Reverend John F. McCormick announced Creighton University's $2,000,000 Building and Endowment Campaign from Omaha Grain Exchange at 8:30 PM. The message urged expanding The College of Arts and Sciences building, a new stadium, and maintaining free tuition in Liberal Arts and High School while seeking greater endowment to avoid tuition hikes.
Creighton leaders urge rapid fundraising to fund Chemistry Building, Men's Dormitory, and a new Medical College Building near St. Joseph's Hospital. They emphasize growth to maintain prestige and address increasing student numbers and out-of-town housing needs. An expanded athletic stadium is also listed as a priority.
Creighton University faces a growing funding gap as enrollment doubled to 1988 in five years while endowment stood at 2.885 million in 1916. Harvard and Chicago boast far larger endowments, prompting a 2 million dollar enhancement plan including a 1 million dollar stadium project and another 1 million for endowment. Alumni support is sought, with a February appeal to Nebraskan residents and neighbors to fund expansion for thousands of future students.
