Conclusion
Calgaard devoted all available talent and resources to recruiting a better faculty and administrative team, expanding the physical campus, elevating admission standards, building an endowment, and recruiting a more diverse, academically accomplished student body. More specifically, the renovations that catapulted Trinity to its superior status would not have happened if it wasn’t for his influence. In an interesting article about the summary of Dr. Calgaard’s accomplishments, he once said, “The ingredients of success are present. Our achievements will depend on the quality of our vision and the depth and worth of our performance, (Rivard, 2020)” to the Trinity community in his prescient inaugural address on February 15, 1980. Tying back to Trinity’s athletic community, appreciate how far they have come and the earned success but always keep in consideration what has happened in the past.
