goodness of character is not essential FR. I. C. CHOPPESKY, SJ,, fl.M,, dean of Creighton college and University college. .g ° by today ' s standards; the little guy faces the news camera and appears in the press only at birth, marriage, and death, unless of course, he wins a sweepstakes, rides the Long Island Railroad, or intercepts a bullet in- tended for an acknowledged, pro- fessional gambler. Mary Lucretia Creighton ' s dream, realized in a red brick college for boys, now grown to the 4-6 story liberal arts college might be likened to that ' ' little guy. Pretentious? No, not in 1878, nor in 1951. Consistent? Yes, yesterday, to- day, and tomorrow. This constancy, zeal, and forti- tude on the part of men with respect for truth has been rewarded by the corps of colleges and professional schools which have evolved from this nucleus. Liberal education, like truth, has as great a worth in 1951 as it had in the day of Aristotle, Thomas or Mark Hopkins. With this in mind Fathers Choppesky and Kelley su- pervise the academic aspects of an education directed toward the de- velopment of the physical, spiritual, intellectual, aesthetic, and social facets of the educand. For many this religio-philosophi- cal core education is the substruc- ture requisite to the production of the trained technician, the profes- sional man. For many others the degree program of Creighton col- lege and its companion school for women. University college, there is more. Careers in the fields of radio, television, journalism, education and social work are but a few of those opened to the Creightonian at grad- uation. The establishment of University college was the natural outgrowth, in 1931, of a series of teacher ' s courses inaugurated eight years earlier. Across the dean ' s desk, the men and women of Creighton and Uni- versity colleges, like the sons and daughters of the little guy, are at once their problems and their pride. Know the truth and you shall be free. Page 16

that ten minute break between class periods is brief for the commerce student who must hurry from the ethics class on the fourth floor of the Ad Building, to the three-story stone building; but once there he is reminded of the vitality and the versatility of Thomistic ethics. Concern for mastery in such fields as accounting, advertising and marketing in a complex, industrial society is felt and the men and women of the school are trained in the solution of these modern problems. The college of commerce meets the need for an integrated course of study by offering, to the student, a two part program. Funda- mental courses offered in the first two years of the program emphasize the need for clear expression and logical thought, as well as placing a foundation for further studies in commercial fields. This integration continues even as the student embarks upon concerted studies on the upper division level. Realistic problems of a tangible nature are answered with more substantial solutions than the mere reiteration of sound basic principles. Laboratory practice and analysis complement many of the courses. At the school ' s disposal are excellent practical laboratories of business operations. Student research projects within the city, field trips, and frequent lectures by the executives of large organizations supple- ment the class period. Majors are offered in accounting, eco- nomics, management, marketing and general business. The college has a provisional asso- ciate membership in the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business. FLOYD E. WALSH, Ph.D., dean of college of commerce. Congestion of the three story college build- ing is alleviated by the occupation of the class- rooms in Dowling annex. Dr. Floyd E. Walsh, slight but vigorous, directs the school as dean. He came to Creigh- ton in 1926. After a time he returned to the University of Iowa where he took his master ' s degree; in 1932, he received the doctorate degree. Dr. Walsh was appointed acting di- rector of the department of management at Creighton in 1947. Page 18
