BOARD OF REGENTS A vital element of the university potpourri is the Board of Regents. These business and professional men who realize the benefits a great university brings to the civic community work zealously to promote its development. They deal with a number of problems thpt otherwise would be the responsibility of Rev. Linn, the president and the Board of Directors. This year the Board added seven members from other cities giving Creighton national rep- resentation — evidence of its steady growth and development. A dynamic group of men, their service to the university is invaluable. W. B. Millard, Jr. Chairman, Board of Regents Chairman of the Board, The Omaha National Bank James B.

, • ■ ' W The main goal which directs all the com- plex activities of Creighton is the development of educated Christian leaders. The president of the University, The Very Reverend Henry W. Linn, must coordinate other, more immediate goals. The essential element of coordination is good communication between and among faculty members and administrative staff. Good communication is evidenced when the various personnel know of the other ' s work and aid each other, forming a unified team; it is evidenced by an absence of misunderstanding or resentment. Such smooth operation is achieved by scheduled group meetings and by the guid- ance of the President of the University. Father Linn is an experienced liaison of those under him. Besides having taught classics and physics, he has been dean of the School of Journalism, the old Creighton University Wom- en ' s College, and the graduate school and has been vice-president for University Relations.
