Med School Occupies New Research Center Richard L. Egan, M.D. - Dean Since the summer of 1963 Dr. Richard Egan, Dean of the School of Medicine, has been in the process of directing a migration from the old location at 14th and Davenport to the Hilltop. A veteran of the old school, Dr. Egan received his M.D. from Creighton in 1940. He joined the faculty in 1941 and became Dean in 1959. In his years with the university Dr. Egan has seen the school of medicine grow in all three of its major functions: teaching, research, and service. The teaching aspect of the school has reached a high point of 250 faculty members including those professors who contribute their services on a part time basis. The first unit of the new medical center is the research building. The clinic oper- ated by the school has received over 3,000 out- patient visits in the last year. The migration from the old location is a gradual one taking place as the new units are completed. The research center was completed and occupied in the summer of 1963 and now houses the greater portion of Creighton ' s ex- tensive research projects. Rev. James J. Quinn, S.J. - Jesuit Counselor Dr. R. Dole Smith - Assistant Dean 29

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.

Dentists Eye Plans For Science Building The Dean of Creighton ' s School of Dentistry is a man with considerable experience in the uni- versity ' s dental school machinery. A graduate of Creighton and member of the Dentistry faculty since 1956. Dr. Shoddy served as chairman of the department of Operative Dentistry before his appointment to the deonship. Plans for the further development of the College of Dentistry will be realized only as quickly as the university can erect its planned science building. The new building will free much of the laboratory space in the dentistry building for classrooms and expanded clinic activities. Raymond W. Shoddy, D.D.S. - Deon Rev.
