All three of his pre-medical-school diplomas are marked “Has been burned” — destroyed in the 1922 Asia Minor catastrophe. Only his Athens medical degree survived as a duplicate from the University records. The note “the accompanying three certificates of Paris give in detail the title of studies and practice in the Hospitals of the above country” indicates his Paris-era credentials had been separately registered with the Greek Embassy.

A small detail in the medium

The CV is written on the reverse side of a recycled commercial letterhead — the letterhead of Nicholas E. Marcoglou, Import, Export & Commission Merchant, Singer Building, 149 Broadway, New York, with a branch office in Smyrna. The Marcoglou business specialized in Macedonian, Turkish, and Russian leaf tobacco. The fact that Lazaros had Marcoglou’s stationery to recycle in 1924 places him in the NY Greek-American business network from his earliest months in the city — a network that would later include the Soma Refugees Association NY fundraising he coordinated by 1927.
