McQuade, O.S.A. To Reverend Father McQuade, President of our College, this yearbook is gratefully dedicated. This year marks the 25th Anniversary of Father McQuade’s ordination to the priesthood. In the ensuing years he has devoted himself to the furtherance of education according to Catholic principles. His years of devoted service as teacher, administrator, and advisor have served to fix his memory in the hearts of all whom he has served. We shall remember our days at Merrimack with a fond recollection of Father McQuade’s interest in his students. As Seniors we have come to realize ever more fully the responsibilities of the President of the college and to appreciate Father McQuade’s essential part in the expansion of the college. DEDICATION . 4 The Reverend Joseph J. Gildea, O.S.A., Ph.D., as Vice President, Dean of Faculty, and Director of Arts and Sciences, has won the hearts and respect of all who have met him. In directing academic policy, no professional or student problem is too unimportant for Father Gildea’s personal and sympathetic attention. The faculty-administration relations and the problems of individual students, as well as the entire curriculum are managed by him with unbelievable patience and ability. Personifying all Christian virtue, his priestly wisdom has been an inspiration to students and faculty alike. Reverend Joseph J. Gildea, O.S.A. ADMINISTRATION Cardinal Spellman and Cardinal Cushing, accompanied by the President Very Reverend Vincent A. McQuade, O.S.A., and the Provincial Very Reverend H. E. Greenlee, O.S.A., attend a commencement exercise at Merrimack. 5 The Reverend Thomas F. Walsh, O.S.A., The V ery Reverend Paul M. Judson, O.S.A., The Very Reverend Vincent A. Me- Quade, O.S.A., The Very Reverend Henry E. Greenlee, O.S.A., Chairman; The Very Reverend Edward J. Carney, O.S.A., and the Very Reverend Henry B. Smith, O.S.A. The Very Reverend Henry E. Greenlee, O.S.A., S.T.D., Prior Provincial of the Province of Saint Thomas of Villanova capably guides Merrimack’s growth and de- velopment as the Chairman of the Board of Trustees. Father Greenlee's foresight and administrative ability have clearly henentted the progress of the college. BOARD OF TRUSTEES At Merrimack College the Board of Trustees directs im- portant policies regarding college finances, the founding of scholarship funds and the appropriations for building programs and maintenance. The Board members contribute valuable administrative experience and a wide understanding of academic problems. This efficient team is responsible for the successful expansion of Merrimack College. There is an old cliche which seems appro- priate to begin the story of Merrimack, “Ne- cessity breeds invention.” This trite phrase best explains the “Why?” of Merrimack College. With the influx of the countless young men who served in World War II and the generation which had grown up during it, there was a crying need for educational facilities. Although the demand was present, the supply was not; and so the germ of an idea was formed in the minds of some far-sighted Lawrence business- men. Their idea was to erect a small college to service the educational needs of the Mer- rimack Valley. After bringing their idea to Bishop Minihan, then secretary to his Eminence Cardinal Rich- ard J. Cushing, they obtained his intercession with the Cardinal and the plan for the Augus- tinian College of the Merrimack Valley was THE VERY REVEREND approved. The site of the college was chosen ARTHUR B. MAXWELL, O.S.A., Litt.D. and the Augustinian order was induced to come Prior from Villanova to staff the proposed college. Under the inspired leadership of the Very Reverend Vincent A. McQuade, O.S.A., who was designated its president, Merrimack be- came a reality early in 1947. From the barren, empty land of the previous year rose the first building—Guild Hall. Here, with an enrollment of one hundred and sixty- five male students, the morning of September 29, 1947 saw the advent of Merrimack’s first academic year. HISTORY OF MERRIMACK One year to the day later, ground was broken for a science building that was to hear the name of the man who has done so much for Merri- mack. Cushing Hall was ready for use by late 1949. Three years more passed and fruitful years they were! Sullivan Hall, the liberal arts building, was completed by the summer of 1952. This filled a definite need for classroom space. It provided us with the convenience of a cafeteria and a bookstore. The science curriculum was expanded by the addition of modern biology laboratories. Also completed by the summer of 1952 was the administration building, Austin Hall. Living quarters for the clerical faculty, administrative offices, guidance and conference rooms, and a private chapel were established.
