The Salzburg Program at Fifty The University celebrates its oldest and largest study-abroad program this academic year, and will close the anniversary at reunion 2014 in June with much attention paid to the creative effort that the late Bishop Paul Waldschmidt, C.S.C., started himself in 1964 (famously carrying home Austrian oak acorns in his pockets to plant on campus). Of course the essence of the Salzburg Program, the heart and soul of its sweet energy, are the teachers and staffers; with this issue we bring you some, with more to come in our next issues.
