Law School Fosters City Legal Aid Society Keeping Creighton ' s School of Law abreast of the 1960 ' s is largely the work of the school ' s Dean, James A. Doyle. Dean Doyle received his LL.B. in 1933 from the University of Nebraska and went on to receive his LL.M. in 1939 from Harvard. His years of private practice include a list of public appointments such as Special As- sistant to the Attorney General and Solicitor on Litigation. From 1951 to 1960 he was the Director of Omaha Legal Aid Clinic. Since 1948 he has served as Dean and Professor of Law here at Creighton. Projects now underway in the law school include participation in the Legal Aid Society of Omaha which allows odvanced students a practical outlet for their talents and a realistic guage for their progress in law school. The par- ticipating students ore allowed to advise and counsel the poor of the city with regard to their legal problems. The first semester only seniors were allowed to take part, but the project was opened to juniors during the second half of the year. James A. Doyle - Dean Rev. LeRoy E. Endres, S.J. - Jesuit Counselor 27

Dean Gives Depth To Business Administration The new Dean of the College of Business Ad- ministration is also a former Creighton graduate. Dr. I. L. Heckmonn received his B. S. in Com- merce at Creighton before going on to graduate M. B. A. and doctoral work at the University of Wisconsin. Dean Heckmonn has taught at the University of Wisconsin and the University of Illinois where he spent the last two years of his nine year tenure as chairman of the Department of Management. Dr. Heckmonn ' s plans for the college include the continuing growth of the undergraduate school and the availability of a graduate degree in Business Administration for those whose careers will take them to the leadership and management of the community. Indicative of this growth of the Business School is the arrival of two new teachers, both participating in doctorate programs in economics. Dr. Irvin L. Heckmonn • Dean Rev. Neil Cahill, SJ. • Jesuit Counselor Dr. Floyd E. Walsh - Dean Emeritus 26

Graduate School Adds Mathematics Program Since the fall of the 1963 session the post of Deon of the Graduate School has been filled by Dr. Arthur E. Umscheid. Dr. Umscheid came to Creighton in 1937 as lecturer in the History Department. In 1957 he became Chairman of the History and Political Science Departments, the position he held until becoming Dean. Dr. Umscheid assumed his duties in the school at a time when the long-range expansion planning was concluding and its place was being taken by problems of the three newly participat- ing programs. These programs are the national Business Administration Program and the gradu- ate programs in Mathematics and Guidance and Counseling. Last year the Business Administra- tion enrolled 105 students. Ninety-four returned and thirty-seven new students were admitted. The graduate program in mathematics opened this year with thirty students. Dr. Arthur G.
