DSF: The Cosmopolitan University San Francisco is an international city. With one of the world’s largest natural harbors, it attracts commerce from all over the world and its financial district is the home of numerous international banks and corporations. Caught between the financial district and the old Italian section of North Beach are some of the world’s finest restaurants and cheesiest nightclubs. The largest Chinese community outside of Hong Kong dwells in the squalid splendor of Chinatown; remnants of a once-great Italian ghetto still exist in gaudy North Beach. Spanish, Russian, French, and Japanese are the primary languages of many of its neighborhoods and the “City that knows how” is run by a tight clique of sons of Irish immigrants. San Francisco boasts of being the cultural center of the West, with its magnificent opera house and numerous art galleries, theatres, and museums; yet it contains within its city limits two large Negro slums where a substantial minority of the inhabitants are illiterate. It is a city of paradoxes. In the center of this cosmopolitan melting pot stands the University of San Francisco. 7
