The Board t? Trustees Xhe direction and supervision of the busi- ness and educational affairs of Creighton university is in the hands of the board of trustees, which is composed of some of the most prominent members of the faculty and the administrative officers. These men guide the univer- sity in all of its connections and activities. As a result of their constant endeavor and ability, Creighton has made a marked ad- vancement in the past few years. They have built up the depart- ments of the university until Creighton has become outstanding in the educational field. The members of the board, each of whom is a specialist in his own field, handle their own work and cooperate with each other, creating harmony betwen the vari- ous departments. The present suc- cess of the university, as well as the hope for future advancement is due in great part to the board. The chairman of the board is the Rev. Patrick J. Ma- han, S. J., president of the university, who guides the board in its activities. The other members are: The Rev. Thomas H. Murphy, S. J., treas- urer of the university; the Rev. Eugene P. Mullaney, S. J., super- intendent of buildings; the Rev. William J. Corboy, S. J., chair- man of the athletic board and dean of men; the Rev. Francis B. Cas- silly, S. J., and Edward F. Leary, legal adviser. Their constant endeavor and ability is proved by the rapid growth and expansion of all de- partments. The work of this group has been commendable during the past three years. Under the guidance of the board, Creighton has made marked progress in all departments, in spite of the world-wide depression and the middle-western drouth. Ri V. P. J. Mahan, S.J. Riv. T. H.

Crcighton in the outside world and hclpini to create the necessary good will and cooperation of the general public which is so essential to the success of a growing university is the Board of Re- gents, composed of some of the most prominent and suc- cessful business men in Omaha and the middle west. Through the representatives on this board the uni- versity is closely connected with the outside world. Working in the background this board is one of the most potent factors in the accomplishments and progress of Crcighton. This group working diligently to further the work and to instill in the public the principles of the university is little known or recognized by the student body. They might be justly be termed Creighton ' s am- bassadors of good will to the outside world. Keeping in mind the functions of Creighton this board works consistently to forward the name of the university throughout the entire United States as well as the middle west. Proof of their efforts can be seen in the great number of students who have left the halls of Creighton through graduation and by those now attend- ing from all sections of the world. To further these principles held by the university, it is necessary to have such men of executive ability who at times must forget their personal duties and make sacrifices that the work of such an institution of higher learning may be made known to those outside the halls of Creighton. Composed of some of the most prominent individuals in the business world of the middle west the Board of Regents is a potent factor in the success of Creighton. The direct connecting link between the university and the public comes in the person of the Rev. Patrick J. Mahan, S. J., president of the university, who is the real representative of the interests of the university. The personel of the board includes: The Reverend Patrick J. Mahan, S. J., president of the University; Frank J. Burkley, president of the Burkley Envelope and Printing Company; William J. Coad, president of the Omaha Flour Mills Company, and Fred Hamilton, presi- dent of the Omaha-Council Bluffs Street Railway Com- pany. 20
