Administration President The administration of any college requires im- measurable art, patience, and foresight on the part of those upon whom the honor and the burden rests. These qualities are necessary to an infinitely higher degree than usual in such a youthful institution as our own. Art has been defined as the science of making things and the art of Merrimack’s collegiate adminis- tration includes making ends meet, making contracts with builders, making representative citizens and Catholics out of her students and making plans for further e.xpansion, academically and physically. ' ery Reverend V ' incent A. McQuade, O.S.A., Ph.D., is our first and most able President, under whose guidance IVIerrimack has been nurtured into a thriving collegiate community. With amazing industry and determination he has applied his energies to the often discouraging task of guiding an infant institution and with results proportionate to his efforts. Under the dominion of Reverend Joseph J. Gildea, O.S.. ., Ph.D., Vice President and Dean of Merrimack, comes the academic reputation. The faculty- admin- istration relations and the problems of individual stu- dents, as well as the entire curriculum are managed with his unbelievable patience and ability. The inspiration by which our administrative offi- cials are characterized is due, even more than to their personal merits, to their dedication to a more sublime vocation, which is only reflected in their work at Merrimack.

Liberal Arts The liberal arts curriculum is the subject of much satisfaction and much more controversy, both internal and external. The program is designed to enable the student to arrive at spiritual, cultural and practical goals through the channels toward which his natural talents best incline him. The graduate of a liberal arts major is fitted not just to labor in a single field but to take a reputable place in many, a multi-faceted citizen. jNIerrimack offers Biology, Economics, English, History and Social Sciences as fields of specialization under the general heading.
