WALSH T ean HE keynote of present day American busi- 2 sounded in the recent report of the President ' s Commission on Recent Economic Changes. Especially emphasized was the point that there have been no basic recent eco- nomic changes, but that business today is charact- erized by an increased tempo all along the line. Never was there greater need for enlightened leadership than at the present time. Keen competition makes demands upon every organization for greater econ- omics, greater efficiency and more effective management in every phase of business, whether merchandising, operating, or financial. The larger business organizations grow, the more dependent they necessarily become on accounting and statistical in- formation to guide them in formulating policies and handling their affairs. The young man entering business today needs as never before a broad training in the fundamental principles of economics and business administration, and at the same time a thorough working knowledge of the practical application of these prin- ciples to the various branches of industry, commerce and finance. Second only in importance to enlightened leadership in business, is the necessity for an enlightened public. This can only be assured when newspaper workers are trained in the fundamentals of journalism, super-imposed on a sound economic and social background. Floyd E.

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.

This college is the youngest of the University group. The four-year course offered comprises two natural divisions, the first two years being devoted to the attainment of a broad cultural background and to furnish such training in the fundamental principles of business as will prepare and fit the student for the intensive analysis re- quired by the highly specialized commerce courses pursued during his final two years. The advantages of location of the school in a large industrial and commercial center makes for close contacts with actual business affairs and it is these contacts that materially assist the student in determining his particular field in the realm of modern business. The Rev. Thomas A. Egan, S. J., is Regent, and Floyd E. Walsh, A. M., B. S. C. is Dean of the College. REV. THOMAS A. EGAN, S. J. I egent Raymond Van Overschelde F. E.
