Alma College and Scotland, U.S.A. (City of Alma) are so intimately connected that
they are practically synonymous. It is difficult to think about the city without
thinking of Alma College. The renowned liberal arts college of 1400 full-time students
is the showplace of the community. It is located on a 100 acre campus in the center of
the city. It was founded in 1886 and has provided a profound intellectual and cultural
infusion into the entire life of the city.

The Scottish traditions of Alma College after 113 years are rich and add to the
institution's unique character. The athletic teams are referred to as ''the Scots'',
the marching band is ''a Kiltie Band'' wearing a uniform of MacPherson Kilts and the
college even has its own officially registered tartan. The Scottish arts including
bagpiping and Highland dancing are featured in many Alma College ceremonies.

The annual Alma Highland Festival and Games is held each year on the campus of Alma
College which, of course, is completely appropriate for the Scottish atmosphere.
