m MANHATTAN QUARTERLY The Manhattan Quarterly is a literary magazine sponsored by the College to air the expressions of its student body. More than this, however, the Quarterly is esteemed by the College as a record of the first literary endeavors of its students. These publications will remain a part of the Col- lege's huge memory of those things that uniquely tie her to her sons. The Quarterly is open to all students, and the contributions of these students are attended to with interest and care. During the academic year of 1955-1956 the Quarterly was Brother Eugene, moderator. Edward Fetherston, editor. published four times, appearing in the months of October December, March and May. The interests of the student bod were revealed in these pages. The material ranged fro poetry and fiction to satire, criticism and essays coverin- a multitude of subjects.

n mu , at H M t The purpose of the Quarterly forum is to enable the members of the college to formulate as wide a cultural horizon as possible through this medium of expository presentation, coupled with audience participation through discussion. The chosen topics do not pretend to be all inclusive, but provoca- tive. Such topics as: Contemporary Art and Contemporary Poetry, The Problem of the Young Catholic Writer, Aca- demic Freedom and Literature and Art in a Totalitarian State excited interest and comment on the part of the attending members of the college. One of the truly educa- tional graces of the College is the discussion period of the forum in which ideas formulated during the lecture may be broadened and solidified. The Quarterly, always on the alert for the voice that wishes to be heard, maintains a lively communication with the Creative Writing Class. The Quarterly was co-edited by Ed Fetherston and Joe Horan in close association with its faculty advisor, Brother Celestine Eugene. The editors, together with the members of the staff, Ed Dixon, Jerold Kappes, Kevin Keefe, Robert Klocke, and John Nagle, worked together with one aim in mind: to attend carefully to what was submitted and to present to the student body what would entertain and delight them through the Quarterly.
