At the West Gate entrance to campus, you'll find McAlister Hall, formerly the home of the Wheaton Conservatory of Music and which now houses the Modern and Classical Languages program.
A major portion of the funds for the McAlister building were donated by the estate of Amelie McAlister Upshur in memory of her father, William H. McAlister. Another contribution to the building fund was made by Charles B. Phillips of Aurora, Illinois which helped complete this building in 1962.
