The seniors of 1955, glamorous in the eyes of the underclassmen and j intermittently in their own, now must return to freshman status, but in a new environment— the world. The difference is that this time they are equipped with the faith, the philosophy, the special skills, the social aware- ness that come of four years’ involvement with a curriculum which blends general humanistic and scientific knowledge with concentrated training in a chosen specialty.

Secretarial Science Although much emphasis is placed on taking, reading, and typing shorthand notes, the effi- cient secretary must be capable of effectively transcribing from machine dictation. Today’s secretarial field is alive with opportunities for skilled personnel who are willing to assume respon- sibility. The two-year and four-year courses at Merri- mack offer adequate facilities for the proper training of secretaries. The students concentrate on the acqui- sition of special skills— typewriting, shorthand, tran- scription, mathematics, and accounting. In addition, they study cultural subjects in order to broaden their horizon. Through a system of electives in advertising. journalism, merchandising, sales management, finance, and marketing the prospective secretary is permitted to obtain an acquaintance with various other fields. This rich curriculum, a staff of experienced professors, and a well-equipped department combine to produce a corps of trained secretaries each year. A constant demand from business and government emphasize the importance of the division. Speed and accuracy is the motto of all secretaries. These two-year secs” are diligently at work striving for greater speed and perfection at the keyboard.
