From the very beginning this great endeavor has ncver lacked the spirit and generosity of its countless friends and followersg for their assistance and co- operation we shall always be grateful. Wllat we offer in return is the formulated results of all their efforts, Merrimack itself. Yet we realize that this is but the beginningg steady growth is still before us, and ever will be. National defense measures must in due Atv course be resolved into normal peacetime progress. lmmediate plans for the full of 1951 include new courses in medical technology and secretarial sci- ence, thus in only four years, Merrimack is prepared to award degrees in ten major fields of study: Philosophy, English, History, Social Sciences, Eco- nomics, Pre-Medical, Pre-Dental, Marketing, Account- ing, and Business Administration. Certainly the swift progress of this institution has exceeded our greatest hopes.

The efforts of the campaign com- mittee were channeled among six major groups: the ninety-five parishes of the Merrimack Valley, the industries., professional and mercantile organizations., the philanthropies, the cluhs, and the Association of Merrimack College, an organization of students' parents and friends. For nine months hundreds of volunteer committees and their clerical help labored tirelessly, preparing and distributing mountains of press releases, information folders, and pledge cards to an enthusiastic public.
