Amongst its objectives is to support the work of the United Nations and its agencies. This lecture was given at the Royal Commonwealth Society, London on 10th September 1999.

Jean Thompson (as former Chair of U3A) follows with a profile of the role of U3A (University of the Third Age) in the United Nations International Year of Older Persons; and how continual learning contributes to the acquisition of personal wisdom.
