7 And please God, let Daddy pass that Christian Marriage exam. Edith, Marty, and Paul pray for dad ' s scholastic success. It ' s six o ' clock and time for dinner, but please, dad, lift me up just one more time. There ' s a big hop from The Black Bears to Principles of Insurance. Student-father Paul makes that hop daily. As soon as Mike has finished his milk, Edith will get a chance to drink her coffee. 17

Convocation Creighton Week opened with a Solemn High Mass of the Holy Ghost at St. John ' s Church for all Catholic students in the Schools of Dentistry, Law, Pharmacy and Medicine. Concurrently, there was a Pontifical High Mass at St. Cecilia ' s Cathedral for all other student divisions. The Omaha Music Hall was crowded on all three levels when Creighton students filled the auditorium for the eighth annual President ' s Convocation. Color and ' dignity was added to the one event of the year which brings the entire University together when professors appeared in caps and gowns wearing the insignia of their offices. Two members of the staff were cited for outstanding ser-. vices to Creighton University. The Reverend Henry W. Linn, S.J., vice-president in charge of University Relations, was hon- ored for his contribution of time, zeal, and energy in the current ten-year development program at Creighton. Dr. Victor E. Levine, professor of biological chemistry received a citation for his 40 years of service to Creighton. Dr. Levine has received national honors for his research in bio-chemistry and for his work in ten different expeditions to Alaska and the Arctic. For the second time in its eight year history, an outside guest speaker addressed the students at the President ' s Con- vocation. The Very Reverend Edward J. O ' Donnell, S.J., Presi- dent of Marquette University, spoke to the students on The Opportunities and Responsibilities of a University Student. The Very Reverend Carl M. Reinert, S.J., Creighton ' s President, gave a report on the past and future of Creighton. He summarized the results of the first phase of the ten-year development program and announced that Phase Two, the Alumni Library campaign has reached a total of $389,000. Creighton ' s President, Father Reinert, congratulates Father Linn on being honored for his service to the university. Father O ' Donnell of Marquette receives a warm ova- tion as he concludes his thought provoking address.
