Lisa Sergio, specialist and lecturer in world affairs, will be on the campus
of Methodist College on November 16 and 17 as a Danforth Visiting Lecturer.
Miss Sergio will give a lecture entitled, "Young Nations at the Crossroads"
on Tuesday evening, November 17 at 8 o'clock in the Student Union. This is
the fourth program in the 1964-65 Concert-Lecture Series, to which the public
is invited.
Miss Sergio is recognized on both sides of the Atlantic as one of the ablest
and best informed analysts of international affairs. Her rise to prominence
occurred through a unique chain of events which led her from archaeological research
to radio, from close association with a dictator to fearless militancy for
democracy and individual freedom, and from the invention of a system for
teaching languages over the radio to the editorship of a magazine and a worldwide news service.
Lisa Sergio was born in Florence, Italy. Her mother was Margaret Fitzgerald
of Baltimore, and her father was a half-Scottish Italian nobleman, Baron
Agostino Sergio.
At fifteen, Lisa Sergio translated a play from French into Italian, and saw it
produced. At seventeen, she was associate Editor of the only English newspaper
in Italy—a literary weekly, "The Italian Mail"—which counted among its contributors many celebrated writers, among them Walter Savage Landor, D. H.
Lawrence, and Aldous Huxley.

When Miss Sergio was twenty-two, she resigned the editorship to turn to
archaeology. She worked on the Roman excavations at Ostia and at Pompeii,
eventually contributing an official guide book to the latter site.
In 1932, at a time when Fascism was generally regarded as "a good thing
for Italy" , it was Guglielmo Marconi, "The father of the wirelese", who persuaded Miss Sergio to enter the field of radio. She thus became the first woman
commentator in Europe.
Her close association with the Italian dictator and his government soon
disgusted Miss Sergio with totalitarianism. Carefully at first, and eventually
more daringly, she used her unique position to attempt to reveal its dangers.
Finally caught, she evaded arrest and escaped to America with the aid of Marconi.
A few days after Miss Sergio's arrival in the U . S . , she was broadcasting over NBC.
and by the time the war began, she had established herself as one of America's
leading commentators with New York's WQXR and with the ABC network. The
recipient of many honors and awards for broadcasting work, she soon made a place
for herself in the lecture field. Among her other awards is the French Legion of Honor.
Miss Sergio was for several terms a Lecturer in Sociology at Columbia University,
specializing in Propaganda and Psychological Warfare Studies,
In 1956 she
accepted the editorship of Worldover Press and held this position for four years,
until she decided to make lecturing her major activity.
In recent years Miss Sergio has visited the Soviet Union and other countries in
the Soviet sphere, has lectured through India and East Pakistan under State Department
sponsorship, and presently makes her headquarters in Washington, D. C. v.hile
free-lancing in radio and television, she devotes time to many voluntary activities
