It is ably moderated by Professor Bernard Gilligan. The President of the Club is Anthony Locascio. The club provides the student with an opportunity to sharpen his philosophical wits and add to his knowledge outside the regular curriculum. The topics covered at successive meetings this year were modern philosophy in general and existentialism in particular. However, meet- ings were not restricted to these topics alone. Often informal group discussions were held on almost any topic of interest chosen by the students themselves. It is the sincere hope of Mr. Gilligan that the departing Fifth Year students will continue to take an active interest in the development of Philosophical knowledge. It is only proper that the Society has been named in honor of St. Thomas Aquinas Whose philosophy forms the basis of Christian reason- ing. We hope that in the past year we have advanced in the under- standing of the principles that he set forth over four centuries ago. 237

BARIZEIK UIGIQAIQY SOCl611y Professor Joseph F. Moriarty Moderator James Slear President During the past year the Barrett Literary Society came into existence. The interest in Writing and the literary field on the part of several of the students was stimulated by the suggestion of Dr. Joseph Moriarty that some medium be established through which they might express themselves and secure direct infor- mation on the field in general and this suggestion has resulted in our present activity. We were very proud to dedicate our society to -the late Bev. Alfred J. Barrett, S.J., who was associated with the School of Business for several years. A poet ,and playwright, Father Bar- rett Was to have been our first guest speaker. The main aims of the Literary Society are to provide an op- portunity for student to discuss their' own literary efforts and the production of others and to keep informed on the needs of ex- pression and communication in the World of commerce. During the year several guest speakers have addressed us and informal discussions of contemporary Writers rounded out our activities. We Wish to express our Warm thanks to our officers, James Slear, Presidentg Donald Fairbanks, Vice Presidentg Carol Kissel- bach, Secretaryg Stacy Kotsopulos, Treasurer, for their helpful efforts. Dr. Joseph Moriarty, our Moderator, was a guiding in- fluence in directing our Society and We are sincerely grateful to him. 236
