Qraduate School Rev. Henry W. Casper, S.J. Dean The Graduate School both extends and enlarges upon the work undertaken by the several departments of the university on the undergraduate level fitting advanced students for graduate degrees. Graduate work, of its nature, involves specialization. It is study continued beyond the undergraduate level in a particularized field. Developing the range of the student ' s knowledge, it edu- cates judgment and creates a sense of initiative. In large part, graduate work has for its objective the enlargement of thinking which is independent in a wholesome sense of the word. With this objective in view, the Graduate School promotes a spirit of research. At the present time, there are more than 100 advanced students working for the degree of Master of Arts, Master of Science, Master of Science in Medicine, and Master of Science in Education. This number does not include the larger contingent of graduate students which descend upon the university during the summer sessions. The faculty is recruited from the several units of the university. The School is under the ad- ministration of the Dean of the Graduate School. Its academic policy is formulated and its standards of scholarship are established by the Graduate Council, the members of which are appointed by the President of the university. All applications for advanced study leading to graduate degrees must be approved by this Council before admittance to the School is obtained. A large part of the work of the Graduate School at Creighton University is devoted to the for- mation and training of teachers for all levels of education. With conditions in the world at large and in this country in particular what they are, the importance of the functions of a Graduate School is evident. The staffing of the school systems, both public and private, with men and women, imbued with the traditional spirit of Americanism and steeped in a love for all that it implies, takes on an importance of the first water. If there is still need for institutions of higher learning which are dedicated to the inculcation of those truths expressed in the Creighton Credo, certainly this need is paramount in that unit of the university which, more than any other, is committed to the tradition of those ideals which we as Americans, brought up in the tradition of Christian democracy, hold dear. Convinced that a strong Graduate School in a university the size of Creighton is best calculated to secure the preservation of all that is good in the American way of life and to eliminate from it what is an imminent menace particularly to our system of education, the highest officials of the uni- versity have spared no effort to build firmly and extend generously the facilities for graduate work. Dean of the Graduate School is the Rev. Henry W. Casper, S.J., A.M., S.T.L., Ph.D. Father Casper, who has been assistant professor of history for a number of years at Creighton, has been Dean of the Graduate School since 1947. He received the A.B., and A.M. degrees at St. Louis University and the Ph.D. degree at Catholic University of America. 22

St. Joseph ' s Unit of Tine School of Nursing SisTKK M. Lous. O.S.F., R.SM., M.S. Sister M. Louis, O.S.F., R.S.M., M.S. in Nursing Ed- ucation, has been director of the St. Joseph ' s Unit of the School for the past year and a half. She succeeded Sister Mary Livina who held that position from 1928 until her death in 1948. Sister Mary Louis graduated as a nurse from St. Elizabeth ' s Hospital in Lincoln and received her Bachelor ' s Degree from Duchesne College and her Masters from St. Louis university. She holds the rank of Assistant Professor of Nursing. The Creighton Memorial-St. Joseph ' s Hospital unit of the School dates back to 1897 when it was organized for the training of Sisters as nurses. It continued as such until 1917 when lay students were admitted. The hospital is in charge of The Poor Sisters of St. Francis Seraph of the Per- petual Adoration of Denver, Colorado, and has a capacity of 450 beds. The St. Catherine ' s Hospital was founded in 1910. It has a capacity of 165 beds, and is con- ducted by the Sisters of Mercy of the Union, who were pioneers in Omaha in works of charity and the care of the sick. Two programs of study are offered in the School of Nursing — the three-year basic curriculum of theory and practice which leads to the diploma of Graduate Nurse and qualifies for state board examinations and certification as Registered Nurse iR.N.) The latter includes the basic curriculum; its successful completion entitles the graduate to the academic and professional distinction designated by the titles, R.N., B.S. in Nursing. A student may apply for admission to either program. The Saint Joseph ' s Hospital Unit, Faculty 21
