douglas countYS most tempestuous times are etched in the $3,000 cherry wood judicial bench that stands in the moot court room of Creighton ' s law school. It was retired from active duty to help train young men and women for the profession it served over twenty- five years. The bench originally stood in Criminal Court Room No. 1 of the Douglas County Court House. Contrasted with this historic bar of justice, is the modern touch now evi- dent in the standards and program of the school of law. Law students are able to acquire a knowledge of com- mon law and an unimpeachable stand- ard of ethics. Courses have been carefully revised, studied and broadened, with emphasis on public law, to adequately equip the law graduate. One of the best and most voluminous law libraries in the country aid in the thoroughness which is the key in preparing the law student for his pDsition in society. James A. Doyle, an alumnus of Creighton college, is dean of the barrister school. Nine persons compose the law faculty, three of whom have written textbooks now in use at the Creighton school. Law students, of their initiative, have complemented this thoroughness to the extent of pro- viding suitable facilities for that between class break. Working with their own funds, they re- modeled one large room on the west side to serve as an attractive, comfortable lounge. In other activities, chapters of two of the country ' s largest law fraternities are active on the Hilltop. - ftW Dean James fl. Doyle; Fr. Paul L. Gregg, S.J.; V ilham P. Sternberg; Francis X.

bubbling test tubes WILLIAM fl. JflRRETT, Pharm.D., B.S., dean of the college of pharmacy. suggest that pharmacy students are probing into the compounding and preparation of prescriptions. Senior students under the guidance of Sebastian C. Pirruccello, director of the clinic pharmacy, fill approximately one thousand prescriptions monthly. Operated as a service to the indigent people of the area, this clinic serves as a teaching aid to pharmacy students. Here medicine is dispensed at cost to patients reg- istered at the clinic. Free drugs are given to those unable to purchase them. Through the winter holidays and summer vacation period, the clinic is operated by advanced students who are required to return and assist faculty members in the perpetual operation of the dispensary. Last fall junior and senior students, together with C. Henry Sprague, assistant professor of pharmaceutical chemistry; Dr. Philippos E. Papadakis, associate professor of chemistry; Manuel Nuno, instructor in chemistry; and Dr. Nicholas Dietz, Jr., associate professor of biological chemistry and nutrition; made In- dianapolis their destination on their annual education trip. As guests of the Eli Lilly Company, the fifty-two students and faculty members toured the plant. They were familiarized with the various aspects of commercial research and production. This knowledge of pharmacy in a different aspect made the trip especially valuable. Although Pharmacy is separated from the Hilltop in location, it is a vital part of the university, and this year it was their senior student, Ken Boeding, who became King Creighton XXVII. Pharmacy Day, traditionally the school ' s outstanding sociability of the year, celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary. Dick Walcher chairmaned the day ' s festivities. Dr. William A. Jarrett, as dean of the col- lege of Pharmacy, is in personal contact with each of the students and aids them in their problems and schedule planning. Fr. Harry B. Crimmins S.J., is regent of the school. JL.LA± Dean William fl. Jarrett; Frank Ferraro; C. Henry Sprague, Francis fl. Welsh; Mrs. Ann L. Czerwinski; Sebastian Pirrucello. Page 28
