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. 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.
