In 1886 the Presbyterian Synod of Michigan accepted 30 acres of land and two buildings donated by Alma resident Ammi W. Wright and a $50,000 gift from Alexander Folsom of Bay City to establish Alma College.Classes began in September of 1886 for 95 students and nine faculty members. After 113 years, Alma College has grown to a 100-acre campus with 24 major buildings and 1,400 students from 20 states and six foreign countries. The number of faculty members has grown to 82 full-time and 62 part-time faculty; the student to faculty ratio is a low 13:1. Alma College has developed a number of Scottish traditions which add to the institution's unique character. The Alma College Kiltie Marching Band was named due to their standard uniform of MacPherson kilts. The Scottish arts, including bagpiping and highland dancing, are featured in many Alma College ceremonies. The College even has its own officially registered tartan.
