We consider a priority, institutionally and personally, to recognize the outstanding contributions of Doctor Emilio Barrantes Revoredo as a posthumous homage. Such a remarkable intellectual, leader and master of masters was our professor and dean of the Education Faculty in San Marcos University (the Oldest University in America and one of the most prestigious) in two terms from 1956 to 1961 and then from 1964 to 1967. As an intellectual he was a true admirer of Peru and Education. He described our country, detailing and highlighting its geographic, historic, cultural and ethnical diversity. As an educator he was a Humanist in the philosophical and artistic ambits. His intellectual output was quite large. He kept writing and publishing books, articles and studies until he was 100 years old. One of his most remarkable books was “Introduction to Pedagogy”. In the seventies, he presided the Commission for National Education Reform. In 1969, He elaborated the National Education Reform Law which contributed significantly to the improvement of the National Education System; this law was recognized nationally and internationally. Because of his major contributions he was awarded with the “Palmas Magisteriales en el Grado de Amauta” Trophy. A National Award given only to a few outstanding people. In July 2007, he passed away, leaving an exceptional legacy of great contributions and a great example of a life lived to serve his country and humankind.
