Universidad Nacional de la Pampa

La creación de la Universidad Nacional de La Pampa se cumplió en un lapso significativamente breve, que apenas comprende los últimos cuatro meses del año 1958. En verdad que existen algunos antecedentes, en especial iniciativas vinculadas con estudios superiores en materia agronomía y veterinaria. Asimismo, el hecho de que el proceso creativo pudiese desenvolverse en tan breve lapso, demuestra que se habia formado un estado de opinión favorable en el grupo dirigente con capacidad de decisión en ese momento. Es que, en aquella época, había que crear los medios para completar la organización de la flamante provincia y, sobre todo, para proyectarla decididamente a la construcción de un futuro superior.

El proceso creativo se cumplió ceñidamente entre el 27 de agosto de 1958 y el 4 de septiembre del mismo año.

En la Primera fecha fue dictado el Decreto por qué se manda proyectar un instituto universitario en La Pampa. Lleva el número 1558/58 y designa al doctor Ernesto Benito Bonicatto para esa tarea. Debía tener por objeto “el estudio y desarrollo de los conocimientos dirigidos a resolver los problemas regionales de la Provincia y su zona de influencia”.

El 2 de septiembre de 1958, el doctor Bonicatto eleva el proyecto solicitado al interventor nacional, doctor Ismael Amit. Prevé que la Universidad de La Pampa -así propone llamarla- tendrá escuelas superiores de Ciencias Económicas y Sociales y escuelas de Visitadoras de Higiene y Asistentes Sociales, de Electrotecnia, de Obstetricia y de Enfermeras.

El 4 de septiembre el Interventor Nacional de La Pampa, doctor Amit, dicta el Decreto de Ley 1644/58, subscripto también por los ministros Héctor Carlos Fazzini y Modesto Luis A. Del Sueldo. Aprueba las bases propuestas para la creación, organización y funcionamiento de la Universidad de La Pampa y dispone su creación con sede en la ciudad de Santa Rosa.

La Universidad Nacional de La Pampa tiene como Bases y Objetivos:

• Es una entidad de derecho público, autónoma y autárquica, que tiene como fines interpretar las necesidades de la sociedad y dinamizar el cambio en la misma, como asimismo la promoción, la difusión y la preservación de la cultura.  Cumple este propósito en contacto directo y permanente con el pensamiento universal y presta particular atención a los problemas regionales y nacionales.


• Contribuye al desarrollo de la cultura, en el marco de una concepción humanista, mediante los estudios, la investigación científica y tecnológica y la creación artística.  Difunde las ideas, los logros de la ciencia y las realizaciones artísticas, por la enseñanza y los diversos medios de comunicación de los conocimientos.  Tiene especialmente el propósito de formar hombres democráticos.


• Es una comunidad de docentes, estudiantes, graduados y personal no docente.  Procura la formación integral y armónica de sus componentes e infunde en ellos rectitud moral, responsabilidad cívica y convicciones democráticas.  Forma investigadores originales, profesionales idóneos y docentes de carrera, socialmente comprometidos y dispuestos a servir a un modelo de país políticamente libre, económicamente independiente y socialmente justo.  Encauza a los graduados en la enseñanza y en las tareas de investigación y a través de ellos estrecha su relación con la sociedad.  Desarrolla instancias de autoevaluación en procura de un mejoramiento de las actividades académicas.


• Es esencialmente democrática y como tal afirma y defiende la doctrina democrática.  Es prescindente en materia ideológica,  política y religiosa, asegura dentro de su recinto la más amplia libertad de investigación y de expresión, pero no se desentiende de los hechos y procesos sociales, políticos e ideológicos, sino que los estudia científicamente y procura aportar soluciones superadoras.


• Además de su tarea específica de centro de estudios y de enseñanza superior procura difundir los beneficios de su acción cultural y social directa, mediante le extensión universitaria.


• Estudia y expone objetivamente sus conclusiones sobre los problemas nacionales y presta asesoramiento técnico a las instituciones estatales, pudiendo realizar convenios con instituciones privadas siempre que la naturaleza de éstas últimas responda al interés general.

Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina Santa María de los Buenos Aires - UCA

In our country, and in the Catholic environment, repeated talks started on the need for a denominational university during the second half of the nineteenth century, which defines the opposition to secularism that characterized all that period.

The idea of the creation of the University appears first in the Eucharistic Congress in 1884. In that Assembly held in the same year as the enactment of Law 1420 there was a resolution in favor of freedom of teaching in secondary and higher education. Furthermore, the idea of creating a Catholic University emerged, invested with the power to confer academic degrees in various faculties, in which Catholic doctrine would be taught in its entirety.

When at the end of the decade, Catholics resumed their interrupted movement, the same idea enthusiastically returned to be exteriorized. In the Assemblies of 1907 (Buenos Aires) and 1908 (Córdoba) the issue of academic freedom ocupies a preferential place. The first Catholic Youth Congress in 1908 notes the importance of the integral formation of youth and insists on carrying forward the resolutions that since 1902 had been adopted by the Episcopate in the sense of founding a Catholic University “in which youth are prepared for the exercise of professions and where the integrity of the catholic doctrine is taught.” Finally, the initiative is fulfilled in 1910 by decision of the Argentine Episcopate, who founded the Catholic University of Buenos Aires. This first University had been designed exclusively to provide its’ students, within a catholic formation and general culture, the required capacity for the exercise of certain professions. At that time there were no laws which regulated private universities, and in accordance with the constitutional provisions that recognize the right to teach and learn, the bishops believed that the lack of it, that it was no reason to deviate from the foundation of a university.

Fr. Luis Duprat was appointed Rector and the Higher Council for its part was made up of Drs. Joaquin Cullen, Emilio Lamarca and Angel Pizarro among others. Only after two years of its foundations its sole Faculty started to function, the Law Faculty. The curricula of the Faculty were organized under the public University plans and year after year it completed until it reached 6 years, having all subjects completed adding two obligatory courses of Philosophy and History which were destined to integrate the formation of students.

However, the life of this first Catholic University was short-lived: by failing to obtain recognition of their qualifications by the state, it closed its doors in 1922. All efforts were irrelevant to save the crisis in which the University was in. But the experience left a great lesson, it revealed the possibility of establishing a teacher body and an adequate structure capable of serving as base and preparation for an independent institute and of higher culture.

Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia

D. Mendeleyev University of Chemical Technology of Russia has its roots going far back into the 19^th century. Back then, professors from the Imperial Moscow Technical School (currently, Bauman State Technical University, Moscow, Russia) came up with an idea of establishing an Industrial College in Moscow to train “Chemical and Mechanical Engineer Assistants”.

This proposal received an enormous support on behalf of the Moscow City Duma on February 9, 1880, which passed a Decision to Build an Industrial College in Moscow to Commemorate the 25^th Anniversary of the Russian Emperor Alexander II Reign.

The college foundation was laid on Miusskaya Square in Moscow on May 23, 1898. The classes began on July 1 in leased premises, and the first class was out of school in 1906.

First graduates of Moscow Industrial College

Auditory building of Moscow Industrial College, 1904

Moscow Industrial College had a strong faculty, many of whom had been professionally trained at the Imperial Moscow Technical School and Moscow State University. This fact predetermined the dynamic development of the new educational institution, which was transformed into the Moscow Chemical Technical College in 1918, and began to churn out applied engineers.

Moscow Industrial College teachers, 1904

In 1920, Moscow Chemical Technical College was used as a basis to establish Moscow D. Mendeleyev Institute of Chemical Technology (MCTI), which became the first specialised chemical technical school establishment in Russia to train professionals for the chemical and related industries, and made a hefty contribution in the industrial development and defense potential, especially during World War II.

In 1992, the Decree by the Russian Government transformed Moscow D. Mendeleev Institute of Chemical Technology into D. Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia.

Moscow D. Mendeleyev Institute of Chemical Technology became the forebear of a number of renowned higher educational institutions in the USSR, and other countries. MCTI/MUCTR takes pride in its famous scientists and founders of new research areas, such as Academicians N. Vorozhtsov, N. Zhavoronkov, V. Korshak, B. Zhukov, V. Koptyug, V. Legasov, V. Kafarov, famed process engineers N. Yushkevich, V. Yung, G. Petrov, A. Bakayev, senior officials within Russia’s higher education system, including S. Kaftanov and G. Yagodin, the USSR Minister of Culture P. Dyomichev, and many others.

The glorious cohort of the disciples carries on the cause of their teachers. MCTI/MUCTR graduates have effectively dealt with the challenges facing the USSR and Russia, including the defense issues.

This school is unlike others in terms of the fundamental nature and wide range of training provided to its students, multiple forms of the training process, and blending of the academic and research activities within the University. Currently, MUCTR is among the leaders of Russia’s technical universities, and enjoys the highest rating among Russia’s chemical technology schools. The University has gained the international recognition as a leading educational and research centre providing training for highly skilled professionals. MUCTR owes much of its success for over the past 20 years to Academician P. Sarkisov, Rector and current President of the University.

During nearly 130 years of existence, the University went through a lot of trials and tribulations alongside the Russian science and industry, including the painful period of World War II, and the post-war reconstruction of Russian economy. The faculty and staff of D. Mendeleyev University dealt enthusiastically with the issues of the nuclear energy use, cybernetics development, and conservation of the environment. Today, too, the University researchers continue their studies in the cutting-edge areas of the chemical science, and achieve outstanding results in bringing solutions to the problems of the fundamental science and applied research.

Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia

The Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia (Herzen University) is one of the oldest teacher-training institutions in the country. It was founded on 2(14) May 1797 by Emperor Paul I as St. Petersburg Educational House, and later lay the foundations for other pedagogical institutions in the XIX – early XX centuries. These were formed into a single pedagogical institute by Decree of the People’s Commissar for Education on 1 September 1918. On 15 January 1920 the Presidium of the All-Union Executive Committee decreed that the institute be named after Alexander Herzen. The Ministry of Education, in issuing order No. 25 of 24 January 1991, gave Leningrad State Pedagogical Institute university status, and it has been called the Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia since then.

The university’s contribution to Russian society has been substantial, and we recall with pride the names of the outstanding scientists and scholars who have worked at Herzen University, making their significant contributions to the development of the country’s science and industry. Among them are such luminaries as academician I. Kurchatov, the father of the Russian nuclear physics school; professor A. Gershun, the founder of the optical industry; the astronomer S. Glasenapp; academician V. Ipatieff, an army general and a chemist; A. Fersman, the pioneer of geochemistry, professor V. Perekalin, the chemist who supervised the development of the pharmaceutical drug Phenibut, used in aerospace medicine and child psychiatry. The plethora of famous Herzen personalities includes pedagogues P. Kapterev, V. Soroka-Rossinsky, and A. Pinkevich; chemists V. Verkhovsky, and A. Favorsky, the botanist V. Komarov, geographers V. Semenov-Tian-Shansky and Yu. Shokalsky, physiologists L. Orbeli and K. Bykov, the mathematician G. Fikhtengolts, historians E. Tarle, V. Struve, A. Presnyakov, S. Oldenburg, B. Grekov, the psychologist L. Vygotsky, philologists S. Ozhegov, L. Scherba, V. Zhirmunsky, N. Marr, writers M. Gorky and E. Zamyatin, and many others. Today Herzen University employs more than 1700 scholars, 1000 of whom hold Candidate of Science degrees, 300 are Doctors of Science, 6 are academicians and 9 are corresponding members of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Russian Academy of Education, and 23 are Honoured Scientists of the Russian Federation. In 2012 Professor A. Grib, Department of Theoretical Physics and Astronomy, was awarded the gold medal by the Telesio-Galilei Academy of Science (TGA 2012) for his fundamental contribution to the development of the theory of quantum fields in curved space.

The University’s graduates make a considerable contribution to the country’s social and cultural life. Some of the writers, poets, composers, actors, sportsmen, and political figures are well-known outside of Russia, as well, including: N. Zabolotsky, A. Kushner, V. Sangi, A. Chepurov, L. Reznikov, A. Morozov, L. Egorova.

By decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 30 of 15 January 1998 Herzen University was included in the list of the State Corpus of Heritage Sites in Russia. This decree is further proof that today the University is among the leaders in Russian education, a major cultural and educational center, a unique multidiscipline research and educational complex which maintains and develops the best academic and educational traditions in Russia and worldwide.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

The mission of MIT is to advance knowledge and educate students in science, technology, and other areas of scholarship that will best serve the nation and the world in the 21st century. The Institute is committed to generating, disseminating, and preserving knowledge, and to working with others to bring this knowledge to bear on the world’s great challenges. MIT is dedicated to providing its students with an education that combines rigorous academic study and the excitement of discovery with the support and intellectual stimulation of a diverse campus community. We seek to develop in each member of the MIT community the ability and passion to work wisely, creatively, and effectively for the betterment of humankind. The Institute admitted its first students in 1865, four years after the approval of its founding charter. The opening marked the culmination of an extended effort by William Barton Rogers, a distinguished natural scientist, to establish a new kind of independent educational institution relevant to an increasingly industrialized America. Rogers stressed the pragmatic and practicable. He believed that professional competence is best fostered by coupling teaching and research and by focusing attention on real-world problems. Toward this end, he pioneered the development of the teaching laboratory. Today MIT is a world-class educational institution. Teaching and research-with relevance to the practical world as a guiding principle-continue to be its primary purpose. MIT is independent, coeducational, and privately endowed. Its five schools and one college encompass 34 academic departments, divisions, and degree-granting programs, as well as numerous interdisciplinary centers, laboratories, and programs whose work cuts across traditional departmental boundaries.

Adelphi University

Adelphi is a place of opportunity where students gain the skills, knowledge and exposure to thrive as professionals and active citizens in an interconnected and fast-paced global society. Adelphi prides itself on a distinguished 118-year history.

Opportunity Through Exceptional Education

Adelphi has a long and impressive history of preparing students of all backgrounds through exceptional liberal arts and sciences education and professional training.

Adelphi is a pacesetter.

Adelphi’s College of Nursing and Public Health began in 1943 as the first Central Collegiate School of Nursing, which became one of the largest units of the U.S. Cadet Nurse Corps. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt dedicated the residence halls built to accommodate the cadets in 1944. Today, the College of Nursing and Public Health is thriving and, in 2015, will move to a new home in the 100,000-square-foot Nexus Building and Welcome Center.

In 1972, Adelphi’s Gordon F. Derner Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies became the nation’s first university-based professional school of psychology. Since then, the Derner Institute has emerged as an internationally recognized leader in scientific and clinical psychology.

Adelphi is a center of opportunity.

With one of the lowest tuitions among the 19 private colleges and universities on Long Island, Adelphi has been named a Best Buy by the Fiske Guide to Colleges for eight consecutive years. A low student-to-faculty ratio (10:1) enables Adelphi to carry out its commitment topersonalized education. And Adelphi’s graduation rates—the highest of any comprehensive private college in the Long Island region—are proof of the effectiveness of its approach.

Adelphi is a place of excellence.

Adelphi students are making their mark across academic fields and country borders. Adelphi students have garnered Fulbright Fellowships for research and service abroad. They have been recruited to leading universities for graduate work and to premier global companies, such as Google, to pursue rewarding careers. They have won prestigious scholarships, such as the Goldwater Scholarship, for their research and innovation. Students in Adelphi’s highly regarded performing arts program have garnered numerous accolades from the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival. The American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance frequently has recognized students in the physical education program for their leadership, scholarship and community service.

Adelphi is a leader in global education.

Adelphi builds on a long tradition of global engagement dating back to its first president, Charles Levermore, Ph.D. As an outspoken internationalist, friend and classmate of Woodrow Wilson and recipient of the Bok Peace Prize, Dr. Levermore set an inspiring example. In 2006, Adelphi introduced its Levermore Global Scholars Program, an academic and co-curricular program designed to give select students across all majors additional exposure to global learning and service. Levermore Global Scholars can take advantage of global internships, programs with the United Nations, unique service projects and leadership training as well as individualized research opportunities. In recent years, Adelphi has expanded the study-abroad opportunities for all of its students. Today, students can choose from semester- and year-long programs as well as short-term, faculty-led intercession and summer courses in locations around the globe.
