Four Vice Presidents In 1963 the Rev. John J, Halloran, S.J., became Creighton ' s first Vice President of Student Personnel, as- suming and adding to the responsibilities of the previous Dean of Student Affairs. In this capacity, he serves as coordinator of student personnel services: campus park- ing, housing, discipline, student organizations, health serv- ice, inter-collegiate and intramural athletics, food service, personnel records, and scholarships and financial aid for students. Father Halloran came to Creighton in 1961 from St. Mary ' s Seminary in Kansas, where he taught homiletics, the composition and delivery of sermons. In the interim of 1961-1963, he was Assistant Dean of Creighton ' s Col- lege of Arts and Sciences. The Rev. Richard C. Harrington, S.J., Vice President for Academic Affairs, is in charge of educational pro- grams and policies for the entire university. His numer- ous duties include the chairmanship of the committee on faculty appointments. These positions have made him largely responsible for the increased number of courses and teachers available in the various schools. Father Harrington came to Creighton in 1956 from Rockhurst College as an assistant professor of English. Since that time he has served as Dean of the Graduate School. He took over his new position in 1962. Besides his official duties, Father Harrington has also been re- sponsible for the fine Visiting Scholar Lecture and Con- cert Series. 16
