Question

D'S OLDEST MASTER
Phyllis Turner, a 94-year-old great grandmother from Australia, is said to be the world's
oldest person to earn a university masters degree. She began studying for her
postgraduate degree at age 90 arid will receive her diploma this week from Adelaide
University. She told Australian journalists that she feels very excited and it has been a
wonderful experience.
Turner left primary school at the age of 12 after her father left the family. While her
mother worked long hours washing, cooking and cleaning for a rich family, she took care
of her brothers and sisters. Almost 60 years later, aged 70, she returned to study
anthropology at Adelaide University. She was named the best student in 2002 before
moving on to her master's degree.

Professor Maciej Henneberg said he was surprised by Turner's energy and dedication to
study. He said, "Mentally she was like any other 25-year-old student. She has a very
active mind. She used to wake up at five in the morning and think about something, and
then phone to say she wanted to check on it." Henneberg said Turner completed some
research on the anthropological history of Australia before the Europeans arrived.
Records show she is the oldest person in the world to feceive a postgraduate degree.
Henneberg added, "We are trying to get her into the Guinness Book of World Records."​
