Dean I The College of Journalism Xhe College of Journalism, the newest department of Creighton University, was organized and opened for student registration the begin- ning of the current school year, to meet the growing demands of students who wished a thorough and practi- cal education in journalism. The journalist is a recorder of life and its multifari- ous activities and it is important that he have a well rounded education in all subjects. To assure this Creigh- ton, through its varied curricula, presents a series of courses ranging from the natural and social sciences to certain branches of law. Among the subjects offered by the College of Journalism are poetry, literature, mathematics, foreign languages, art, history, political science, philoso- phy, logic, ethics, economics and an appreciation of all branches of learning so essential to the polished gentleman and the learned man. To supply this, the facilities of the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Com- merce and the School of Law are employed, all being correlated with the special instruc- tion given by the Journalism faculty in the comprehensive four-year course necessary for the degree of bachelor of arts in journalism, bachelor of science in journalism or bachelor of philosophy in journalism. The faculty has been carefully selected to include only those who are equipped with university education as well as years of practical experience in the fields of newspaper and magazine work.
