CREIGHTON 28TH
COMMENCEMENT
BEGINS TODAY
Graduating' Class of 80 to
Hear Justice Smyth of
District of Columbia
Court.
With a graduating class but two
thirds as large as that of last year be
cause of the great number of students
in jthe army and navy, Creighton uni
versity will hold its 28th annual com
mencement exercises Saturday morn
in the university gymnasium. The
student body of the university has al
so decreased by one-third; only 800
students were enrolled this year as
' compared with an attendance last
year of about 1,250.
. Constantine J. Smyth, chief justice
of the District of Columbia court of
appeals and Creighton alumnus, will
deliver the principal address of the
morning's exercises. Justice Smyth
is a former resident of Omaha and
was at one time a law partner of
Mayor Smith.
Graduating Class of Eighty.
The graduating class this year num
bers 80 members and is the smallest
in years. War conditions and the
large number of students of the uni
versity in the national service are re
sponsible for the small number of
graduates. Of the 800 stars on the
service flag of the institution, over
350 represent students who left col
lege to join the colors.
' The acdemic procession will form
Saturday morning at 10 o'clock on
California street, near Twenty-fifth
street, in charge of Frank McCaf
fery, marshal of the day. The pro
cessjon will march to the gymnasium,
where the program will begin at 10:30
o'clock.
Rev. Francis X. McMenamy, presi
dent of the university, will deliver the
. introductory address. After a musical
number Justice Smyth will deliver his
address. Archbishop Harty will
.speak briefly and Chief Justice An-
drew Morrissey will administer the
oath to the graduates of the law
school. 1
Presentation of Class.
The presentation of graduates to
the president for the awarding of de
grees will be made by the deans, of
the different departments as follows:
ColWe of liberal arts. Dean Robert
M. Kelley; college of medicine, Dean
J. R. Clemmons; college of law, Dean
Paul L. Martin; college of dentistry.
Dean A. Hugh Hippie; college
pharmacy, Dean Howard C. Newton,
The university orchestra and sev
eral vocal numbers will furnish the
music during the exercises.
Immediately after the close of the
graduation exercises a luncheon will
be held at Hotel Fontenelle in honor
of Justice Smyth, Chief Justice Mor
rissey, the members of the supreme
bench of the state, Archbishop Harty
and the deans of the several depart
ments of the university.
This year's graduating class has fol
lowed the example of the two preced
ing graduating classes and has pre-
fented $25,000 in insurance policies to
the university.
Closing for Undergraduates.
The collegiate year for the under
graduate students will not close until
next Tuesday morning. At 9 o'clock
the students of the arts college and
of the high school will meet for
.solemn high mass at St. John's
church. At 10 o clock the final as
sembly of the college and high school
students will be held. At the same
time the graduating exercises of the
high school will also be held, as well
as the awarding of prizes and the
awarding of commissions in the
Creighton student battalion.
l Because almost 450 alumni of the
university are now 'in the national
service, no alumni luncheon will be
held this week, as has been the cus
tom in former years.

&eyez jasper
Several hundred cadets of the high
school of Commerce drilled and went
through military skirmishes Friday
afternoon in a rain that drenched
them to the skin.
The occasion was the annual field
meet at Elmwood park and the soldier
boys insisted that nothing so trival
as "a mere spring rain" should in
terfere with their exhibition of mili
tary tactics. Never before in the his
tory of the school have, the cadets
had such intensive practice as they
have had this year under the direc
tion of W. D. Scriver, commandant
of cadets.
The lads, some of them scarcer
than their guns, went through diffi-
cult drills with dispatch that would
do credit to real soldiers. Company
B won first place. David Greenberg
is the captain. Company C, in charge
of Captain Meyer Kasper won second
honors. Leslie Smith and Meyer
Kasper were winners in a military
spelldown.
The first military diplomas awar
ded to cadets of the high school of
Commerce were given at the com
mencement exercise at the Audito
rium Friday. Those receiving them
were: Cadet Lieutenant Colonel
Harry Mittleman, Captain and Ad
jutant Edgar Brommer and Captain
Meyer Kasper. Promotions and new
officers for next year were announced
at the field day meet. A base hall
game between the classes was won
by the seniors. -
Other features of the day were
tennis, volley ball and a golf game
between the men on the faculty and
the boys. At noon the pupils and
their teachers had a picnic dinner in
the pavilion.

NAVY CAPTAIN
URGES CITIZENS
TO WAR ACTIVITY
Each Person Must Do His
Share in War Endeavor, Says
Stayton in Talk at Uni
versity Club.
"Democracy means that every citi
zen must do his share, and one thing
that every citizen can do is to use all
of his influence in seeing that our
navy is maintained at its present state
of efficiency and that adequate means
continue to be provided for the
transporting and protection of
troops, said Captain W. H. Stayton,
retired officer of the United States
navy, at the noonday luncheon Friday
of the University club.
Captain Slayton has been for 31
years an officer of the United States
navy. At present he has three sons
in the service, the youngest but 16
years of age.
Captain Stayton made it clear that
he was representing only the Navy
league of the United States, and not
the shipping board Or the Navy de
partment of the government.
Yet, despite his unofficial capacity,
his work is being strongly com
mended by the government shipping
board, he said.
Aid Sought for Navy.
The captain discussed the difficul
ties in the way pf maintaining' a fleet
overseas, of supplying it with coal, of
transporting troops across the ocean
and of adequately supplying with coal
the" ships of the navy. lie also pointed
out the great terminal and docking
facilities which are demanded for the
most expeditious transporting of
troops and supplies to France.

Nebraska section of the Nevy League
