His years of devoted service as teacher, administrator, and advisor have served to fix his memory in the hearts of all whom he has served. We shall remember our days at Merrimack with a fond recollection of Father McQuade’s interest in his students. As Seniors we have come to realize ever more fully the responsibilities of the President of the college and to appreciate Father McQuade’s essential part in the expansion of the college.
