With subsequent growth it now contains the Offices of Admin- istration, the home of the Jesuit Faculty, the Creighton University High School, and the Arts College.

St. gobn ' s Wall St. John ' s Hall has been a familiar landmark of the University for the past three decades, having been erected in 1900 for the purpose of taking care of those men from outside of the city. It has accommodations for over one hundred boys, but that is far from being suffi- cient, as the need for more dormitories has long been felt. Familiarly known as the Beanery ever since its exist- ence, it has been more than a mere landmark, but has become a real tradition of Creighton. The Hall at present is being conducted under the direc- tion of Father Eugene P. Mullaney, S. J., who has always been highly efficient in coping with the influx of freshmen each September.
