road maps, detours, speeches and handshaking encompass but a few of the implements and duties of the man whose job it is to keep Creighton before the public eye. Formally, he is known as the Rev. Henry W. Linn, S.J., executive as- sistant to the president; informally, he is the dean of Creighton ' s public rela- tions and emcee of all alumni activities. As director of Creighton ' s develop- ment program, Fr. Linn has twice turned over the automobile mileage meter, in ocean-to-ocean and border- to-border travels, renewing associa- tions with friends of Creighton — her sons and daughters of past decades. In the public relations field, Fr. Linn has general supervision of initiating, planning, and putting into service a publicity program for Creighton. The objective of this program is to make known to one and all, especially to Omaha and environs, the value of Creighton ' s commercial, social, and cultural aspects. In the school corridors and in the city square, Creighton ' s name and activities are heralded under Fr. Linn ' s direction. As director of the development program and the university ' s fund-raising procedures, Fr. Linn is responsible for formulating long-range objectives of endowment, building and operating funds. High operating expenses are more of a problem for private institutions than ever before, and in the development program, Creighton sets its hopes for continued operation. This program is now in its fifth year. In 1946 Fr. Linn began a country-wide campaign, con- tacting Creighton alumni in all parts of the United States. Miles traveled by Fr. Linn total around 220,000. To date alumni have pledged a total of $1,300,536.26. More than one-half of this amount, •$683,021.47, has been collected. In his many contacts with university alumni in his travels, Fr. Linn has an excellent oppor- tunity to combine the tasks of a third position. As moderator of the alumni association, it is his job to promote membership and general activities of the group. Fr. Linn is also m charge of direct publication of the alumni news and operations of the alumni office. Father Henry W. Linn, S.J. Executive Assistant to The President Page 12
