•♦•♦9- BLUE-JAY :: 1933 - ♦♦ Ti:e Rev. Patrick J. Mahan. S. J. The President ' s Message HE class of 1933 is going forth into a world that is sorely troubled and in dire distress. It is a world, according to its own heralds, the most scientifically enlightened and efficient of all the ages, and therefore it is, in its own conceit, the wisest. The world today, that is, the force that gives character to our civilization — the mind of the men who dominate the ideals, the principles and the practices of the body social and politic — is not wise. The present condition of business chaos and resultant human misery is a most eloquent and evident demonstration of the absence of wisdom in the type of civilization which now dominates us, as it is also the immediate outcome, the inevitable effect of its proud ignorance. Wherein lies this ignorance, this lack of wisdom in the dominant thought of today? It lies in the banishment from educational formation of the last three or four generations of youth respect for spiritual values and the basis of spiritual values — Almighty God. The people of our land today are in need amidst the greatest abundance because natural, as opposed to legal hone9ty, does not prevail in business, because integrity does not rule the minds of men in positions of trust, because social justice does not guide the decisions of those holding political power and because charity has no influence over the social sentiments of business and politics. These are the reasons why the thought that has shaped the present conditions of our lives is without wisdom and why the educational system from which it has sprung is also without wisdom. Error, falsehood so fundamental, resulting as it does in dominating the whole philosophy of life, — individual, social, economical and political — must inevitably work to the material as well as the spiritual bankruptcy of a people. Regard for spiritual values and respect for Almighty God must be restored to their high place of power in the lives of our American people, and the Graduates of Creighton, having received an education that fits them for this task of restoration, should go forth impressed with their obligation to exert all possible influence towards this end. P. J. Mahan, S. J. [7]

Coad Fred Hamilton The BLUE-JAY 1933 The Board of Regents MANY cf Creigh ton ' s accomplishments are dependent on the good will and support of the public. The co- operation en the part of the public is secured by the board of regents composed of some of the prominent and successful business men of Omaha.

Because of their executive ability and business connections, these men are able to establish and maintain the confidence and rerpect cf the people cf Omaha and the Middle West in Creightcn. The members cf the beard of regents are largely responsible for the prestige and prominence cf the university and the geed will they have created is of immeasurable value. These men do their wcrk quietly and are little known to students of the university but their sacrifices of time which might be de- voted to their cwn business interests are nonetheless important. The Rev. P. J. Mahan, S. J., president of the university, as chairman of the board, directly represents the university and the student bedy en the board and presents their interests to the members. The members of the board are: The Rev. Patrick J. Mahan, S. J., president of the university; Frank J. Burkley, president of the Burkley Envelope and Printing Company; William J.
