Rev. Gerald H. FitzGibbon, S.J. Dean Or.n Arts Front College of Arts and Sciences With the objective of teaching the student to think accurately, visualize clearly, and reason logically rather than memorize factual data, the college of arts and sci- ences continues to give students primarily a true appreciation of the arts. The oldest department of the university, the Arts college this year announced changes in the awarding of student scholar- ships. The President ' s Scholarship, which was formerly permit- ted only to male students, is now available to every honor stu- dent in the graduating classes of the high schools of Nebraska and surrounding states. The Creighton Scholarships, starting next fall, will be awarded only to senior students who have completed three years at Creighton with A or B averages. In the past the scholarships were given to both juniors and seniors. New faculty members this year included: the Rev. Ignatius J. Davlin, S.J., and the Rev. Paul F. Smith, SJ. Joining the teaching ranks as gradu- ate assistants in chemistry were John S. Carr, Edward E. Johnson, and Jacob Steimel. Dr. John F. Sheehan returned to the Arts faculty after a year ' s leave of absence. In the initial two years the college requires that the student conform to prescribed courses in order to acquire credits in the essential fields. In the final two years the student is permitted to study more extensively in the fields for which he is more inclined or has particular aptitude. The college offers a wide variety of courses leading to bachelor degrees in arts, sciences, and philosophy. In order to qualify for any of the several degrees the student must earn 128 semester hours of credit and 128 quality points over the four-year course. Extensive reading and additional research is encouraged in the last two years of the Arts course. College of Arts and Sciences Faculty 14
