STUDENT COUNCIL Student Council members assemble weekly to discuss current issues, liere under the guidance of their ad- visor, Father Cullen. The Student Council pre- sented the Cardinal with a check for his charities on be- half of the student body. Chairman Mary Feinen and Vice Chairman Joseph Day always find Father McQuade willing to assist with any student problems. Comprised of five seniors, three juniors, and two sophomores, the Student Council does much to alleviate many administrative burdens in its weekly sessions. Ruling primarly on matters involving the interpretation and enforcement of its constitution, the Council carries out disciplinary regulations, supervises the Student Traffic Commission, and directs class election as well as extracurricular organizations. Thus the Student Council of Merrimack College is a democracy in action. Traffic Commission members never refuse to listen to the plea of the student defendant before pronouncing judgment. 29

Members of the Sanctuary Society as- sist at Benediction of the Blessed Sacra- ment offered during the week in the Chapel of Christ the Teacher. RELIGION Our education here is only as so much accumulation of fact until the integrating and unifying force of our religion binds all loose ends and gives a relation between and a proportion among all that we have come to know. This truly is wisdom and with it we brush aside all that we are and shouldn’t be to become more like Him in whose image we are created. How appropriate then is our motto: Through knowledge to wisdom. The practice of our Catholic faith accomplishes this transition and provides us with a daily source of grace in those duties which most become a Catholic college student. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Supreme Act of our religion, provides the spiritual nourishment necessary for intellectual endeavor.
