Macalester Fund<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Use this name rather than its former name, the Annual Fund. The Macalester Fund is part of the college’s broader Engagement program, which includes Alumni Engagement and Special Events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capitalize when referring to the formal program. Lowercase \u201cfund\u201d in subsequence references.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

maiden name<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

See birth name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

major and minor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lowercase both \u201cmajor\u201d and \u201cminor\u201d and the subject area unless it includes a proper noun: Sarah Smith is a geology major. John Smith is an English major.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MD<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

See doctor.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

middle initials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Avoid except in formal usage, or where someone with a common name (say, John Smith) might be confused with someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be alert to cases in which a middle initial stands in for a woman\u2019s birth name, and substitute the full name for the initial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

months<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

See also dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
