In 1879, Omaha's Bishop James O'Connor asked the Society of Jesus to take responsibility for the growth and development of Creighton University. This new Catholic and Jesuit institution of higher education became one of the now 28 Jesuit institutions of higher education in the United States. Edward Creighton's dream was enlarged and strengthened when his brother, John, founded the Creighton College of Medicine in 1892, the first professional school of the fledgling University. Since that time, many things have changed, but one thing that has always remained the same has been the goal of the Creighton School of Medicine to educate competent, caring physicians in the Jesuit tradition. It is a goal that has been admirably met by the School of Medicine in its 100 years of existence. The true measure of the success of any educational institution is its the Creighton School of Medicine, as evidenced by its 5,996 physician graduates, has been a success. The School of Medicine has always been an integral component of Creighton hton community are justifiably proud of the achieve- ess made by our medical colleagues. Their long tradition of innovation and educational excellence reflects honorably on Creighton, whose education forms men and women to be leaders in their professions and of service to society. I am confident that the future holds even greater promise. It is with great pride that I salute the achievements of the 100 years of the School of Medicine, and join in celebrating its Centennial Anniversary. Congratulations from the entire Creighton family.

Unlike individuals, institutions may continue to grow and improve rather than decline and die. This has certainly been true of Creighton University and its School of Medicine during its first one hundred years. Begun on the initiative and with the support of John A. Creighton in 1892, the year after Creighton awarded its first bachelors degrees, the School of Medicine passed through its turbulent youth and matured, weathered the financial vicissi- tudes of the great Depression of the 193Qfs,and continued to grow and improve to the present. During the past one hundred years, medical practice and medical education have undergone enormous changes brought about by advances in science and technology; by expectations of higher- quality, more effective medical care; and by higher standards for accreditation. These changes, some of which Creighton originated or contributed to, are part of the evolution of the Creighton University School of Medicine. In 1892 Omaha was a frontier town. Less than 40 years old, it had grown rapidly, and the entrepreneurial spirit of the frontier was much in evidence. By 1892 medical education had had a short and tumultuous history in Nebraska. When John Creighton simultaneously built and endowed a new St. Joseph Hospital and the John A. Creighton Medical College, he established the first university-based medi- cal school in the region and introduced a stable institutional commitment to medical education that has persisted to our time. Creighton and St. Joseph have, during their one-hundred year partnership, made many contributions to the health care and health professions education in the region and the nation. If John Creighton had not responded to the urgings of the several physicians with a vision of a university-based medical school in Omaha, the history of health care and education in this region would have been very different and much poorer. Unlike many schools established in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the history of Creighton's medical school has been continuous. Its success was followed by the establishment in 1905 of the schools of dentistry and pharmacy and in 1928 the bachelors degree in nursing. During its one hundred years, Creighton's medical school has enjoyed the leadership of a number of remarkable people and has been responsible for many regional and national firsts and new developments in practice and education. Though incomplete, the following is a sampling of advances and innovations introduced at Creighton: The first four-year medical school in the west; The first X-Ray image made inOmaha, within a year after Roentgen's discovery; An early requirement (1908) of two years liberal arts education for admission to medical school - later withdrawn because some in the Association of American Medical Colleges thought it too revolutionary; Foreword . Numerous innovations in medical school curriculum and teaching methods; Advances in nutrition research resulting from studies in fat and vitamin metabolism by Professor Victor Levine; Specialty clinics in cancer during the 1930fs,far in advance of most medical schools; Major contributions by Charles Wilhelmj in gastrointestinal physiology and the study of the etiology and pathogenesis of hypertension; One of the earliest air ambulance systems in the United States; The first invasive cardiology laboratory in Omaha - mid 1950's; a major program of cardiology, directed by Richard Booth - 1961; A laboratory for the study of bone

    Sharing the Passion for Research Brain Gain: Neurosurgery Study Spring 2008 View the magazine online at: SPRING 2008 www.creightonmagazine.org University Magazine Called to Teach ................................................................10 With some Catholic elementary and high schools struggling to attract and retain high- quality teachers, Creighton University’s Magis program offers a possible solution. Program participants work toward a master’s degree in education, tuition-free, while serving in Catholic schools — especially those struggling economically. These Magis teachers also engage in spiritual formation and live together in community, rounding out their education. Sharing the Passion for Research ...............................16 Creighton University students, including undergraduates, are often extended unique opportunities to collaborate with faculty members who have distinguished themselves as 10 leading scholars in their fields. Creighton’s Bridget Keegan, Ph.D., shares a few of these stories. Brain Gain .......................................................................22 A second-year medical student works with two Creighton researchers in a breakthrough study that finds that oxygenating the brain during neurosurgery not only reduces mortality, but enhances overall patient outcomes. Their research drew the attention of the prestigious American Association of Neurological Surgeons. 16 On the cover: Clockwise from upper left, Creighton University Magis teacher John Roselle, BA’07; the Most Rev.

  • The Centennial History of Creighton University School of Law, 1904-2004
    CHAPTER 1 Founders and Benefactors- The Deanship of Timothy J. Mahoney: 1 903-1 91 0 Omaha is an attractive city for student residence; the climate is favorable to intellectual exertion all the year round. 1906 -7 Creighton Univ ersity Announcement I think that among the opportunities of the flegal] profession, that which will afford the most genuine satisfaction, is the work of the calling. To be confronted with a difficult problem, with a situation where you are con- vinced that substantial and natural justice is on the side of your client, a sit- uation in which you are unable to call to mind any rule laid down in the books, or any decision of any court that exactþ fits your predicament ... Dean T. J. Mahoney American enterprise, immigration, industrialization, urbanization, egali- tarian access to education, and the rise of certification in the professions com- bined with the Catholic and Jesuit mission to spiritually and economically up- lift its flock. America was an open society where the separation of church and state encouraged the church to take on educational endeavors. The founding of Creighton University and its professional schools, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centur¡ was symptomatic of a national experience that sought to channel and match American brain power to a burgeoning, apparently lim- itless, array of opportunities. Father Michael P. Dowling and Count John A. Creighton comprised a formidable educational partnership whereby the latter provided the wherewithal for the former to rcalize his plans for educational de- velopment in Omaha. Paul L. Martin, the spokesperson for the law school from 1906 to 1920, captured this perceived sense of expansion and viewed the es- 13 14 1 , FOUNDERS AND BENEFACTORS tablishment of formal legal education in law schools as a logical development following the growth of population and the consequent increase of litigation.l Prologue Although the law school dates its existence from 1904, the idea for a ]esuit sponsored law school in Omaha dates from 1892.
