Floyd E. Walsh Dean The College of Commerce, Finance and Journalism Though it is the youngest department of Creighton, the College of Commerce, Finance and Journalism has become through its progress one of the most active on the campus. Its course of study, in the form of a four-year course, provides the graduate of this department with a thorough understanding of the theoretical and practical angles of business as it is in America today. The four-year course offered is comprised of two divisions, the first two years being devoted to the attainment of a broad cultural background and the remaining two in highly specialized commerce courses. Journalism students take practically the same course,with stress being placed on journalistic subjects the third and fourth years. The Chamber of Commerce is an honorary organization of the college, formed to encourage and reward scholarship, leadership and accomplishment along the lines of business and journalistic activity among the students. Since, in reality, the Chamber as such is only the board of directors of the main body, of which all students in the college are members, the Chamber becomes larger THE COMMERCE SCHOOL FACULTY z6

The Chamber of Commerce proper is a parent organization to several sub- sidiaries which function along more specialized lines and in which membership is open to the entire student body and is restricted only by their specific training in the subject. Chief among these are the Ac- countants ' Round Table and the Economics Society. The Junior Journalism Club, also under the supervision of the Chamber, was formed to carry out the same purpose in the journalistic field. Prominent newspaper men are asked to speak before the club for the purpose of acquainting the students with the newspaper field. The University Press Club, although not connected with the Chamber, is because of parallel interests in active co-operation with the Chamber. The Commerce Club was first introduced in 19x5 as an organization composed of all students in the College of Commerce. The club was reorganized in 19x8 into a smaller and more effective unit, the Creighton University Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber attempts to meet the demands of the students for an extra-curricular activity for the college as a distinct institution. • ■ « » ■ ; 2-7 PELLEGRIN • McCABE • DUGAN BOYLE
