A Will be first to receive his M. D. SIR JOSEPH LISTER IN the last 80 years the average life span of persons in the civilized world has been lengthened immensely. Some of the main causes of this great advance have been the marvelous developments made possible by medical researchers who, through their untiring service to humanity, have enabled doctors to save the lives of an enormous number of persons. Today, I wish to speak about one of those men, Sir Joseph Lister. If it were notfor his genius many of us here today might not be alive, Lister's life began in Upton, England, in the spring of 1827. He receivedhis early education at the Quaker Schools at Hitchin and at Tottenham. He then attended Univer- sity college, in London, where he received training from the two noted physiologists, Wharton Jones and William Sharpey. After his graduation from college, Joseph Lister went to Edinburg with an introduction from Sharpey and became the house surgeon to a man named Syme. In 1856 he became as- sistant surgeon for the Royal Infirmary. His writings of his various experiments NJEEKERSH Binghamton, N.Y.

Lister made other improvements in the field of surgery but this was his greatest. When Sir Lister died in 1912, he had re- ceived many world honors, including Eng- land's Order of Merit . After his death, the British Medical Journal endorsed the many honors which had been showered upon him by declaring that the introduction of his system had saved more lives than all the wars of the nineteenth century had s a c r i- ficed.

PERU THE Republic of Peru also known as the land of the Incas, is situated on the Western Coast of South America, between the Equa- tor and the Tropic of Capricorn. This small but beautiful country is hardly larger than Texas and California combined. lt's cap- ital and largest city is Lima. The population of Peru is about eight million people Roughly one-third of these are white and the rest are separated as first: Mestizos fa mixture of white and Indian bloodlg and finally the remnants of pure Indian stock. These few Indians inhabiting the Eastern jungles, are the only uncivilized peoples in Peru, For recreation, there are bullfights and soccer games almost every Sunday after- noon, and sometimes some baseball games. There is swimming on many beautiful beaches along the coast of Peru, one of the nicest being Ancon a few miles away from Lima. The University of San Marcos sit- uated in Lima is the oldest University in the Western Hemisphere, The Plaza San Martin in the heart of Lima is an excellent example of Latin American urban beauty. The beautiful wild jungles, contain orchids of many sizes and colors, lovely tropical birds, and beautifully colored butterflies. The beautiful Volcano called the Misti which overlooks the city of Arequipa, sit- uated South of Lima, supplies the adobe from which Arequipa's white homes are built. That is why Arequipa is called the White City. Peru's armed forces consists of sixty- thousand men, and includes small size navy and air corps, and a larger force which is the army. Most of the men in the armed forces are Mestizos who are stronger, and better fighters than the white. Roads, rail- roads, ships, and commercial planes cover almost all of Peru, and provide adequate but ever expanding travel facilities. Peru's chief exports are cotton, sugar, petroleum, guano, and some silver. Peru is progressing rapidly and with time, given its chance in trade and its say in world affairs, this little nation will rise to its own great place in the world fa.mily of nations.
