Excerpt from The Creighton Chronicle, Vol. 1: May 15, 1910 Universities, like men, must pass through the periods of infancy and childhood. The Creighton University was born thirty-two years ago, and during its infancy was known as Creighton College, and did the work of a preparatory school. But the men who founded the institution laid its foundations broad and deep. The men who builded upon those foundations labored hard and planned wisely, and as a result the little preparatory school has developed into a university. Schools of medicine, of law, of dentistry and of pharmacy have been added to the central one devoted to the teaching of the arts and sciences; and the presence tonight of these large graduating classes would seem to indicate that Creighton has passed the stages of both infancy and childhood, and is entering upon a Vigorous manhood. Even those of us who are connected with the University in an hum ble capacity are proud of its history and achievements, and are looking forward to a glorious future.

Excerpt from The Creighton Chronicle, Vol. 1: March 15, 1910 The foregoing are some of the good points commonly adduced in favor of the Credit System. However, it is far from being regarded by educators with unqualified approbation. Experience seems to show, that, when applied on an extensive scale, this system breaks down and fails to furnish university officials with the only assurance worth having. In other words, under the technicalities of credit points and semester hours, a great number of candi dates altogether unfit, may be, and in many instances are, admitted to university courses. This failure, it is asserted, is owing to defects, hard to eliminate from the system. Many refer, for example, to the tendency, which again and again manifests itself in the credit system, of laying greater stress upon the length of time devoted to subjects than the grade of excellence attained. Moreover, it is difficult, under this system, to maintain a uniform level of excellence, because the task of assigning grades devolves upon a legion of teachers in the various high schools and academies. Finally, it is pointed out, that in schools where the field of electivism is fairly ample, credits, which total up evenly, may represent widely different values.

Excerpt from The Creighton Chronicle, Vol. 1: February 15, 1910 The situation is complicated still further by the fact of our dual form of government. When the constitution of the United States was written, it was found necessary, on account of the relations between the original states, to limit the grant of power to the central government, and among the powers conferred which were so limited, was the con trol over commerce. The constitution expressly declares that Congress shall have full authority over commerce be tween the states, and thereby excludes from its control the very large internal commerce of the several states which does not pass their borders. Each sovereign state, there fore, assumes the right to regulate its internal commerce and most of them have exercised that right by the enactment of regulatory statutes along the lines of the Federal laws. Some states have gone far beyond anything that Congress has yet attempted, while other states have not availed them selves of all the powers which they undoubtedly possess.
