The Faculty of Administrative and Political Economy, which, as elsewhere stated, was founded by President Manuel Pardo, was first organized by the eminent scholar, Dr. Pradier Fodéré. The object of this faculty is to give special instruction to those who are preparing to follow a diplomatic career or to direct administrative offices. The degree of doctor is conferred after a three years’ course in constitutional, international, administrative, diplomatic and maritime law, political economy, economical legislation of Peru, science of finance, financial legislation of Peru, and statistics. The present dean of the faculty is Dr. Ramón Ribeyro, a noted authority on international affairs and a member of the supreme court of justice. The Faculty of Theology gives a theological education, the course covering six years. In the Faculty of Sciences, the student is allowed to enter the School of Engineers after completing the obligatory courses of the first and second years of mathematical sciences and physics. The University of Lima is destined to achieve greater distinction during the present century through its liberal and democratic ideals than was gained in the three centuries of existence under the influence of aristocratic exclusiveness. The new edifice of the Faculty of Medicine is one of the signs of material progress evident in many features of the institution. A _University Review_ is published monthly, replacing the annual volume founded in 1862 as the Annals of the University. Although the ancient University of San Marcos stands at the head of the educational institutions of Peru, the universities of Arequipa, Cuzco, and Trujillo are important centres of learning, having Faculties of Jurisprudence, Literature, and Political and Natural Sciences. The rector of the University of Arequipa, Dr. Jorge Polar, was Minister of Public Instruction during the first two years of President Pardo’s administration, and is an eminent authority on educational matters. Dr. Eliseo Araujo, rector of Cuzco University, is also a distinguished statesman as well as an experienced educator. Trujillo University is under the direction of Dr. Pedro M. Ureña, who succeeded Dr. Carlos Washburn as rector, when that statesman was called to the cabinet of President Pardo. [Illustration: THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE, LIMA.]
