 Scope and Content

This addition to the Louis J. HallePapers consists of a two page typescript by Halle entitled "Memories Of One Who Taught at Bologna" (1989). In the typescript, Halle explains that one of the reasons that he moved from his government work in the State Departmentto the academic world was to help close the gap between "foreign relations experienced in a foreign office and as taught in the universities."

Louis J. Hallebegan his teaching career as a university professor in 1956 when he was forty-five years old. In this paper he discusses two problems caused by his late start in the academic world. One of these was the amount of time it took him to carefully craft each lecture so that it would be suitable for publication. The other more insurmountable problem was his lack of the proper academic "credentials" such as a graduate degree and an "orthodox" academic vocabulary and doctrine. Halle attributes his survival of his teaching experience to the few occasional academic statesmen who rose above academic conformism, such as the directors of the Bologna Center.
