...masked ball sponsored by the Foreign Press Club in Rome's glittering Mattèi Palace, Cinemactress Gina Lollobrigida lifted her mask for a better look at a fur-clad stranger, soon recognized her as U.S. Ambassador to Italy Clare Boothe Luce, fresh from business in Bologna (see EDUCATION). As guest of honor, Gina was proclaimed the "Space Girl of 1954." Translation: she filled more column-inches in foreign publications than any other Italian last year...
With proper medieval pomp and ceremony, the University of Bologna's top academicians and some important guests, e.g., U.S. Ambassador to Italy Clare Boothe Luce, Italy's Education Minister Giuseppe Ermini, gathered in the high-ceilinged Aula Magna last week to inaugurate a new addition to one of Europe's oldest universities: the Bologna Center of the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, first U.S. graduate school to be established on the Continent.* Said Ambassador Luce: "America is not here to add something to Bologna's centuries-old tradition . . . but to gain strength from...
Spirit & Substance. The University of Bologna has much strength to offer, both in spirit and scholarly substance. Although its exact origins are lost in the mists of 11th century history, during the 13th century Bologna attracted as many as 10,000 students a year to study canon and civil law, rhetoric and composition.

While serving as a temporary State Department attaché in postwar Italy, Historian Haines had an idea: the young experts the U.S. and its allies need to conduct European affairs could best be trained on location. After winning over his Johns Hopkins superiors, Haines went back to Bologna with...
Unlike most graduate schools in the liberal arts, the Bologna Center is not primarily designed to turn out scholars, will grant no degrees-although credits earned there may be applied to advanced degrees from Johns Hopkins. Of four U.S. students already enrolled at the center, only blonde, 22-year-old Mary Lincoln of Paoli, Pa., a French foreign policy specialist, has any intention of becoming a teacher, and even she is seriously considering Government service. Says Director Haines: "What we are after is bright young people with promise of leadership." First students to fill the bill completely: two Austrians...
