, 1798, to immigrant parents from Scotland; his father was a shipping merchant originally from Argyll, Scotland, and his mother from Perth, Scotland. As a teenager, he led a company of forty boys who constructed a fort on the Schuylkill during the War of 1812. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. From 1821 to 1827, he worked as a merchant in Cincinnati, Ohio, before returning to Philadelphia. On August 24, 1832, his father died, leaving Macalester a large estate. Macalester retired as a merchant in 1849, but continued buying and selling securities and real estate. In the 1870s, Rev. Dr. Edward Duffield Neill turned to Macalester for sponsorship for the failing institution in Minnesota known as Jesus College. Macalester donated a building near Saint Anthony Falls, and the college was chartered in 1874. The college moved to its present location, on Snelling Avenue at Grand Avenue in St. Paul, in 1885 after building an endowment and seeking the help of the Presbyterian Church. Macalester also served as president of the Orthopedic Hospital and the St. Andrew's Society. Macalester had one son and one daughter. He died at his home in Philadelphia on December 9, 1873. He was interred in a mausoleum at Laurel Hill Cemetery, Philadelphia, in Section 10, Lot 45. In his will, he bequeathed $5,000 for Presbyterian missions, $5,000 for the Presbyterian Board of Education, and $5,000 for the Fund for Disabled Ministers of the Presbyterian church. He also left a large property to Macalester College, and other charitable bequests. (en)
