Introduction
Merrimack College was founded in the Augustinian tradition of the Roman Catholic Church. In 1947 in North Andover, Massachusetts, the archbishop of Boston noticed that there were no schools readily available for the soldiers returning from the war. At his request, Merrimack College was created in order to meet this need. The once small college has grown exponentially in the past century. Where one building once stood, forty buildings have grown to form the campus of this prestigious college.
Merrimack College is home to one of the largest libraries in the state of Massachusetts, with over one hundred thousand separate volumes, students, faculty and visitors from across the state visit Merrimack College
