Unite the University The Rev. Carl M. Reinert, S.J., president of the Creighton University Development Foundation, bears the responsibility for the dust and noise which pervaded the campus during the 1964-65 school year. Presiding over the four departments concerned with public relations, publicity, alumni activities, and fund raising, he has traveled over the country seeking assistance for a grow- ing university. Father Reinert, with the help of his able staff, reflects the quality and stability of Creighton ' s pro- fessors and students. Prior to his present appointment, Father Reinert was President of Creighton for twelve years. He took this post in 1950 when he arrived from Campion High School where he was principal. The Rev. Thomas H. Murphy, S.J., Vice President in charge of Finance at Creighton since 1930, has con- tributed tremendously to the present development pro- gram. Handling over 100 investment accounts and six million dollars per year, this man is a rare combination: a humble financier. Since he arrived here the university has doubled in size and added seven new structures. Father Murphy has an LLB and LLM from St. Louis University, a Bachelor ' s in philosophy and language, and a Master ' s in Canon Law. Arriving here two years after his ordination. Father Murphy ' s name is synonomous with Creighton for many businessmen. 17

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.

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
