Students who complete their degree programs in August or December may attend the May commencement ceremony following completion, or with approval of the Office of the Dean, in the preceding May. Participation in a commencement ceremony does not guarantee a degree is officially earned. A degree is conferred only after the dean verifies all academic requirements are met and the degree is posted on the student’s transcript by the Office of the Registrar.

The design for the shield’s final quadrant, in the lower left, comes from the coat of arms of the Archdiocese of Omaha. The starburst behind 1 8 7 8 the shield comes from the seal of the Society of Jesus.

Ceremonial Mace In the Middle Ages, the mace was a club used in battle and carried by a bodyguard to defend a person of authority. Over the years, it began to lose its warlike image and became a symbol of peaceful leadership.

At an academic institution, the mace is the symbol of the legal and chartered authority of the leadership to whom the board of trustees has delegated authority. When the ceremonial mace is present, the authority of the University is present. Use of the mace is reserved for occasions of outstanding importance, and it is an honor to bear the mace. Carrying it today is the president of the University faculty.

The Creighton University mace was designed and fashioned by Brian K. Besack, operations supervisor of the University’s carpenter shop, at the invitation of then president, the Rev. John P. Schlegel, SJ, to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the University.

Using a cherry wood baluster from a long-abandoned staircase in the attic of Creighton Hall, the oldest building on Creighton’s campus, Besack designed and fashioned the shaft, head and foot of the mace. Each facet of the nine-sided head displays a bronze, gold-plated medallion bearing the name and founding date of the University’s schools and colleges. Its foot is sheathed in gold-plated brass, and cradled in its shaft rests the official seal of the University. At its top, the mace is crowned with a three-dimensional blue and gold medallion symbol of the Society of Jesus.

Academic Attire The history of academic dress reaches far back into the early days of the oldest . A statute of 1321 required that all “Doctors, Licentiates, and Bachelors” of the University of Coimbra wear gowns. In England, in the second half of the 14th century, the statutes of certain colleges forbade “excess in apparel” and prescribed the wearing of a long gown. While European institutions continue to show great diversity in their specifications of academic dress, American colleges and universities generally have adopted the Intercollegiate Code for Academic Costumes. This code specifies design characteristics of gowns, hoods, caps and tassels, including pattern, material, color and trimmings.

For all academic purposes, including trimmings of doctors’ gowns, edging of hoods and tassels of caps, the colors associated with the different subjects are as follows: Agriculture ...... Maize Nursing ...... Apricot Architecture ...... Blue Violet Occupational Therapy ...... Ink Blue Arts, Letters, Humanities ...... White Oratory (Speech) ...... Silver Gray Commerce, Accountancy, Business ...... Nugget Pharmacy ...... Olive Green Dentistry ...... Lilac Philosophy ...... Dark Blue Economics ...... Copper Physical Education ......

45 John Creighton Sarah Emily Creighton Brief History of Creighton University

Edward and Mary Lucretia Creighton, along with Edward’s brother, John, settled in Omaha in the mid-1850s. John married Mary Lucretia’s sister, Sarah Emily Wareham, in 1868, and the four are considered the founders of Creighton University. Edward’s work with the transcontinental telegraph and freighting, ranching, railroading and banking became a major force in the city’s economic development. The two brothers were widely known for their business enterprises, and the two couples were also widely regarded for their philanthropy. Edward died in 1874, and his widow included $100,000 in her will to establish Creighton College in memory of her husband. Mary Lucretia died in 1876, and her executors, who included her brother-in-law John, purchased 6.2 acres of land at the northwest corner of what is currently 24th and California streets. They began to build a school and transferred the land, building and additional securities to Bishop James O’Connor of Omaha. The bishop asked the Jesuits to operate the school and the first president, Roman A. Shaffel, SJ, arrived in Omaha in late 1877; the school opened on Sept. 2, 1878. One priest, three scholastics, a layman and a laywoman formed the faculty. The school began with 120 students ranging in age from 6 to 30. On Aug. 14, 1879, Bishop O’Connor surrendered his trust to the Jesuits, who incorporated “The Creighton University” under Nebraska law. Much of the initial teaching was secondary-level; in 1891, the first baccalaureate degree was awarded. Edward and Mary Lucretia’s generosity is credited with establishing Creighton College, while John and Sarah Emily’s philanthropy enlarged it to a five-school university. Today, Creighton University consists of nine schools and colleges: • College of Arts and Sciences (1878) • School of Medicine (1892) • School of Law (1904) • School of Dentistry (1905) • School of Pharmacy and Health Professions (1905) • Heider College of Business (1920) • Graduate School (1926) • College of Nursing (1971; four-year bachelor’s degree program began in 1958) • College of Professional Studies (1983)
