gis ggg? i l l iE5iE G AT E WAY 2 Each year the University is turning over to the Medical Schools a group of students who have taken, in addition to their High School education, two years of special college work preparatory to entrance upon medical studies as required by the standard schools of Medicine. Most of these Pre-Medics enter the University of Nebraska College of Medicine, located in Omaha. Some of them enter Creighton Medical School and others go elsewhere. Not a few have received their M. D. degree and are practicing their profession with ability and success. Thus the University is doing its share towards making Omaha a recognized center of medical learning and skill. Training in Home Economics has come to occupy a large place in the modern education of women ; and rightly so. Upon women devolves a special responsibility for the making of successful and happy homes. While very many college courses may be pursued with equal success and benefit by both sexes, nevertheless, the education of the sexes should be differentiated in certain re- spects on the ground of their respective responsibilities to each other, to the home, and to society. Accordingly, each college woman should take some prescribed minimum of work in Domestic Science and Art. MAIN ENTRANCE i i 1 9 2 O te MiM»s iSBB Eleven

A well- rounded curriculum of standard college courses has been evolved and is being operated by highly capable teachers who hold graduate and post-graduate de- grees from the leading universities of the country.

Jenkins, President, has grown and prospered. The winds of freedom have always blown o ' er her campus, and for a dozen years she has continued to progress in a forward direction — that of liberty of study and of life and of freedom of thought. On that plat- form of individuality and freedom the University has grown to be what it is today. Already a first-class modern college, though yet comparatively small, the University shows promise of developing and growing into one of the best edu- cational institutions of the middle west, a credit and boost for Omaha. Her plan and main purpose has always been to prepare men and women for an ac- tive part in the development of our great democracy, to turn out trained indi- viduals with serviceable brains and bodies ; and no effort has ever been spared to accomplish this end. Looking into the future, say a dozen years ahead, we see an enlarged Uni- versity with a highly trained faculty and student body, an institution turning out men and women who are successful in their various pursuits of life. We see a University which is a credit not only to Omaha, but to Nebraska and the United States as well, an institution which attracts students from all parts of the globe. Just as truly as we now see Omaha, ' ' The Gate City of the West. ' ' do we see the University of Omaha as a true Gateway to Knowledge in the future. A MODEL CAMPUS SCENE 1
