OMINISTItATIO) ean Vice-President, Dean of the Faculty, Director of the Division of Arts and Sciences at Merrimack College, the Reverend Joseph J. (uldea, O.S.A., Ph.D., has had the dual task of coordinating the academic pursuits of an infant college and improving and enlarging its faculty. In addition to fulfilling most ably these monumental tasks. Father Gildea has always found time to give personal and sympathetic attention to the many student problems with which he is confronted. The wisdom and understanding of this priestly priest will be in the future, as it has been in the past, one of the greatest assets to which Merrimack College can proudly lay claim. PneUdeni The phenomenal growth of Merrimack College in the first decade of its existence is due in no small part to the capable administration and indefatigable zeal of its President, the ' ery Reverend Vincent A. iNIcQuade, O.S.A., Ph.D. Providing upkeep, planning expansion, acting as liaison between the college and its patrons in the vicinity. Father McQuade might well see in this second decade the fruition of his untiring efforts to place Merrimack College among the top institutions of higher learning. Indebted already to this man of religion and science, all who have been or will be associated with Merrimack will feel more obligated when they become more fully aware of the contribution of Father McQuade.

The artes Ubcralcs come from the Imperial Roman idea of the knowledge that must be imparted to free citizens in order to equip them to exercise the highest functions of society. The student is led to an understanding of his dignity as an indi- vidual and of his responsibility as a member of society. He is taught to .think clearly, logically, comprehensively, to e.xamine facts under the light of true reason, and to act according to ethical principles. All the glories of the past and of this twentieth century are his for the full life if, by self-discipline of hard work and moral courage, he will translate this knowledge into high and noble action.
