Shakespeare Publisher T'. e Voice Lincoln, Nebraska Dear Rev. Shakespeare: I am writing you because of the above headlines and their direct relation to the important publicity you gave the 1950 State Fair. The Board and 1 are proud to have been associated with the 1950 Fair, and feel that other Ne braskans, too, are becoming more and more conscious of the great strides in industry and agriculture that our state has taken in recent years. It is directly due to such indi viduals as yourself that our state has been able to make important advances in industry and agricul ture . . . and bind these two fields together, giving Nebraskans a more stable economy. Again, I wish to express my sincere appreciation and the grati tude of the Nebraska State Fair Board. I hope you can find time to drop in our offices when in Lincoln ... I’d like to thank you personally. Sincerely, 1950 Nebraska State Fair Board Edwin Schultz, Secretary Classes in Home Nursing Scheduled Classes in home nursing are again being scheduled by the Red Cross here. They will be held during October and November in the Lancaster chapter’s rooms. The Red Cross said classes were being slated “in view of war conditions causing a greater shortage of trained nurses.” Mrs. Clara L. Lange, a regis- , tered nurse, will conduct the series. “Home Care of the Sick’’ has been chosen for the six les son course to be offered in Oc tober and “Mother and Baby Care” classes will be given dur ing November. The Red Cross chapter office or the home nursing chairman, Mrs. J* O. Schon, will give further information. Admit Negroes, Ban Dixiecrats LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Sept. 22. —Arkansas democrats today ad mitted Negroes to the party and read Dixieerat supporters out of the regular party organization. A resolution admitting Negroes was adopted by the state demo cratic convention by a loud “aye” vote. Amis Guthridge, Little Rock, a Dixieerat leader, bitterly de nounced the resolution, but he ’ | was shouted down with cries of “throw him out.” Guthridge at tacked President Truman, Leon Henderson, Dean Acheson and Sid McMath, democratic nominee for j governor, for “scuttling the demo cratic party.” The convention nominated Me- ; Math and adopted a resolution re- j quiring party members to support ! national party nominees. For several years, state party rules have required members to support only state party nominees, and under this loophole, the Dixie crats opposed President Truman while remaining state party mem bers in good standing. Actually, many Negroes have voted in democratic primaries in recent years without “incidents,” and there’s an Arkansas Negro democratic organization. A federal judge here recently ruled Negroes are eligible to be come candidates for democratic nominations to office. Notes of Interest Mr. Clyde W. Malone has re turned after attending the 40th annual conference of the Na tional Urban League. The meet ing was held in Grand Rapids, Mich.

OLSON, S^nntendtn, »T*T* HISTORICAL socibtt Creighton University in Omaha, one of the middlewest’s outstand ing educational institutions, per petuates the name of one of Ne braska’s most illustrious pioneer families. The brothers Edward and John A. Creighton came to Omaha in 1856, and in the struggling little territorial capital laid the foun dation for their vast fortune. Ed ward Creighton built the first transcontinental telegraph west from Omaha. The Creighton brothers were among the west’s most prominent early ranchers. Banking and other interests added to their already great fortune. Because early poverty had de nied him a systematic education. Edward Creighton had long dreamed of helping others to en- 1 joy the advantages he had been deprived of. He died in 1874, how- J ever, without having realized his dream. To carry on his plans and to perpetuate his memory, his wife, who died two lears later, left $100,000 as an endowment for an institution to be known as Creighton College. During suc ceeding years, John A. Creighton added more than $2,000,000 to this fund. The first building was con structed in 1877, and on Monday, Sept. 2, 1878, the college opened with 120 students in attendance. Incorporated under an act of the state legislature as Creighton Uni versity, Aug. 14, 1879, the insti tution the next year was trans ferred to the Society of Jesus. It has continued as a Jesuit insti tution. Though its endowment was handsome compared with that of many other early Nebraska col leges, in common with its sister institutions on the frontier Creighton’s early years were characterized by struggle against adversity. Tuition was free at | Creighton, and the institution had to depend solely upon its endow ment and other gifts. Through exceedingly wise management on the part of the early Jesuits and its governing board, however, Creighton tri umphed over adversity and developed steadily. At first, most of the students were of necessity enrolled in the academy, and it was not until 1887 that the faculty felt justified In outlining a full collegiate course. The school’s first college gradu ates were turned out in 1889. This rela tively long time lag between the dates of the institution's founding and fte first graduating class resulted from the refusal TO MAKE CONCERT TOUR DEBUT SEPT. 29—Baritone singer Joseph Cole, who is listed in Who’s Who in Music in America for 1950, will make his first appearance in his fall concert tour at the State auditorium in Reno, Nev., Sept. 29.

The Medical College, closely connected with another Creighton memorial—St. Joseph’s Hospital— was founded in 1892. Today Creighton is second in size only to the University of Ne- 1 braska among the state’s educa tion institutions. Its graduates in medicine, law and other fields occupy positions of importance in the nation’s life.
