Business Manager Mercyhurst's monthly, the Merciad, is the official paper of the college. lts purpose is to be the voice of the campus and to report school spirit in action. lt was founded eight years ago and edited by B. Wilbert, under the direction of Dr. M. l. Relihan. The vigorous growth of the paper has kept pace with that of the school whose development has been chronicled in the Merciad's columns. The latest newspaper methods are reflected currently in the format of this monthly. The almost annual introduction of new columns is intended to keep the paper abreast of the campus' most recent ideas, vogues, activities, and developments. The 1936 Christmas issue carried two pages of advertisements, the first to appear in the Merciad. The 1936-37 editor, Eleanor O'Sullivan, and the business manager, Anne Fox, have by their own concentrated efforts and the cooperation of the Staff, reached new heights of editorial achievement by adding considerably to the variety and human interest tnof the paper. Mr. lohn A. Donatelli is the Merciad's faculty adviser. Margaret O'Sullivan has been elected editor for the year l937-38. Page 52
