9c orewora Vl ITH THE PUBLISHING of the 1938 edition of The ' Bluejay sixteen years of con- tinuous Creighton activity has been depicted. The Bluejay staff this year, in keeping with the celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the school, has attempted in the opening sec- tion of the annual to portray by means of drawings the outstanding stages in the de- velopment of the University. The line drawing at the top of the opposite page is a reproduction of the blockhouse built in 1837 by Colonel Kearney, and turned over to the Jesuit missionaries led by Father Peter De Sntet, for a church and school in 18)8 just one hundred years ago. The modest building was the sole place of Catholic worship and education in Western Iowa for many years. At the bottom of this page is pic- tured the home of the first head of The Creighton University, The Rev. R. A. Shaffel, S.J., who arrived in Omaha in December, 1877. This frame building served as his resi- dence until the completion of quar- ters on the Hilltop. tl iff I u I I v. II
