This article had several errors which I just removed: The NAC is not for lay students. It does not confer academic degrees. And the picture to the right (of the Gregorian) is not part of the NAC.
I just wanted to say that whoever added the sources section and the book cited - it was not used to add info to this article. The info that's here is from personal experience.67.80.139.189 22:01, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
There is no need for a reference to the Josephenum. Maybe there should be mention of the universities of Rome, though.
[edit] Pontfical North American College
The one important legal correction is that the College is not located in Vatican City, but rather in Rome on Italian soil. The Janiculum campus of the College is located on property that enjoys a certain degree of "extraterritoriality" pursuant to the "Concordat" (treaty) between Vatican City State and the Republic of Italy. In international law, "extraterritoriality" means that the given property is not subject to the jurisdiction of the country where it is located. It does not mean that the given property is actually a "little piece" of the country to whom extraterritoriality is granted (Vatican City State in this case). Under the Corcordat there are varying degrees of exterritoriality, and the degree of extraterritoriality enjoyed by the College's Janiculum campus is such that it is not entirely exempt from Italian jurisdiction. The College's Casa S. Maria campus in central Rome does not enjoy any degree of extraterritoriality. Purely as a convenience, however, the College does have a Vatican City postal address as well as an Italian one (Via del Gianicolo, 14; 00165 Rome), but that is not sufficient to put it in Vatican City.
The other changes are pretty much self-explanatory, except that for consistency I removed "Cardinal" from the names of the two rectors who later became cardinals since none of the other rectors in the list have an indication of their offices, either as rector or later (i.e.,father/monsignor/bishop/archbishop).
