PHILOSOPHY CLUB 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 mem- bers with scholastic philoso- phy. These discussions in- evitably stimulate intellec- tual activity and make phil- osophy 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, un- der 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 lec- tures of prominent bi- ologists. Through such activities the members are able to correlate classroom work with science in action.
