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

three a. m. the telephone rings and signals the senior medical student to attend the sick. This call, and many more, is part of the program by which the Creighton medical school annually brings better health to thou- sands of local persons. The clinic, each year, processes an average of 35,000 cases. Day after day, people of all walks of life, all nationalities, all races, all creeds, the young and the old, are treated by and through the Creighton medical clinic. Examination, medication and hospitaliza- tion are provided the needy by cooperative work of senior students and faculty super- visors. Seventy-five well-trained doctors are an- nually launched into a lifetime of service to the community. They are thoroughly schooled PERCY J CARROLL, M.D., dean of the school of medicine. in the fundamentals of the various branches of medicine and surgery. These fledgling doctors of varying faith, color, and nationality are indoctrinated with the moral principles of the moral law. The vogue of the so-called modern subjective morality has no place in the curriculum. Creighton and St. Louis universities main- tain the only Catholic medical schools west of the Mississippi. Founded to serve this large western area, Creighton doctors are today serving in all parts of the world. For more than half a cen- tury the school, founded in 1892, has been renowned for its service to the ill. The medical center occupies two buildings at 14th and Davenport. Her eight units pro- vide hospital facilities for the Creighton doctor to gain practical experience both in training and for internship purposes. The three a.m. telephone call and the black satchel are very much a part of Creighton. THOMAS D. FITZGERALD, D.S., M.D., M.S.P.H., assistant dean oi the school of medicine. Page 20
