Excerpt from Opportunities for Higher Education in Italy Many Americans think of Italy as a country of splendid history and interesting ruins. They are unaware of its remarkable progress in the activities that characterize the most advanced nations of today. They do not know of the great work done in its technical schools in the field of applied as well as of pure science which is so largely responsible for its industrial development. Nor do they know of the reputation of its distinguished scholars in the various humanistic subjects. This little guide to the Italian universities, other institutions of higher learning, technical schools, and higher institutions of education for girls, is intended for the American student who desires to study in Italy. It does not attempt to be exhaustive, but aims to provide prospective students with such information as will enable them to choose intelligently their place as well as their course of study.
