The Ordway-Macalester Connection 

Richard Ordway, Katharine’s brother, served as a Trustee of Macalester during the era 
when members of all of St. Paul’s high-profile families sat on the Board.[68]  As a 
major stockholder in his father’s 3M corporation, Ordway fit right in.  Richard was a 
highly educated man, having attended St. Paul Academy and then Yale.  During the 
1960’s, he was a prominent member (and often, the chairman) of countless 
organizations and committees in the Twin Cities, and in 1961 he was elected Chair of 
Macalester’s Development Council (which was founded in 1956, and had already 
raised $11,114,787 in its first five years).[69]  Ultimately, Richard was the one to 
request a donation to Macalester from his sister.

Richard Ordway’s daughter, Pondie Nicholson, followed her father on Macalester’s 
Board of Trustees, along with her husband, and they were followed by their son, Ford 
Nicholson, who is currently a Trustee at Macalester and also an alumnus.  According 
to Hill, the Ordways continue to have a “very strong” relationship with Macalester.[70]
