...first feast of signatures was spread on a yellow-tapestried table in the Gobelin Hall of old Belvedere Palace, Vienna. In these halls once roared the voice of Eugen of Savoy, one of the Habsburgs' greatest warriors. Here strode Archduke Franz Ferdinand before Sarajevo.

Rosemary teachers conduct classes and even lunch in academic gowns, address students by last names.
