HI TORY FR. P. IZTLINGISR, C.S.B. Director The purpose of the Aquinas History de- partment is to prepare men for life in an ever- changing civilization. Students are taught not only of the great discoveries and contributions of mankind, hut also of his follies and failures. This is done to serve as an aid to the men of Aquinas vvno will be of some importance in the history of tomorrow. Since the beginning of recorded time, man has seen the importance of preserving a testimonial to the events in which he has taken part. Therefore, because such a written memorial is so essential for the truly educated man, the History department of Aquinas is fulfilling a great task. ,,,. -

DEB TI G FR. A. O'Rlill-l-Y, CSB. Director The Debating Society or the Society of For- ensic Art, has proved to he one of the most beneficial organizations at Aquinas. lts members are trained to speak in public and therefore develop poise and self-conhdence. This is accom- plished through the medium of debating and other orarorical activities. The members of this Society have taken part in many of the debating activities throughout this State, in neighboring states and in Toronto at an invitational tournament sponsored by St. Michael's College of the University of Toronto. The Society again sponsored the Aquinas ln- vitational Tournament, held this year in February. Bark Roux' Ralph Esposito, james j.

XWHITLEY, C.S.B. Librarian just as the body needs material nourishment to maintain life. so too the mind needs intellectual nour- ishment in order to subsist. The source of our mental diet at Aquinas is the Library. The Aquinas library is a real and friendly place, partially because of the fact that it is manned to some extent by the students themselves. The Library Club was formed to assist the Librarian and to train its mem- bers in Library Science. The work this organization performs is a tribute to the unselfish spirit of particular Aquinas students who are willing to help their school without any tangible reward.
