As Catholic, Creighton is dedicated to the pursuit of truth in all its forms and is guided by the living tradition of the Catholic Church. As Jesuit, Creighton participates in the tradition of the Society of Jesus which provides an integrating vision of the world that arises out of a knowledge and love of Jesus Christ. As comprehensive, Creighton’s education embraces several colleges and professional schools and is directed to the intellectual, social, spiritual, physical and recreational aspects of students’ lives and to the promotion of justice. Creighton exists for students and learning. Members of the Creighton community are challenged to reflect upon transcendent values, including their relationship with God, in an atmosphere of freedom of inquiry, belief and religious worship. Service to others, the importance of family life, the inalienable worth of each individual, and appreciation of ethnic and cultural diversity are core values of Creighton. Creighton faculty members conduct research to enhance teaching, to contribute to the betterment of society, and to discover new knowledge. Faculty and staff stimulate critical and creative thinking and provide ethical perspectives for dealing with an increasingly complex world.

CREIGHTON UNIVERSITY, OMAHA, NEBRASKA. 1901. &1s 1 \<V Jht aZVHBV J^l2iew V 3 I* PREFACE. The members of the Creighton family have written their names conspicuously in the annals of benevolence in Nebraska. Many who have seen the work of their bene­ ficence have asked for some information about them, the atmosphere inwhich they grew up, the influences which fostered their charitable spirit. This sketch is a partial answer to these inquiries, an effort to do some tardy jus­ tice to men and women whose example is worthy of imi­ tation. In gathering and putting together the material for this sketch the Professor of History inCreighton Univer­ sity has found his greatest obstacle in the unaffected modesty and reserve of some of the surviving actors in the scenes which he wished to describe. They were anxious to avoid publicity. They regard themselves as plain, every-day people, withno special claims to distinc­ tion; for fortune happily did not rob them of their charm­ ing simplicity of manners. As of old, they readily grasp in friendship the hand of the lowly, and still remain ex­ emplars of the old-fashioned Western democracy, which gauges men by their character and worth rather than by the extent of their possessions.
