L oLLecjeof 1 karmacij IhE curriculum of the college of pharmacy, recognized by edu- cators as one of the finest and most complete in the nation, is arranged so as to give the student and graduate a complete knowledge of pharmacy and its related fields as well as a correct ap- preciation of the responsibilities of the pharmacist in public life. Prepared with the assistance of grad- uates of the department who furnish ad- vice based on their own experiences, the curriculum is outstanding, . n important feature of the school is its provision for both breadth of education and desirable professional specialization. The courses for the first two years are foundation and therefore prescribed. .At the end of the second year each student is assisted in deciding for which phase of the practice of the profession he wishes to prepare himself. Close cooperation is maintained between the college of pharmacy and the school of medicine. All prescriptions prescribed by the school of medicine for patients of the medical clinic are compounded in a special prescription room by pharmacy students under the supervision of a faculty member who is also a registered pharmacist. Most of the prescriptions are filled free of charge although a small charge is made to those patients who are financially able to pay for them. The standards of the -American .Association of Colleges of Pharmacy are maintained in all courses. This group is the highest accredited agency in pharmaceutical education. Graduates of the Creighton college of pharmacy are admitted to the board examinations in those states requiring graduation from a college of pharmacy as a pre-requisite to these examinations.

SckooL of l aw XhE Creighton university school of law is a member of both the American Bar Association and the Asso- ciation of the American Law schools, the latter being an organization to which less than half of the schools in the United States are permitted membership. The main object of the courses offered is to fit the graduate for practice in any place where common law prevails. But, due to the fact that common law differs in various regions and states because of political, social and economic conditions, the Creighton school of law offers more than can be had in so-called national schools. Restricted enrollment insures a uniform student body of 123 students, thus preventing unwieldiness in the size of classes, so that the Creighton tradition of close personal relationship between students and faculty members may be maintained. Since actual practice is as essential to thorough education in law as is theory gained in the class- rooms from text books, valuable and practical experience in organization, management and conduct of cases is gained by the law student through an elaborate Moot Court system. Cases of various nature are tried by the students with faculty members presiding as judges. The Law school library, one of the finest of its kind in this section of the country, contains 40,561 volumes, comprising most of the American, English and Canadian Reports, together with an extensive collection of session laws and statutes of the various states of the United States, the provinces of Canada, and the English statutes. To acquaint students with legal libraries, a course in Legal Bibli- ography is a required course in the school. Louis J. TePoel Dean The School of Law Faculty 25 7G:r ' 7 ' i ' )

The school is a member of the Ame- rican Association of Medical colleges and the Association attributes it a Class A rating. A library, containing 7,400 books is maintained by the university for use by the 251 full-time students .The Creighton dispensary is a member of the Omaha Council of Social Agencies. It cooperates with the Creighton University Health Service, the Visiting Nurses Associa- tion, the Public School Nurses, the Omaha Orthopedic Society, the Diocesan Catholic charities, the Nebraska Tuberculosis Association and other charitable agencies of the city. Senior students also make calls at the homes of dispensary patients who are unable to come to the clinic. These clinical and teaching facilities are supplemented by the affiliation of four important hospitals, one of which ranks as the largest between Chicago and the Pacific coast. They are: the Creighton Me- morial St. Joseph ' s hospital, St. Catherine ' s hospital in Omaha, and Mercy hospital and St. Bernard ' s hospital in Council Bluffs. Cooperating with the Pharmacy college, the medical school compounds and distributes on the aver- age of 10,000 prescriptions either free of charge or at costs during the year. Under faculty supervision treatments are recommended and prescriptions compounded by students of the two departments. Uk. Bin an M. Ruev Dean The School of Medicine Faculty 27
