The oard of Regents IN the background of all of Creighton ' s accomplishments is the Board of Regents, composed of some of the most prominent and successful men of Omaha. These men through their executive ability, business connections and in- fluence are the impelling force of many Creighton projects. With its in- terest always at heart, they are ever on the alert to aid in establishing and maintaining the confidence and respect of the citizens of Omaha and the Middle West, in the University. Much of Creighton ' s prestige and prominence is due directly to these men. The good will that they have built up for the University is of immeasur- able value. The President of the University, the Rev. Patrick J. Mahan, S. J., is a member of the Board, in which capacity he represents directly the students and the faculty. The members of the present Board are: The Rev. Patrick J. Mahan, S. J., president of the University; William J. Coad, president of the Omaha Flour Mills Company; Fred Hamilton, vice-president of the Omaha National Bank, and Frank J. Burkley, president of the Burkley Envelope and Print- ing Company. Rev. P. J. Mahan, S. J. Fred Hamilton

REV. PATRICK J. MAHAN, S. J The President ' s Message THE graduates of 1932 are going forth from Creighton to join the ranks of those who, by their ideals, their principles, their activities, are shaping the civilization and destinies of our country. They have acquired, it is true, a certain amount of practical knowledge and practical skill which fit them to earn a livelihood and even to gain a comfortable competence, but if this is all that they have gained, Creighton has failed in its sacred function of forming youth for worthy living and the graduates themselves are going forth with but a stone when they should have been given bread. It is the hope of Creighton, however, that her graduates are going forth with the con- viction that their most valuable possession is love for the social, moral, patriotic and religious ideals for which she stands, and that the true measure of success in their lives will be gauged by their loyalty to these ideals rather than by the amount of money they may be able to garner by reason of their knowledge, skill and industry. P. J. MAHAN, S. J. ..4:s ::|13

This Board, composed of the president of the University and representative members of the faculty, directs and super- vises both the business and educational affairs of Creighton. They are the real powers of the institution. Much of the success and progress of the University is due directly to the work of this group. Representing every Creighton interest, these men guide the institution on its course, work out the problems of administration and make the plans for the future expansion of the various departments. Their constant endeavor and ability is proved by the rapid growth and expansion of all departments. As a result of their efforts, a perfect har- mony has been established between all branches.
