ScUooi 4A OiA ' Through the years, the Creighton School of Law has established a well-deserved reputation for the quality of the men who have emerged from the ranks of its classes. More than a little, however, this reputation has depended upon the fact that Creighton has endeavored to produce good lawyers, not merely in the technical and legal sense of the world, hut in accordance with its ethical significance as well. A development typical of this position, and illustrative, too, of a close affinity between school and community, may be found in the events of the past year at Creighton ' s law school. For here perhaps the cardinal event was the establishment of the Omaha I egal Aid Clinic, a co-operative project of the School itself, the Omaha Bar Association, and the Barrister ' s Club, which, working closely with the various social agencies, is designed to furnish legal help to those who might not otherwise be able to procure it. Opcjied in November, the Clinic not »iil recognizes the social responsibilities of the bar. but offers to senior law students a welcome opportunity for practical legal training. It is the goal of the School of Law to furnish both a moral con e|)l and a work- ing knowledge of the law. The events of the year harmonize well with this aim. and they represent a development in which the school, its dean, James A. Doyle, and all concerned may lake justifiable pride. James A.

I iiselfish aid to inaiikiiurs sick has been the inspiring thought in the hospital ' s operation. It also has been the guide and ideal of the school of nursing. By agreement in January. 1929. the Creighlon university established its school of nursing in St. Catherines. This agreeincnl was patterned U|)on a similar plan completed with St. Josephs in 1928. By it both units of the school of nursing became integral parts of the university. Sister Mary Kc in. K.S.M., has been the director of St. Catherine ' s unit since 1934. Having graduated from St. Catherine ' s in 1922 she later attained her degrees of bachelor and masters of arts from Creighlon. In 1917 she was promoted to the academic rank of assistant professor of nursing. Meeting the need for relaxation and a break between studies the social agenda of this ear featured two fonnals. the winter formal given bv the seniors and the spring formal presented by the junior class. In addition the trainees had the oppor- tunity to attend such gatherings as parties offered by the doctors ' wives and the alumni, coffee forums, and sodalitv picnics. r til Faculty of .St. Catherines unit of nursing 28
