The Very Reverend Henry E. Greenlee, O.S.A., S.T.D., Rector Provincial of the Province of St.

Thomas of Villanova, is Chairman of the Board of Trustees. A true friend of Merrimack, Father Greenlee brings to his high administrative office a wealth of experience gained through many years in college classrooms.

Trustees: Fathers Vincent A. McQuade, O.S.A., James M. Hurley, O.S.A., the late John B. Martin, O.S.A., Henry E. Greenlee, O.S.A., Patrick J. Campbell,

O.S.A., John J. Daley, O.S.A., and Thomas F. Walsh, O.S.A. A Brief . Resume On . . How can one relate the history of an institution?

The story of Merrimack College is so much more than that. The dreams of so many courageous people, the foresight and driving enthusiasm of His Excellency,

Archbishop Richard J. Cushing, and the Augustinian Fathers, the sacrifice and confidence of the business and civic leaders of the Merrimack Valley, the con- tinued and divine guidance and assistance from Christ the Teacher and His Holy Mother—these are the glories of Merrimack. Shortly following the close of World War II, a meeting was called of the veteran’s educational panel of a Haverhill Labor-Management Committee under the

direction of J. Leo Cronin. The problem in point was the anticipated overflow of students in colleges and universities following the return of thousands of veterans seeking higher education. The members of the committee decided that the ideal solution would be a college in the Merrimack Valley. A consultation with

the Most Reverend Richard J. Cushing followed. The Archbishop accepted the idea and shortly thereafter announced that the Augustinian Fathers would assume the tremendous task of founding and staffing the newly conceived institution. The Very Reverend Vincent A. McQuade, O.S.A., Ph.D., a man of boundless energy the Veteran’s Bureau at Villanova, accepted the re- and dynamic personality, then serving as Chairman of sponsibilities of President of Merrimack College. Father McQuade and the trustees formulated their plans and on April 27, 1947, received the charter from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts that made Merri- mack College a reality.

Construction was begun on the first building of the new college in the summer of 1947. On September 22 at St. Augustine’s Church in Andover, Archbishop Cushing presided over the dedication ceremonies which were celebrated by the Very Reverend Mortimer A. Sullivan, the late Prior Provincial. A week later classes began in Guild Hall which housed class rooms, offices, library and chapel. The first student body con- sisted of one hundred and sixty-five members; the initial faculty numbered fourteen. The desire for accomplishment and the avid spirit of this group resulted in the beginnings of the Fraternity of the Holy Name, the Student Council, the Glee Club, and the Annual Retreat. The following year, 1948, proved to be a successful one. Parents of the students and friends of the college united to organize the Association of Merrimack Col- lege. They wasted no time in proving their sincerity and on June 4, 1948, held a mammoth Penny Sale at the Lawrence Memorial Stadium. Proceeds from the sale were utilized for the construction of a new gym- nasium which was begun in the fall of the same year.

Sullivan Hall: The Liberal Arts building houses the classrooms and laboratories for Business Administration, Biol- ogy and Nursing courses as well as the canteen and the book- store.

mDEAN LIBERAL ARTS

\ liberal arts education is that type of higher learning and cultural advancement which encourages the student to delve into the main fields of

knowledge. The curriculum is carefully and specially planned to give the

individual a full, well-balanced education. The liberal arts course develops every aspect of the human being, the physical body, the spiritual soul and the intellectual processes of the mind.

The program of studies offered by the Business Administration Department gives the student a varied training of the procedures vital to the business sector of society. Broad cultural courses are integrated

with concentrations in the fields of Marketing, Accounting, and Busi-

ness Management. The objective of such a curriculum is to produce potential executives. Today’s world of business demands such a type; one who can think, who possesses the fundamental professional com-

petence, who is alive to the problems of contemporary society, and,

most of all, one whose motivation is dominated by the Christian ethical and cultural values upon which our civilization depends.

With the rapici growth of industry in this country in the past few years, there has arisen a great need for technically trained men and

women who are capable of putting to practical use all the new scien-

tific discoveries. With this demand for engineers in mind, Merrimack

College established a Division of Engineering in the fall of 1951. Since that time, the engineering division has grown by leaps and bounds and now courses are offered in both Civil and Electrical En-

gineering. Because Merrimack is also a Liberal Arts College, the

humanities are not forgotten and each aspirant engineer is required

to elect courses in the fields of Philosophy, History and English as

well as courses in Physics, Mathematics and the many and varied engineering subjects. JOHN H. CRAWFORD, O.S.A. A.B., Villanova University, 1921 M.A., Catholic University; 1924 Sc.D., LaSalle College, 1951 Dean, Division of Engineering

SECRETARIAL SCIENCE

The two year and four year Secretarial Science Courses offer a concentrated and intensive curriculum covering the many aspects of the secretarial field. The prospective secretary acquires proficiency

in typing, shorthand, machine calculation, and general office procedure. A proper integration of liberal arts courses provides the broadness of background so necessary in today’s complex civilization. The student enters the business world with the sure confidence of a highly trained professional.

The course of study leading to the degree of Bachelor of

Science in Nursing is open to graduate nurses who are inter-

ested in furthering their education. This curriculum offers an excellent opportunity for the nurse to add the study of the

humanities to her technical training and enables her to give comprehensive nursing care in institutions and in the home.

A recent addition to ex- tra-curricular activity at

Merrimack is the Philoso- phy Club, more commonly known as the “INIetaquins.”

The club is composed of Liberal Arts majors and also those students whose curriculum does not call for philosophy courses. The purpose of the club is to familiarize its members with scholastic philosophy. These discussions in- evitably stimulate intellectual activity and make philosophy a topic of “every day” conversation.

Don Chabot’s discussion of Aristotle evokes varying responses from the serious- minded members of the Philosophy Club.

CADUCEAN CLUB

“Caduceans” examine some of the Biology Department’s collection of zoological and botanical exhibits.

The Caducean Club was organized by the members of the Biology

department in the fall of 1954. The club, under the proctorship of Dr. John T. Lawlor, chairman of the De- partment of Biology,

sponsors field trips to various hospitals and biological laboratories,

supplemented by lectures of prominent bi- ologists. Through such activities the members are able to correlate classroom work with science in action. The Merrimack Warrior

32 “All the World’s a Stage,” and indeed, there are many parts to be played. The “On Stagers” of Merrimack College have imbibed the thespian spirit of the great dramatists—a tradition of all institutions of higher learning. From the design of stage settings to the intricacies of plot characterization, the dramatic society of

the College has systematically applied itself. This past year has seen two major productions hit the boards: “The Gentleman from Athens” directed by Mr. Thomas Quinlan, and “Three Men on a Horse” directed by Father Francis X. Smith, O.S.A.

“Honest, dear. Sweet Marie and Lucky Lulu are only horses!”

prominent businessmen and by field trips to

local offices. These activities are aimed to- wards familiarizing the student with new trends and preparing him to cope with the problems of the business world.

The members of the Accounting Club meet to formulate plans for a series of field trips to in- dustrial establishments.

34 POLITICAL SCIENCE

Under the direction of Mr. St. Germain, .\s- sistant Professor of Political Science, the Poli- tical Science Club has participated in many phases of political life. Lectures by experts in public administration, town managers, and active politicians have served to bring the theory of classroom lectures down to every day life. In addition to field trips to neighboring towns and public institutions, a governmental survey tour to Canada completed a highly successful academic year. Members of the Political Science Club visit a Town Meeting to acquire practical experience with the governmental processes.

SECRETARIAL SCIENCE AND LITERAY CLUBS

The Secretarial Science Club was organized in 1954 to supplement the classroom work of the secretarial students and provide a link with the business world. The activities of the club are two-fold, educational and social including a series of informative lectures, the annual Fashion Show,

Career Girls’ Luncheon, and the highly successful Minstrel Show. The Engineering Guild was organ-

ized in order to supplement the classroom and laboratory work of our prospective engineers. This has been accomplished by means of lectures by

prominent men in the field, excursions to points of scientific interest and discussions by the students themselves. The Guild also sponsors several social and co-curricular activities throughout the year, the most noteworthy of which in the highly successful “Transit Trot.”

The one hundred and fifty ton testing machine enables the young engineer to test engineering materials of all types.

ments in the scientific fields with supplementing field trips to laboratories and chemical plants.

rnmm 37 RELIGION

At Merrimack College, religion is both an academic study and a guide for every day living. It provides an unchanging standard for the individual and society and serves as a weapon against the spread of secularism and communism which are so prevalent in the world today. The students are thoroughly instructed in the tenets of Divine Revelation and the principles of Catholic morality by the Augustinian Fathers. The importance of putting into practice all the theory of classroom work is stressed at every turn. Under the capable direction of Reverend James E. Hannan, O.S.A., our college chaplain, the religious organizations at Mer-

rimack College function smoothly and efficiently. The Fra-

ternity of the Holy Name is composed of the men on campus

and is associated with the Holy Name Societies of their home parishes. Its members strive to promote reverence and respect for the Holy Name of Jesus. The co-eds are members of the Sodality of Our Mother of Good Counsel which seeks to in- crease devotion to Our Blessed Mother. The Cana Society was established for the benefit of our married students and is again becoming active due to their increased numbers at Merrimack. These religious organizations work either singly or as a combined unit to sponsor social activities and to par-

ticipate in the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. B . ^ ••I ll 1^3 As is most fitting, each fall term is opened with a three day retreat and at the beginning of the second semester a Day of Recollection

is held. During the year, every student has the opportunity to assist

at daily Mass and Communion in the newly erected Collegiate Church

of Christ the Teacher, the gift of our beloved Archbishop. There are also weekly novena devotions and Benediction of the Blessed Sacra-

ment to which all students are invited.

The results of the Annual Holy Name Break' fast seem encouraging.

Confessions are heard at the convenience of students in keeping with the College's policy of integrating religion with everyday living.

I Sports are a popular and effective way of building healthy bodies and of instilling the qualities of sportsman- ship and resilience. The program of athletics is designed to afford all students an opportunity to engage in their favorite pastime, both as participants and as loyal but fair rooters. BASKETBALL

46 INTRAMURALS

Not if Frank can help It,

For those sports enthusiasts whose ability or curriculum does not permit participation in varsity sports an extensive intramural program has been established. Well organized basketball teams comprise an interclass league whose prime characteristics are individual team spirit and sharp sportsman-like rivalry. The intramural league provides the stimulus for the development of a genuine competitive spirit, the will to win and the ability to accept defeat gracefully.

The boys' ansiver to the modern dance class.

The intramural sports program is not confined to indoor activity. The camera s eye picks up a foul that the referee misses HOCKEY

One of the brighter spots on the growing

Merrimack campus is the new outdoor hockey rink. Planned and built by Father Paul Tha- bault and several interested students, the rink

is equipped with lights for night games. Com- pletely outfitted with new uniforms, the team

is busily preparing for college competition.

i TENNIS

Tennis is the sport voted “most likely to con- dition the reflexes,” and Art Rogers and his team are really on their toes. With several years of experience and an enlarged roster, the squad achieved the best winning percentage of any Merrimack team.

SKIING

Whether novice, weekender, or expert, a member of the ski club finds real pleasure in the adventurous chal- lenge of daring ski runs. A weekend of thrills, spills, and healthful enjoyment

is provided by frequent trips to the white slops of New hlampshire. In preparation, the club sponsors instruction sessions which teach skiing from the most basic to the most intricate techniques. Through this program the club provides the student an opportunity to display the sporsmanship so vital to a well-balanced personality.

The annual Ski Trip affords many “Merri- mackans” the opportunity to spend their mid- year vacation schussing over the white slopes of New Hampshire mountains.

49 FRESHMEN

Our Freshmen! What would college be without them? Scared and bewildered they arrived on campus in September and after solving the many problems associated with registration they donned beanies and buttons and took on the trials of the orientation period. The sophomore Orientation Committee members and Student Court were the dread of all frosh who followed any course but the one prescribed in the college handbook. With the Orientation Dance came freedom from the per- secution of the sophomores and a chance to prove to the upperclassmen that the Class of

’59 was one which would leave its mark in the history of INIerrimack College. Their versa- tility in the V’ariety Show and enthusiastic participation in college activities promise well for the future.

trial

The end of the Orienta- tion Period brings the shedding of beanies and buttons. Exhuberant freshmen exhibit their joy in a stomping party.

Perhaps the most frequent offense against the “Freshman Code” is negligence in the wearing of “Regs.” Violators have their punishment meted out to them l)y the student Court, to the amusement of the upperclassmen.

The Juniors—a personification of that “old college try”—a streak of energy when there’s a job to be done

—a united group of scholars with a light of frivolity K- in their eyes. As upperclassmen they have made that all important choice of a field of concentration and as a result have spent long hours in the library and laboratory doing the research associated with their newly acquired status. They have taken on important posi- tions of leadership in the Student Council, the staffs of our publications, the field of sports and in the clubs connected with the various courses. The social highlight of the year was, of course. Junior Week with the planting of the class tree, sports day, parent’s night, and the memorable Promenade.

Preparations for Junior Week were begun early in

the fall semester and after the unanimous decision to make this week one of the most outstanding social

events in the history of the college, work was begun in

earnest. As was most fitting, the week opened with iMass on Sunday in the new Collegiate Church of Christ the Teacher. Then in rapid succession followed the

official planting of the class tree, sports day with its many spirited contests. Parents’ Night when we offered our parents a token of our appreciation for their many sacrifices in our behalf, the gala Junior Prom which

had as its setting the decor of the beautiful Caribbean

isles, and the long awaited Junior Dinner Dance, the social highlight of the year, held at the Parker House Roof.

The graduation exercises of the Fifth Commencement of Merrimack College began with the baccalaureate services on the evening of June 3, 1955. The Very Reverend James Hurley, O.S.A., Pastor and Prior of Saint Mary’s Church in Lawrence, delivered the sermon. The student choir chanted the music for the Solemn High Mass celebrated by the Very Reverend Vincent A. McQuade, O.S.A., Ph.D., President of the College, on Saturday morning.

Inclement weather made it necessary to transfer the conferral of diplomas from the quadrangle to the Church of Christ the Teacher. The academic procession of the graduates, alumni and honorary alumni, the administration and distinguished guests filed through the halls of the College to the rostrum presided over by His Excellency, the Most Reverend Richard J. Cushing, D.D., Archbishop of Boston. Some seventy-three candidates received Bachelor degrees in Liberal Arts, Chemistry, Medical Technology, Business Adminis- tration and Civil Engineering; eighteen Certificates in Secretarial Studies, and eight in the Part-time Division. The guest of honor, and recipient of an Honorary Degree of Doctor of Laws was His Eminence, the Most Reverend Francis Cardinal Spellman, D.D., Archbishop of New York, who delivered the Commencement Address.

The eloquent Valedictorian delivers his address before the honored guests, faculty, and graduating students in the Collegiate Church of Christ the Teacher.
