Creighton University - Bluejay Yearbook (Omaha, NE)

Text from Pages 1 - 308 of the 1928 volume:

Il FOREWORD IFTY years! A long time as men compute age, but in the life or a university, a mere infancy. As our university prepares to celebrate its golden anniversary, we cannot help but feel that the powerful strides of former years are but a beginning, and that the lusty infant will continue to grow in service and in glory. With this thought in mind, we offer this history of the year just passing with best wishes for the future growth of the institution, and hoping that the contents of this volume will still be treasured when its possessor ' s eyes are dimmed with age and our school has completed yet another half century of service in the field of education.

Students and in recognition of the brilliant work accomplished during this time, jve gratefully dedicate this volume of the Blue Jay to Rev. Alfred J. Kaufmann S. J. Father Kaufmann was born in Aarau, Switzerland, December 11, 1878. As a young man he attended school in Feldkirch, Austria, and Exaeten, Holland. At the age of twenty- three he came to America and following a course of study at Prairie du Chien, Wiscon- sin, was ordained in Saint Louis, Missouri, June 27, 1912. Since that time he has been at Creighton, teaching history in the college of Arts and Sciences. He is the author of a widely used history text, published in 1919, and is a frequent contributor to the leading geo- graphic and historic magazines of the country t Page 6 ] [ Page 7 ] ;ki„iiiLi,M -i '  ' ' fi ailiiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiH iMI!l!l!PW ' !:llill;l|!lMffl : l::i;:W!

HE Story of Creighton is an epitome of the history of the west. As the individual is said to recapitulate the experience of the race within the compass of his own life, the growth of the University is one with the winning of the West. In 1878, Omaha was a ragged town of 30,000 people. Not eastern enough to be smug and sophisticated, it was never- theless not western enough to be lusty and colorful. But it was a gate city geographically and a key town economically. To this frontier metropolis came the Creightons, bent on building the west. The eldest was Edward, the first father of the University that was later to bear his name. With his brothers, John A, and James, he established his contracting business in Omaha in 1856, specializing in the construction of telegraph lines. By the early seventies wealth had definitely come, and Edward Creighton was making ready to shower his gold upon others, when death came. But death did not defeat his philan- thropic designs, for his wife, Mary Lucretia Creighton, in her last testament, provided for the founding of a college in the ' !il [ Turn to Page 20 ] [ Page 17 ] EDWARD A. CREIGHTON. Edward A. Creighton, a gigantic figure in the business activities of the West in the last half of the nineteenth century, was a man of whom the West of that time could well be proud. It was in the mind of this pioneer leader that the need for a school of higher learning first be- came a possibility. Following right upon the heels of this idea came his resolu- tion to endow and foster a free school for the youth of the Middle-west. Before he had brought his extensive plans to a suc- cessful completion he died, leaving the work of disbursing his bequests to his wife, Mary Lucretia Creighton. To Ed- ward ' s munificence and clear foresight Creighton University owes not only its most profound respect and gratitude but also its very existence. COUNT JOHN A. CREIGHTON. One of the foremost men of his day and co-founder of Creighton University was Count John A. Creighton. A young- er brother of Edward Creighton, he car- ried on to a successful termination the endowment of the school of higher learn- ing begun by his illustrious brother. In addition to his numerous gifts to the school which bears his name, Mr. Creigh- ton aided many other worthy causes, which earned for him the honor of being awarded in 1895 the title and dignity of a Papal Count. In 1900 the University of Notre Dame presented him with the Laetare Medal as a tribute of homage to his munificence in behalf of charity and education. [ Page 18 ] SARAH EMILY CREIGHTON. Sarah Emily Creighton, wife of Count John A. Creighton, was the founder of St. Joseph ' s Hospital by virtue of her original bequest of $50,000 which pro- vided part of the funds necessary for the establishment of the building which was to house the Franciscan Sisterhood in their mission of mercy. This pious, ener- getic pioneer was in her day a leader in early Omaha society. Mrs. Creighton died in 1888. MARY LUCRETIA CREIGHTON The invaluable work accomplished by this sturdy pioneer woman in carrying out the bequests of her deceased husband, Edward A. Creighton, as well as adding substantial contributions of her own to the young college is a familiar passage to all those who have followed the history of Creighton University with any degree of interest. Her most valued contribution, coming as it did at a crucial moment, was an endowment of $100,000 made to Creighton in her will, which was pro- bated in 1876. It was in that year that she died, just two years after the demise of her renowned husband. [ Page 19 ] FATHER RIGGE. In Father William Rigge, S. ]., Creighton University possessed for many years the dean of American astronomers and one of the fore- most mathematicians of his day. Father Rigge, whose death occurred only last year, was a brother of Father Joseph Rigge, S. }., who was one of the earliest members of the Creighton faculty. Father Joseph Rigge was transferred from Creighton to a missionary post in 1894 and was succeeded at the University by his younger brother. city of Omaha and named the Right Reverend James O ' Con- nor, the first bishop of Omaha, trustee of the fund which she left for the purpose. The harvest, however, was great and the laborers few, so that Bishop O ' Connor was unable to spare any of his clergy [ Page 20 iiifii ■ i© EDWARD CREIGHTON INSTITUTE. Former home of the Colleges of Law and Dentistry. from parish work. Accordingly, he called in the Jesuits. In 1878 the new school, manned by five Jesuits, threw open its doors to a thin trickle of pioneering students. In 1879 the institution was incorporated as The Creighton Universi ' v. Of that first little band of teachers, only one remains, the Rev. Michael Eicher, S. J., of Milford, Ohio. The great Father Rigge was one of the five, but he died last year. When [ Turn to Page 23 ] [ Page 21 ] REV. F. X. McMENAMY, S. J. It was during the presidency of Father F. X. McMenamy, S. J., that Creighton University came to the front as an institution of higher learning. From 1911 to 1914 he acted in the capacity of vice president. When appointed to the rectorship in 1914, which position he held until 1919, he was well acquainted with conditions here and was able to do the great service for the institution which he accomplished. After the term of Father McMenamy expired at Creighton, he was made Provincial of the Missouri Province of the Society of Jesus. Father McMenamy is remembered for the work, he accomplished in putting Creighton University on a sound financial basis. The greater Creighton had its initial impetus when the gymnasium was built in 1913 under his able direction. Page 22 } REV. M. HIGHER, S. J. The only member of the original Creighton faculty still living is the Rev. M. Eicher, S. ]., who is now stationed in Cincinnati. Father Eicher came as a scho- lastic to the young college of Creighton in August, 1878, together with Father Hubert Peters, S. J., and two other scholastics, Messrs. William Rigge, S. ]., and A. Beile, S. }. the jubilee celebration is held next winter, Father Eicher will be here, and fitting tribute will be paid to the only living man who can tell the story of those first days from the view- point of the teacher. The young and raw Nebraska of the seventies was hardly ready for a college, and during the first few years of its exist- ence, the new institution was little more than a grammar school. Stage by stage it grew, first into a high school, then into a college, finally into a university. In 1885 the school took a great bound forward, when the Rev. Michael P. Dowling, S. J., entered upon his first term as president. It was under Father Dowling that studies of college grade were first offered; it was under Father Dowling [ Page 23 ] DR. J. S. FOOTE.

Foote left behind an enviable record not only in his vocation, which was medicine, and more particularly bone structure, but also in his avocations of music and poetry.

All of these projects were financed in their entirety by John A. Creighton. Father Dowling ' s term expired in 1889, and he turned over his office to the Rev. Thomas S. Fitzgerald, S. J. During [ Page 24 ] BISHOP PATRICK A. McGOVERN. Bishop P. A. McGovern graduated from the Creighton College of Arts and Sciences in 1901. He at one time served as pastor in the old St. Philomena ' s Cathe- dral and St. Peter ' s Parishes when he was very active in Creighton affairs. On Janu- ary 18, 1912, he was appointed Bishop of Cheyenne Diocese, and now resides at he bishopric at Cheyenne, Wyoming. President Fitzgerald ' s administration the first college class, that of 1891, was graduated. In 1892 the College of Medicine was opened, offering the first of the university ' s professional courses to the public. The college began with a three-year medical course in accordance with the prevailing standard of the times, but in 1894 the requirements were raised to four years. The Creighton College of Medicine was the first institution in the west to require a [ Page 25 } REV. FRANCIS CASSILLY, S. J. Rev. Francis Cassilly, S. ., who is this year celebrating his golden anniversary in the Jesuit order, has been a prominent member of the Creighton faculty for many years. Since being retired from active teaching several years ago, Father Cassilly has devoted his time to the pastorate of St. Benedict ' s Negro church, which he founded in 1919. Father Cassilly is the author of several religious text books which are now in use in many Catholic schools and colleges throughout the country. four-year course for graduation. In 1897 the medical school moved into its permanent home at Fourteenth and Davenport streets. In the meantime Mr. Creighton had completed St. Joseph ' s Hospital, with the stipulation that the clinical facili- ties of the hospital should forever be reserved for the use of the University students of medicine. With its own building and clinic, the future of the medical college was assured. During the mid-nineties, Creighton, in common with the rest of the agrarian west, fell upon hard times and the pinch of want was felt so hard that the advisability of closing the school was seriously considered. But just when the tragedy of defeat [ Page 26 ] REV. EUGENE A. MAGEVENY. Father Eugene A. Mageveny, S. ]., was president of Creighton University from 1907 to 1913. During his term Creighton became rvidely known to the great territory to the north and west of Omaha. loomed blackest, the great Father Dowling returned to take up his second term as president. Through Father Dowling ' s influence, John Creighton, himself a heavy loser as a result of the panics of the nineties, was prevailed upon to shoulder the deficits each year until prosperity dawned again. The healthy west recovered in course of time, and with it recovered Creighton. In fact, it was in Father Dowling ' s second term that the University made its most marked progress. New buildings erected during this period included the Audi- torium, the north and south wings of the Administration building, the central heating plant, the old athletic field, St. [ Page 27 ] DR. C. F. CROWLEY. A. M., M. D., Ph. C, LL. D. Dr. C. F. Crowley, at present Pro- fessor of Chemistry in the Creighton Dental School and Chemist of the city of Omaha, has been for many years a member of the Creighton faculty and a recognized leader among the scien- tists of the Middle-west. Notable among his achievements have been his accomplishments in using the X-Ray for the first time in the state of Ne- braska. This he accomplished on March 12, 1896. In 1915 he was ap- pointed chemical engineer of Nebraska on the Preparedness Committee by the Utiited States Navy Consulting Board. John ' s Hall, the Law and Dental Building, and the Pharmacy addition to the Medical School building. Under Father Dowling, too, the courses in law, pharmacy, and dentistry- were introduced. On Feb. 7, 1907, John A. Creighton died. By all odds the greatest benefactor of the University, John Creighton had tided it through the most perilous years of its existence, financed its building projects and enriched its endowment. Now, at his death, he made legacies to the University that ran up into the millions. Creighton was to be a great University; for many years it was to be a free high school and college: so much did the will of Count John A. Creighton assure. Page 28 ] JAMES C. KINSLER. Mr. Kinsler should be credited, along with Father Michael Dowling. with the formation of a law college at Creighton. He graduated from one of the first classes at Creighton and later completed his education at the Harvard Law School. The teaching system of this eastern school he brought to Creighton. A year later the University lost another great pioneer and builder in the person of Father Dowling. After ten years of leadership, Father Dowling surrendered the presidency to the Rev. Eugene Mageveny, S. J. Father Mageveny headed the University from 1908 to 1914, and conspicuous among the achievements of his administration were the erection of the medical laboratory building and the addition of a summer session in arts and sciences. In 1914, the Rev. Francis X. McMenamy, S. J. came, to serve as president until 1919. Unification was the ideal of Father McMenamy, and to prepare for the day when the school should be centralized. Father McMenamy purchased two city blocks west of the original college site and added them to the campus. Then, in 1916, he erected the gymnasium. As he was preparing to enlarge St. John ' s church, the war came, and conditions grew so unsettled that when President McMenamy left office in 1919, this project was still unfinished. [ Page 29 1 REV. MICHAEL DOWLING, S. J. Father Dowling was president of the Univer- sity from 1885 to 1889 and from 1898 to 1908. It was under Father Dowling that classes of col- lege grade were introduced. Under his directions were constructed the first additions to the Arts building, the astronomical observatory, St. John ' s Church, the Auditorium, the central heating plant, St John ' s Fiall, the old Colleges of Law and Dentistry, the School of Medicine and the College of Pharmacy. President McCormick ' s administration, beginning in 1919, was signalized by the construction of the stadium and the addition of courses in commerce, finance and journalism to the University family, A building and endowment fund cam- paign prosecuted at this period of the school ' s history netted but a fraction of the amount aimed at, and the ambitious build- [ Page 30 ] CHARLES A.

Dentists from all over America attended a dinner given in his honor at Council Bluffs. Iowa, in 1927. by the Woodbury Study Club. Dr. Woodbury, who is now the recognized leader of Gold Foil Manip- ulation, is publishing a book on this subject. The honorary degree of LL. D. was conferred upon him in 1927. Re- cently he has donated to Creighton a $1000 endowment, the interest of which creates a fund to give a prize for the best gold filling placed by a student. ing program devised by President McCormick was curtailed. To future builders was left the task of erecting the badly needed arts, chemistry, physics, library, dormitory and medical buildings. In 1925, hailed by the most elaborate civic and academic celebration that ever accompanied the inauguration of a [Page 31 ] Creighton president,, the Rev. W. J. Grace, S, J., who had been dean of the College of Arts and Sciences for six years, entered upon the presidency. His term had not reached its halfway mark when the march of consolidation had added the Duchesne College for women and the School of Nursing of St. Joseph ' s Hospital to the University group. In addition to adding the resources of two hitherto independent institutions to the University, the twofold consolidation effected under the present administration opened up opportunities for women that had never before been available. Of course this table of dates and panorama of physical changes takes no account of the spiritual growth of the Univer- sity. We have seen stone laid on stone for the erection of great buildings, but trowel and mortar have been minor factors in the building of the University. Soul has been laid on soul, too, tamped into place by careful teachers and sealed with the mortar of learning. It was a magnificent achievement to grow from one box-like building to a small city of sixteen buildings; the development from a grammar school to a complex Univer- sity organization has been startling; the little handful of students has performed an amazing feat in swelling to pro- portions that threaten to pass the three thousand mark before another year is ended. But the greatest miracle of all has been the perpetuation of the mystic relation between student and teacher. Somewhere close to that relation you will find the real Creighton; somewhere in the evolution of that relationship you will find the real history of Creighton. The story of Creighton is the story of the minds that have taught and learned and thought here in the past half century.

Our city, our state and our country have grown in size, in activity, in opportunities offered. Facilities for higher education have increased astonishingly and have been taken advantage of to a greater and ever greater extent. Yet withal it is the comparatively few who have been prepared for the work of life as you have. Correspondingly those few have an obligation to make returns. Neither the generous Founders of this University nor those who have carried on the work which they made possible would have given as they did of their substance and of their lives had it not been for the vision which they saw of a high-powered and high-minded legion of graduates who would carry out into the world the learning, the moral principles, the love for fellow-men and for God which this institution was intended to inculcate. Success is the goal at which all aim, both individuals and institutions. The success of this University is rightly judged by the quality of its alumni. Our reputation, then, is in your care. Always remember this, and let your actions be guided accordingly. Keep the name of Creighton University ever fair and honored, in every place where it may be known. It is a fact, too, dislike it as we may, that our continued progress will depend on the increase of our material resources. Remember, then, that if the University has helped you in the years of your preparation, loyal grati- tude should prompt you to make a return in kind in the years of fruition. God-speed to all of you, and a happy, honorable career. W. J. Grace, S. J. President March 12, 1928 Page 35 University REV. WILLIAM P. WHELAN, S. J.

Opened in September, 1878, it af- forded free schooling to those who sought to pursue their studies beyond the ordinary grade and academic courses. Its history has not been one of continual development of its financial and physical resources with smooth sailing and a favorable breeze as company, for in its infancy this struggling school knew little but hard knocks and finan- cial difficulties. The financial panic, which swept the country during the last decade of the century and which forced many a busi- ness firm into bankruptcy, found Creighton in dire straits. In this Creighton found a generous bene- factor in Count John A. Creighton, whose large and continual donations saw the school through its difficulties. Since 1900 the Arts department has steadily developed, broad- ening in its curriculum and later becoming the College of Arts and Sciences. The work which the Arts department seeks to accomplish is to open up and de- velop the human mind, broaden the sympathies and render fit for the most valuable service those who, being endowed with natural talent, seriously carry out the study REV.

To attain this end, the department includes within its course of study the languages and Uterature, the social sciences, some mathe- matics and laboratory science and philosophy. In addition to this, advanced courses for graduate work leading to a Master of Arts degree is offered in the Graduate School of the College of Arts. These courses include work in the languages, litera- ture, science and philosophy. The College of Arts and Sciences is the oldest in the university, it being the proud possessor of the title, Daddy of them all. Fifty years old and still growing! REV. FRANCIS X. REILLY, S. J.

The department has outgrown its present building and facilities and plans have been discussed for several years past in regard to the erection of a new building to house the oldest department on the hill. At present this large building contains the Prep department, science laboratories, the university library, the residential quar- ters of the Jesuits, the executive offices and a number of class and reception rooms.

The whole cultural background of Omaha and this part of the west is seated in the Creighton College of Arts which is much older than any other department of the University, and which rose to prominence when Omaha was a pioneering town of the west.

The system as carried out makes for the best service to both student and faculty member and at the same time gives protection and order to the large number of volumes, many of which are invaluable. On the Hill is found what is perhaps Creighton ' s greatest individual claim to the attention of the outside world — the astronomical observatory. It was in this inauspicious little building that the world famed research and inventive work of the late Father William F. Rigge was carried on. St. John ' s Hall was erected in 1900 for the purpose of caring for those non-resident students who desired to reside at a study hall. The demands have been so strong for accommodations in the hall that need for more dormitories has long been felt. To the past two generations this building has been familiarly known as the Beanery, supposedly due to the preponderance of a common staple article of diet, and to present indications will probably continue to be so known for years hence. To those who reside there it is a haven, a place of comfort amid surroundmgs or good will and cooperation. REV. EUGENE P. MULLANEY, S. J. Director of St. John ' s Hall.

This department was introduced by President Grace at the beginning of the school year 1927-28. Edwin J. Bashe, Ph. D., was appointed acting Dean. Graduate instruction is offered for students who desire to pursue special advanced courses after the completion of the college course, with the degree of Master of Arts and Master of Science being offered. The school is open to both men and women. The organization and control of graduate work is in charge of a standing com- mittee composed of the staff of the University, known as the Committee on Grad- uate Instruction. The addition of graduate courses at Creighton has come in response to a demand for that work in the middle-west. Creighton is ideally located. To the west there is no university of importance for hundreds of miles and to the north there is a great drawing territory. Persons desiring graduate courses in a Jesuit school formerly had to go east or to St. Louis, but now they may be obtained at Creighton University. There has been wise foresight in the introduction of this department. It has placed in the heart of the west a fountain of learning which may be advantageously partaken of by our ambitious countrymen. The department faculty consists of six professors and three assistant professors. Extensive courses are offered in Chemistry, Education, English and History. Novel courses have been introduced on the subject of thesis writing. The results of Graduate Theses have been so gratifying that they have in many instances been published. The strong course in Education is drawing many teachers to Creighton. Listed among the branches are the following: High School Administration; Educational Measurements; Methods of Teaching in Grades; Psychology of High School Sub- jects; Supervision of Elementary Instruction; City School Administration; Statistical Methods in Education; Problems in Educational Psychology; The Development of Educational Theory; The Measurement of Intelligence. Graduate instruction is now also open to ambitious professional students with the degree A. B. or its equivalent. Creighton University has always a large number of these. The tremendous advantage of this feature should not be overlooked. The great area which Creighton University serves will profit by the Graduate Depart- ment and its influence will be felt in practically every community in the northwest.

Dear, of the College of Dentistry. he College of Q)entistry ' )REIGHTON is most proud to number among f J its departments the College of Dentistry - which has, since 1919, been a Class A school. Housed in the newest building on the campus and holding within its walls the finest of school spirit, the highest ideals of service and the oldest of tra- ditions, the College of Dentistry consistently turns out Dentists to whose work and conduct it can always point with pride. The Creighton Dental College in 1905 became the successor of The Omaha Dental College, and with the financial and teaching support of the rapidly growing Creighton, the young school flour- ished and grew strong. In a short time it was transformed into one of the best equipped institu- tions of its kind in the middle-west. From its cramped quarters at 210 So. 18th Street, which room it shared with the Law School, the Dental College moved into its present fine quarters in 1921. In 1919, the course was lengthened from a three year to a four year course, and in 1926 a prere- quisite of one year pre-dental training was added as a further requirement. In its present building the Dental College affords its students the finest equip- ment, a spacious, well-lighted clinic and the finest of faculties. At present the faculty numbers thirty- one of Omaha ' s leading physicians and dentists. The enrollment during 1927-28 was one hundred forty- nine students. i J H H| ' r ' ' ljlHBM[|| H H| CLINIC VIEW. [ Page 48 } THE COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY. Rev. William P. Whelan, S. J., is Regent of the College of Dentistry and Dr. Hugh A. Hippie, A. M., D. D. S., is Dean. Prominent among the members of the Dental faculty is Dr. Charles Woodbury, D. D. S., LL. D., F. A. C. D. Dr. Woodbury is professor of Gold Foil Manipulation, in which he is the recognized authority in the United States. He is a charter member of the Fellows of the American College of Dentistry, a past-president of the Iowa State Dental Society and organizer of the Woodbury Study Club, for the study of Gold Foil Manipulation. Besides this he has designed numerous dental instruments and is a constant contributor to the various dental magazines. For his meritorious services both to Creighton University, upon whose faculty he has served for nineteen years, and to the advancement of Dentistry, he has been awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws by Creighton University. Dr. Charles F. Crowley, A. M., M. D., Ph. C, LL. D., has been associated with Creighton Univer- sity probably longer than any member of tha present faculty. His many degrees attest his remarkable career along scientific lines. Notable among his achievements is the performance of the first X-ray in Nebraska, in 1896 — perhaps the first in the middle-west. At present he is professor of Chemistry and Metallurgy, as well as chemist for the City of Omaha and is a nationally recognized scientist. Dr. Frank J. Viner, D. D.

After a very humble beginning, sharing quarters with the Medical College, the Creighton School of Law has de- veloped and risen spectacularly, until now its graduates occupy a prominent, if not outstanding, position in the legal, judicial and political life of the middle-west par- ticularly, and more or less over the entire country. To the graduate of 1928 a bit of history might be interesting. In 1904, Father Michael Dowling, then President of the LJniversity, called upon one of his former pupils, Mr. James C. Kinsler, A. B., ' 81, and a graduate of Harvard Law School, ' 98, (now United States District Attorney) to formulate plans for a Creighton Law College, using the same general system under which he studied at Harvard. Mr. Kinsler com- plied by organizing a faculty among the prominent jurists and attorneys of Omaha, and introducing the Langdellian or case system of teaching law — the study of cases in the chronological order of their occurrence, according to the legal principles which they include. Mr. Timothy J. Mahoney was the first Dean. Among the early teachers were Judge Howard Kennedy, Mr. William J. Coad, Mr. R. W. Breckenridge, Mr. Charles J. Greene, Mr. Paul Martin (who later became Dean), Mr. William Schall, Mr. John Burke and Mr. Kinsler. LOUIS J. TE POEL, A. M., LL. Dean of the School of Law. B. After its initial launching, in its quarters in the Med- ical College, the Law College was moved into the Edward Creighton Institute, and, in 1921, into its present quarters, the new, modern. School of Law building on the campus. In twenty-four years it has grown in efficiency and prestige until today [Page 51 } U..J HUGH F. GILLESPIE, A. M., LL. M. Professor of Law. CHARLES F. BONGARDT, A. M., LL. M. Professor of Law. it enjoys both a healthy registration and a wide-spread prominence and recognition in legal circles. Ar present the registration totals one hundred fifty-nine full time students. The School of Law has received a Class A rating from the American Bar Association, and is a member of the Association of American Law Schools. In 1907, the Nebraska State Legislature passed a bill providing for the admission of Creighton Law Graduates to the bar without examination, a significant step, masmuch as the quality of the work done at Creighton was recognized as being at least equal to that done in the state university. It has been one of the pioneers in developing the practical side of legal training, through the introduction of courses in moot court and legal bibliography, two important branches of practice work.

The Creighton School of Medicine has graduated, since its birth, over a thousand students who are serving in every state in the Union. Many of these have attracted attention as scientists, physicians and surgeons of note. The City of Omaha claims more than a hundred of Creighton ' s Medical graduates as successful practitioners.

Since that year the College has enjoyed a steady growth in enrollment, and simultaneously has sought to better its rating. At present it is a Class A College, having become a member in 1916 of the American Conference of Pharmaceutical Faculties, an organization whose membership is limited to the best colleges of Pharmacy. The College is also registered in the New York Department of Education and by the Boards of Pharmacy of Ohio and other states maintain- ing registration boards. Its diploma is recognized by the examining boards of all the states, and its credits are recognized by all the leading Pharmacy colleges. In 1925 the course was lengthened from two to three years in order to qualify for a Class A rating. This department is noted on the campus for its unity and for its wide scope of extra-curricular activities. It has many social activities, independent of the Union affairs. It possesses two national fraternities and two sororities. Its annual field day is a big event. The enrollment this year was 139 regular students. The faculty consists of ten leading doctors and pharma- cists. The dispensary, which works in conjunction with the Medical clinic, prepares thousands of prescriptions annually. Rev. William P.

Q)uchesne Members of the Blue gay Staff N the work of harmonizing the spirit, interests qJ and relations of Duchesne with Creighton, the students have played the leading role. The chron- icle of the University, records the successful participat-on of Duchesne students in numerous campus activities. No field of student endeavor, outside of athletics, has failed to feel the influence and initiative of Duchesne in tlie three years cf its connection with Creighton. In this, the golden anniversary yearbook of Creighton, the members of the Duchesne Blue Jay staff must be congratulated for the spirit and effectiveness which char- acterized their share of the work in preparing this epochal volume. ' u [ Page 123 t he ukwana Stajf ' HE literary efforts of Duchnese find utterance in The Pukwana, a { monthly, edited by the students. Those who contribute feel that their ideas at least, are well traveled for the Pukwana claims the world as the limit of its circulation. Copies are sent to Europe, Australia, South Amer- ica, Africa, and Asia besides to the north, south, east and west of the United States. The magazine is generally made up of several articles, a short story, book reviews, a society column and news items. It has been recognized and commended by several literary critics. This praise is largely due to the competent members of the staff and to the efficiency of its editor-in-chief, Mary Lou Maainnis Pukwana Staff Editor-in-Chief Mary Lou Maginnis ' 29 Assistant Editor Marion Buller ' 28 Literary Editor Mildred Guggenmos ' 29 Poetry Editor Bertha Loomis ' 30 Society Editor Adeline Proulx ' 30 Business Manager Myrtle Mae Melcher ' 29 [ Page 124 m Q)ramatics HE most notable public event ever sponsored by Duchesne was the presentation of fO The Persian Princess last May at the Knights of Columbus Club. The Persian Princess is a delightful operetta composed of beautiful choruses and rich solo parts, especially those of Zobeide, the princess, played, by Beatrice Apts. The orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Robert Cuscaden mastered the accompaniment, and the cast in presenting the operetta displayed wonderful technique and professional finish, and made of it a com- plete success. The dramatization of ' The Holy Grail, staged at Duchesne this year for the second time, carried with it again all the appeal and charm of the legends of the Round Table. The play- ers seemed to grasp the spirit of the story and made the old tale relive. [Page 125 basket all T) ASKETBALL is the only organized sport at Duchesne, although others such as tennis, cjij baseball and volleyball are enthusiastically entered into by the students. In basket- ball, Duchesne plays no outside teams, but inter-class games and College-Academy games are featured throughout the season. The cage achievements of the 1927-28 teams have been most satisfactory. Mildred Guggenmos, who has shown wonderful ability in whatever activity she enters, has shown no less skill in basketball. Training both at Duchesne and with the Knights of Columbus team has excel- lently fitted her for the position of captain. MILDRED GUGGENMOS Captain.

[Page 134] School of SYursing HE Creighton Memorial St. Joseph ' s Hospital graduated in its first class in 1901 a group of thirteen Sisters. Until 1917 the School was comprised of Sisters of St. Francis and Sisters of other communities. A school for laywomen was organized Nov. 20, 1917 and in June, 1920 a class of twenty was graduated from Creighton University through the courtesy of its faculty. Including the class of the present year two hundred and fifteen nurses are numbered among its alumnae. The schedule covers three years training. It conforms to the requirements of the State of Nebraska in time and curriculum. The lectures are given by instructors of Creighton University School of Medicine, with which the hospital is affiliated; since February 1, 1928 additional lectures by instructors of Creighton College of Arts and Sciences are given in virtue of the School ' s affiliation with Creighton Univeristy. The nurses have the advantages of a well equipped hospital. Practical instruction in the care of the sick under the supervision of the Sisters of St. Francis, Registered Nurses, enables the nurse to meet any emergency. The time allotment gives actual experi- ence in the operating room, in the administration of anesthetics, in the laboratory, diet kitchen. X-ray, pharmacy, pediatric depart- ment, department of mental and nervous diseases, obstetrics, sur- gical and medical departments and in floor supervision. This gives the nurse a background for future postgraduate work. Three years of training and two years of college entitles the nurse to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing. ..-......f ..

FRANK P. FOGARTY, A. B. ' 26 Editor CyT S the official organ of the Creighton University Alumni Q y Assodiq , The Creighton Alumnus is rapidly gaining a praiftinent position among the publications of the Univer- sity. It is published monthly at the publicity offices of the Univer- sity in the College of Commerce, Finance, and Journalism, and is edited by Frank P. Fogarty, A. B. ' 26, director of publicity. Besides the usual news of interest to old grads, the Creigh- ton Alumnus contains timely editorials on current collegiate topics, the achievements of the various athletic and debate squads, and a digest of campus news. One of the features of the publication is the cover, which, ordinarily, uses as its theme some picturesque campus view. Contributions from Alumni are welcomed, along with any sugges- tions for the furtherance of the aims and ideals of the Association. [ Page 140 Greighton University cj lumni J. FREDERICK LANGDON, M.

GILLESPIE Chairman of Homecoming Committee NE of the greatest assets of a university is its harvest of alumni, when they are bonded together in an organization which strengthens the ties of fellowship and loyalty to their alma mater. The Creighton University Alumni Association is gradually accomplish- ing this end. The Association is governed by a council of fifteen members. Each of the University ' s six major departments has two representatives in the council, which is presided over by a presi- dent, elected by general ballot of the alumni. A vice-president is elected in the same manner. The remaining member of the council, the secretary-treasurer, is appointed by the president of the University by and with the consent of the council. Elections are held annually at Homecoming. The present officers are: Frank McDermott, A. B. ' 14, LL. B. ' 16, president; Dr. J. Frederick Lanodon, M. D. ' 04, vice president; Frank P. FoiJartv, A. B. ' 26, secretary- treasurer. The members of the Alumni Council are: Dr. John W. Duncan and Dr. H. J. Jenkins for Medicine; Dr. D. E. Conley and Dr. Robert Schemel for Dentistry; G. Turner Haines and J. W. Roberts for Pharmacy; Hugh F. Gillespie and Charles F. Bongardt for Law; Robert Burkley and Thomas Coleman for Arts; and John Begley and Adolph Hallas for Commerce and Finance. One half of the Council changes at each fall election. Guy Gadbois, A. B. ' 27, was engaged as special assistant to President McDermott during the 1927-1928 school year, to aid in the furtherance of a membership campaign. Although the Association ' s efforts in support of the University is in most instances of a moral character, it has in late years mobilized its forces and entered into the field of Univer- sity activity along certain specific lines; namely, their efforts to fill the stadium, spreading publicity, doing local missionary work, managing Homecoming celebrations, and the forma- tion of Creighton Clubs in nearby towns and larger centers of population.

Though it stands in tribute to the immunity which Creighton students enjoyed from an epidemic of influenza, it is deeply characteristic of the Creighton religious fervor. Such is also the Sodality of the Blessed Vir- gin in its weekly meetings. The section for Arts and Commerce students is under the di- rection of the Rev. Joseph A. Herbers, Dean of Men. The Professional Students ' Sodality is under the direction of the Rev. T. J. Moore. The Rev. Joseph C. Flynn conducts a weekly chapel service for Arts and Commerce stu- dents, supplementing the classes in Religion. The aim of all religious organizations and activities, namely, religious education, is most vividly achieved in the annual retreat conducted between semesters by outstanding retreat masters of the Jesuit Order. This year ' s retreat was conducted by Rev. Theodore J. Schulte, Dean of Activities of St. Louis University. During this year, also. Rev. Daniel Lord conducted a Sodality school which aroused such interest that faculty members, in conjunction with Rev. Thomas Egan, Dean of the Summer School, organized their own Sodality, meeting bimonthly. Officers in this Sodality are Pro- fessors Bernard A. Kennedy, Prefect; J. J. Donovan and J. P.

Anticipating just criticisms, and admitting that we are not without our short- comings, we wish to offer an explanation for the innovations and changes we have made, since many of them were made necessarily, not by choice. i ROBERT BRITT, HUGH FOGARTY, BURKETT HERRICK, LORENTZ PETTINGER BYRON REED, LILLIAN WHITE, LAWRENCE FELTEN, CARL PETERS [Page 168] GEORGE W. KOEHN Business Manager. With the high goal of an Anniversary number to aim at, the staff received the dis- couraging announcement from the Student Union Board of Governors that the budget of the 1928 Blue Jay would be substantially below that of previous years, since the Union was facing financial embarrassment, due to the large deficits incurred by the past editions of che Blue Jay. The staff was informed also, that, if necessary, the size and quality of the book should be decreased commensurate to the amount of money which could be appropriated. This policy of the publishers, the Student Union Board of Governors, can only be commended; nevertheless, it was unfortunate that it came at this time, when it could reason- ably be expected that the Blue Jay would reach its highest degree of excellence in its five years of existence. We believe that the 1928 Blue Jay will please you — we believe as well that the high standards of the past have been at least maintained. And to those of you who might be interested in the financial aspect of our undertaking, we wish to say — and this is the greatest pleasure for us — that the 1928 Blue Jay is the first to be a successful business undei taking.

HE present school year has meant to the Creightonian a period of further develop- ment and perfection. Now completing its si.xth year it is bigger and better than ever, the present staff surpassing in zeal and journalistic effort any that has gone before. The Creightonian, a weekly newspaper dedicated to the interests of the students of the University, first made its appearance on the campus on October 4, 1922. The first newspaper was a small five column journal, having four pages and a temporary staff. The steady growth which has rewarded the efforts of this and subsequent staffs can be more readily appreciated after a perusal of this unpretentious first effort. Today it is a seven column paper and a recognized leader among college newspapers, especially, with regard to its value as an adver- tising medium. Robert G. Phipps, Arts College senior, proved to be a hard working and fearless editor during the first semester. He was followed by Albert Russell, a member of the junior Dental class and sports editor under Phipps. Three noteworthy appointments on the mid-year staff were those of Frank Pellegrin to the position of managing editor. Miss Gene Mari Vana as city editor and Lawrence J. Felten as sports editor. Pellegrin is the first freshman to be so honored and Miss Vana is the first co-ed to attain the city editorship. Page 171 } ROBERT G. PHIPPS Editor-in-chief. STAFF FIRST SEMESTER Robert G. Phipps.

Starting the season with only five veterans, the sophomore candidates soon proved their worth and the squad was speedily developed to the high standard set in former years. Coached by Frank P. Fogarty, a former Creighton University Debater, the team proved an equal match for the country ' s finest squads. Mr. Fogarty was able to inculcate into his proteges his own extraordinary power of analysis and argumentation. Considering the fact that the squad which Mr. Fogarty had to work with this year was largely composed FRANK P. FOGARTY Debate Coach. Page 178] EPHRAIM MARKS GERALD VASAK GEORGE HAVEL of men who had no previous experience in College debating, he deserves unlimited praise for the commendable way in which he prepared them for the season. To Captain Louis Lipp no small measure of credit is due for the splendid work of the squad. Lipp proved to be an invaluable assistant to Coach Fogarty because of his three years ' experience as a Varsity Debater and also because of his unusual ability as an ex- temporaneous speaker. The careful management of the schedule-making is due to John Dugan, the Debate Manager. The season just past saw the appearance of a number of new teams on the Home Schedule, and for the first time Creighton engaged in an intersectional contest. On the home schedule Marquette University, Loyola Univeisity, and Drake Univer- sity were met and defeated. William Jewell College and St. Thomas College were vic- torious over the Blue and White. The debates with the University of Missouri, Kansas State Agricultural College, and the University of Pittsburgh were no decision affairs. A team composed of Elmer Ogren, Ephraim Marks, and Gerald Vasak represented the University on a trip south, where the Kansas State Teachers College was defeated.

It has progressed more since it was organized in 1922 than any other extra curricular activity that has been introduced in the last few years. Beginning with a small membetship, selective in character, the club, since its inception, has advanced to an enviable position and as in most organizations of this character the origin may be traced to the initiative of a few individuals. During the spring of 1922, Rev. Father William J. Grace, S, J., President of the Univer- sity an dthen Dean of the Arts School, and Charles Costello, Junior Arts student organized FRED MORROW Director of Dramatics.

For the first two years of the club ' s existence it was a very exclusive organization, having ten members. It was thought that an unwieldly organization was too difficult to command, and that it was easier for the producer to marshall the talent, limited but willing, and conse- quently they proceeded on this plan. The second year of the club ' s work marked a step for- ward. During Holy Week, the Passion Play was presented at the Brandeis Theater. The cast included members of the club, members of the alumni and a few outsiders. The club has presented a varied selection of plays since its beginning. Among these we find the works of many of our favorite playrights, such as Charlie ' s Aunt, Dulcy, The Copperhead, Icebound, The Family Upstairs, The Rear Car and The Detour. At the beginning of the piesent year Rev. Father Grace, S. J., appointed Rev. Father Doyle, S. J., to supervise the work of the club. After becoming acquainted with the conditions at Creighton, he decided to introduce the Group Idea of Dramatics in order to give all those who were interested in dramatics an opportunity to work. The object of the dramatic club is to broaden one ' s education, develop his unknown powers and give him an appreciation of art through which he will be able to enjoy life to a fuller extent.

[Page 185] ine cj rts y c)REIGHTON has been denied a department of Fine Arts. yl Art, however, is very close, very vital to student activity at Creighton; it has animated a number of valuable organiza- tions with a briUiant history which extends to the days when the University registration was very hmited. In accord with the great purview of the Creighton scheme of education, men of unquestionable ability and general prestige have directed its Fine Arts organizations. Leadership in the organiza- tions devoted to esthetics is determined by popular vote, which invariably selects a student of broad experience and high ideals. A scrupulous exclusiveness in these organizations has, been their prime asset and a great factor in building those inseparable bonds which unite lovers of the beautiful to Creighton University. Its prestige as a center of culture and art is not merely local, for by means of the radio it has extended to the far corners of our continent as the message of its artistic interpretation is transmitted. On the other hand the University has been very generous in presenting artists of national prominence both in the city of Omaha and the campus itself. [ Page 186 } he University Orchestra ' HE study of music is the prime purpose of the Creighton yfj University Orchestra both from the educational and recreational point of view. This is achieved by the read- ing of a large variety of works for their melodic, rhvthmic, and technical value. A large library of music, including a collection of suitable works for the orchestra, is available. The orchestra was first assembled in 1905 by Brother OCon- nell. The first orchestra was small and had an incomplete instru- mentation. With increasing success the Fathers directed the orchestra until 1917. when the present director. Mr. Henry G. Cox. took charge. The small organization of 1905 has grovt-n to a well balanced organization with a membership of thirtv. Promi- nent in the orchestra are several musicians from the Omaha Symphony Orchestra and other professional groups. The orchestra is governed by the students themselves and Ernest E. Bergman is their president. Under the able direction of Mr. Cox the orchestra has held an enviable place in the musical activities of the Universin, ' and the present organization shows promise of holding this place. [P.AGE 187 be Qlee Glub ( ' HE Club has been active throughout the year, appearing at various times before the fO student body, the alumni, Omaha social clubs and theatres, high schools, and radio audiences. The repertoire includes such classics as Beethoven ' s Hallelujah Chorus, Kreisler ' s The Old Refrain, Gypsy John, Sylvia, and Songs My Mother Taught Me, besides many numbers of a more popular character. Apart from the pleasure and benefits which the individual members have derived from association with the club, the University and student body gen- erally have profited by the favorable publicity which has attended every concert since the club ' s organiza- tion in nineteen hundred and ten. Distinctly an in- tellectual activity, the work of the club has wielded no little influence for refinement and culture and that nice appreciation of art which is characteristic of the thoroughly educated man. Henry G. Cox is director of the club and James O ' Brien is president. JAMES O ' BRIEN President [Page 188] Social , ' i ' !

The 1928 Prom will long remain one of the outstanding events in Creighton history, and the major share of the credit belongs to Edward D. Murphy, Student Union manager, who was general chairman of the aflFair. Wendell Schmidt, Dentistry senior, acted as Lord High Chancellor. Two seniors from each college in the University were chosen as princes of the royal court, and from these twelve men the king was selectd, his idntity being kept secret until the Lord Chancellor ' s announcement at the Prom.

Atmospheric decorations and un- usual novelties were given new meanings by the craftsmanship of Edward D. Murphy, Union manager, who merits the bulk of the credit for the success of these affairs, and the walls of the ol ' gym fairly bulged out with the radiance of youth and happiness. Tradition held sway when the Frosh Frolic opened the season on October 18, and the yearlings in green headgear did their stuff to the tunes of the popular College Club Orchestra. Next the football men and coaches were honored, at the Blue Jay Ball on November 22, when each of the players was presented with a memento for his loyal services. Down the river on the Midwinter Excursion sailed a merry crew on February 20. Pitch ' s Memphis Pipers were en deck for this, the most colorful dance of the year, when bales of cotton, confetti, and red lemon- ade, turned the gym floor into an old river boat for the evening.

That the 1928 Bluejay five, led by Captain Joe Beha, was no exception is evidenced by the enviable record which they achieved. Opposing sixteen of the strongest teams representing the six major conferences in the west and far west, the Blue was forced to bow in defeat on only three occasions and then by scant margins. The Oregon Aggies, Pacific Coast luminaries, furnished the initial competi- tion of the season when they dropped a pair of hard fought games to the speedy Blue by the scores of 34 to 28 and 17 to 16.

Colorado University proved to be the next victim, the Jays trouncing them in both ends of a double header tc the tune of 41 to 24 and 52 to 13. The Blues received their first setback of the season at Milwaukee when the Marquette University Golden Avalanche eked out a dangerously close 26 to 20 victory. The game was j thrilling affair and at no time did either team hold a commanding lead. Wi? [Page 210] SI 1 Creighton proved that it was still the class of the North Central confer- ence when it sent the University of South Dakota coyotes home on the short end of a 31 to 16 score. The University of Iowa eager:: staged a rally in the dying moments of the game to overcome a lead which the Jays had maintained for three quarters of the contest, winning 30 to 26 at Iowa City. It was the first victory that the Hawks ever achieved over the Blue. A long range offensive which the Jays unloosed on the speedy Coe college five resulted in a 40 to 36 victory for Schabinger ' s trained birds. The Kohawks forced Creighton to the limit to achieve this victory. In one of the fastest and most spectacular contests of the year the Blue Jays defeated the Grinnell college Pioneers by the score of 24 to 19. Play was close throughout and the triumph was gained only by a splendid spurt in the closing moments of the game. The second North Central foe, Mcrningside, proved no match for the Schabinger five, the Birds taking the long end of a 57 to 23 count. The Jays were traveling at an exceptionally fas ' iJ clip and at no time did the Maroons threaten. a [Page 211 Captah Joe and Coach Schabinger Talk it Over. The Strategy Council in Session. The superior heighth of the Creighton five was a big factor in the 38 to 25 victory achieved over the St. Louis university five. Injuries and a continua- tion of the inehgibihty bug forced Coach Schabinger to resort to his reserves, who performed in great style. History repeated itself when the Jays handed the Marquette university five a 38 to 21 trouncing on the Omaha court. This atoned for the defeat which they had encountered at Milwaukee earlier in the season. Playing the Hillyards, National A. A. U. champs, on even terms through- out the contest, the Blue Jays were defeated in the last few seconds of play by a 30 to 29 score. Play during the game was exceedingly fast, although both teams were decidedly off form en basket shooting. E xhibiting an entirely different brand of basketball the Morningside Maroons forced the Jays to the limit to win 27-24. The boys from the cornlands almost accomplished the same feat that they achieved last year. The second encounter of the season with South Dakota U was some- thing of a repetition of the first engagement. The final score of the contest was 55 to 26 in favor of the Blue. The Blue Jays ended another glorious court campaign when they took the measure of the St. Louis University Billikens by a 48 to 26 count. The Bills presented one of the fastest outfits to appear on the Creighton floor during the season. i [Page 212] freshman basketball JOHNNY TRAUTMAN Freshman Basketball Coach. One of the most important reasons for the continued success of Creighton basketball teams is its steady stream of new material. Simultaneously with the graduation of some of our greatest stars has come the prediction that Creighton basketball supremacy was on the downward path. Subsequent developments have always proved the contrary, however; and no substantial reason can be given, except the development of the Freshman candidates.

The Senior Arts repeated last year ' s performance by winning their division and conquering the Senior Dents in the final championship game. Each class was unusually well represented by rooters, proving that intramural sports are taking rapid strides to create an interest among the students. In division A, the Senior Arts won, nosing out the Juniors in their last meeting. The Freshman Arts and Freshman Commerce also had fast teams to afford plenty of competition. In division B, the Senior Dents again won after a hard battle with their tooth-pulling brothers, the Juniors. The Freshman Medics and Junior Pharmacy teams also finished high in the percentage column. i [Page 214] he Usherettes Coach Arthur A.

Captain Sas Keane, whose performance featured every meet, together with the sophomore spring stars, FHnt, Solomon, and Reed, were the bright hghts in last year ' s achievements. The Kansas City A.

It was here that Keane convinced the fans that he is one of the fastest hurdlers in the West by placing second in the 60 yard low hurdle event. He was the only col- lege man to place, Gallagher of the K. C. A. C. winning the race. At the Kansas University relays, the Blues garnered three fourth places. The quartet of speedy Blues, Keane, Flint, Solomon and Reed, ran the 440 in 42:8 seconds to beat Nebraska and Drake but faster time made in other sections rele- gated the Jays to fourth place. In the half-mile relay the Blue covered the distance in 1:29.8 while Keane placed fourth in the 100 yard dash. The peiformance of the Blue Jay speedsters at the Drake relays was the highlight of the season. The half mile relay team won first in its section by the fast time of 1 : 29.4. Keane, competing for the last time under Creighton colors, ran a wonderful race to pull in ahead of the highly touted Farley of Missouri. [ Page 220 ] The annual dual meet with South Dakota State proved to be a one sided affair. The Blue Jays, scoring slams in three events and winning a total of ten nrsts, scored 97 points while the Jackrabbits were collecting 37. This victory later in the season afforded the Jays some consolation when the Bunnies were returned the victors in the North Central conference meet. The Jays finished the season by scoring 26 points at the conference meet at Sioux City to finish third in the final standings. The performance of Flint was one of the outstanding performances of the day. The flying mormon captured first in both the 100 and 220 yard dashes as well as running anchor on the winning half mile relay team. Other points for the Blue Jays were scored by Solomon in the hundred, Schroeder in the 220, Butterfield in the 440, Watke in the pole vault, Fogarty in the half mile and mile and Schmidt in the mile and two mile. Every man who performed in the conference meet will be back this year, and these, with a host of promising freshmen, should give Creighton one of the best balanced track teams in years. The only indoor competition scheduled for the Blue in the 1928 season was the Kansas City indoor relays. At this meet Hollenbeck, competing against a strong field, won first in the 880 while the mile relay team placed second to the Oklahoma Aggies in their heat. In the outdoor schedule, which includes the Kansas and Drake relays, a dual meet and the conference meet, the followers of the track squad are looking forward to some notable achievements.

This emergency gave rise to the Students Army Training Corps. These reserve units were established in all colleges and universities which were capable of conducting them. Creighton is very proud of the long list of men which were sent from her S. A. T. C. to the Officers Training Campsi and to the enlisted personnel of the Army. The S. A. T. C. was disbanded at Creighton from December 8th to 11th, 1918. The R. O. T. C. was established in the College of Arts and Sciences during January, 1919. The first battalion was formed in September of the same year with 136 basic men and no advanced class. Captain C. S. Hoffman was detailed by the War Department to fill the capacity of Professor of Military Science and Tactics. In 1921 the battalion had only 122 basic men, but the first year advanced class boasted 12 men and the second year advanced class, 1 man. ii iiU jmWiM ' . THE BATTALION IN REVIEW.

There were in this unit 83 basic men. The same year Major F. M. Brannan relieved Captain Hoffman as Professor of Military Science and Tactics. Due to the growth of the University in 1923 the infantry battalion swelled to 289 with an advanced class of 30 while the Dental unit was 147 strong. The battalion was formed of three rifle companies instead of two as heretofore. This was necessary to take care of the increased advanced class. The War Department granted commissions in the Officers Reserve Corps to nine men of the advanced class. The spirit of competition was stimulated by the presentation each month of a guidon of the college colors to the company which stood best in General Efficiency. FIRST YEAR ADVANCE CORPS. [ Page 229 ] COMPANY A. The next year, 1924-25, this spirit of competition was increased by additional awards. A target lifle was given to the highest scorer in markmanship and a saber was presented to the member of the graduating class who was highest in Efficiency. The Advanced Course students were given tailored uniforms and computations for the first time. The Dental Unit celebrated its third year by graduating its first class of thirty-three mem- bers into the R. O. T. C. In 1925-26 the infantry unit grew to 381 members and the Dental Unit 174 members. Last year Major G. R. Hicks came to relieve Major Brannan and under his management several changes were made. The classes were conducted on Tuesday from 12:00 to 5:00 instead of at short periods during the week. Competition was stimulated by the award of COMPANY B.

Especial effort was put forth by the members of the staff to make the several courses in mihtary more interesting. A new small arms gallery was built for the musketry course and for inter-collegiate and Corps Area rifle matches. Last summer the first year advanced class of eighteen members was detailed to Fort Crook for six weeks duty. This was the first R. O. T. C. encampment ever held at Fort Crook. Previous classes have always gone to Fort Snelling, Minnesota. The past year has been unusually successful as regards enrollment, progress and spirit.

The advanced men have been allowed to assist in the instruction of the basic men in their theoretical subjects. The rifie range has been improved and has attained much popularity. Major Rush of the Dental Unit was relieved at the beginning of the year by Major E. Milburne. The efficiency and excellence of the Corps is gradually increasing, and it hopes to soon rival the best of the colleges. THE DENTAL R. O. T, C. UNIT. [ Page 232 ] Organizations JEROME A.

The members of this club were lovers of the language and were more enthusiastic in their efforts to improve their use of the tongue at their meetings than were the other language clubs. The recitation of German poems and the singing of German songs constituted the major portion of the entertainment at all meetings of this club.

The Society was originated to meet the need for an organization of the gradu- ates of Jesuit Colleges and Universities, to strengthen the bonds of friend- ship and alliance in the support of the time renowned Jesuit system of Education. The Creighton Class of ' 26 was the first to advance this organization. The Order has established chapters in a number of Jesuit Colleges and Universities since its inauguration at Creighton and is becoming a vital organization in these institutions. It has for its purpose the drawing to- gether of the graduates in support of the theory of education of which they are the products. The National office of the Order of the Gold Caldron is at Creighton and, is under the direction of Lorentz A. Pettinger and James L.

The Association was founded in 1884 and is preceded only by the League of the Sacred Heart. Leaders in student life have invariably been members of the organization and have striven to retain the characteristic exclusiveness which the Association maintained. In 1920 exclusiveness was sacrificed to offer opportunities to a greater number and to members of every department. In this same year members of the debating squad were also re- quired to attend the weekly meetings and to participate in the open house discussions. Officers of the organization are: Leo Loxterkamp, president; James Cash, vice-president, and George Skow, secretary-treasurer. LEO LOXTERKAMP President.

Starting with a larger membership than it had any other year, the club has been able to widen the scope of its activities to give its members a better appreciation of the language, customs, literature and culture of the Spanish speaking nations. Primarily a social club, this student organization has succeeded, through the medium of lectures and moving pictures, in bringing to its members a newer and a better appreciation of all Spanish speaking nations. The club was well represented at the Cosmopolitan dance and at the annual Language club picnic. Page 256 } mi iimor This, land and indulgent reader, is the Pinfeather Section.

It has been well proved that a pleasant, orderly class-room de- velops a love of order; that ap- pointments which minister to health create an appreciation of the importance of health; that sanitary and well-kept retiring rooms develop instinctive, self- respecting cleanliness. Thus the physical equipment of a school has come to be ranked by leading educators as second in importance only to the quality of the teaching and administrative staffs. CRANE CO W. T.
