PI [[c«t I g.I.fi T.;»»T abT T iSUT.a T JtOTW »»T.iy»T« S !f T [ja] College of Arts and Sciences ' REV. JOSEPH C. FLYNN, S. J. T ean HE close of this scholastic term marks the end of the fifty-first year of continuous service of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. It would be a hazard to indulge in a re- trospect of those years. To do so would draw a merited complaint from many an Alumnus who could justly instance more than one important omission. Rather, let us accept the glorious herit- age, and possessed of its spirit, look to the future for a larger expansion of the herit- age with its privileges and its prestige. Fifty years ago, the esteemed Founders, Edward and Mary, John and Emily Creighton, planned that the students of the College should be recruited from all ranks of society. The students came. And who will not say that through these students, Creighton established itself as a potent factor in the development of the West. Then, and in the succeeding years, it invited the sons of the pioneers to the uplands of learning and the pride in its achievement is surely pardonable. The bachelors ' degree is no longer an adequate testimony of completed work. By it the lower levels of scholarship have been attained, but the heights are calling to the ambitious. Graduate study with its specialization and research beckons the under- graduate onward and upward. The sons of Creighton must become the leaders of American thought and the directors of the Greater America. They must contribute their share to raise the intelligence of the people, produce a few of the great leaders of tomorrow and add their quota to the sum of human knowledge. Rev. Joseph C. Flynn, S.

m |fsggT5g TO»Mrf«s»i»igi»T iSUTWs ! aui m Continued progress and expansion has marked the College of Arts and Sciences during the last year, the fifty-second in its history. Considered as the heart of the University, the Arts College, which was the first of the many benefactions of the Creigh- tcn family, was established in 1878. The original Arts College building at Twenty-fifth and Califor- nia streets is still standing and comprises the mid- dle section of the present College of Arts and Sciences. It contains the Offices of Administration, the home of the Jesuit Faculty, the Creighton Uni- versity High School, and the Arts College. In ad- dition to its numerous recitation rooms the building contains modernly equipped laboratories for the Departments of Chemistry and Physics as well as spacious reading and reference room in connection with the University Library which contains about 50,000 volumes available for student use. One of the landmarks of the Creighton campus is the Astronomical Observatory which is located most advantageously to command an unusually extensive sky. Equipped with a five-inch equatorial, a three-inch transit, a micrometer, and an ex- tensive library, the Observatory is truly the rendezvous where planets are brought to the portals of inquiring minds. Perhaps the fastest growing department of the Arts College is the Graduate School, which has control of all graduate work carried on in the University. It aims to offer advanced courses and apportunities for reseach in the various departments of the University and its development has been essential in the building of a greater Creighton. The Graduate School is under the direction of Acting Dean H. F. Fore, who came to Creighton in the fall of 1928. HARRY F. FORE oActing T ean of the Graduate School Hugh M. P. Higgins Seniors Fred P.
