The University of the Republic (Udelar). It is the main institution of Higher Education and research in Uruguay. It is public and autonomous and opened its doors on July 18, 1849

Foundation

The Universidad Mayor de la República emerged into public life on July 18, 1849 when its inauguration and solemn installation in the chapel of San Ignacio was carried out in compliance with the Decree of July 14, 1849 promulgated by President Joaquín Suárez.

However, the process begins its founding sixteen years before the November of June of 1833, when the proposed law by then – Senator of the Republic, the Presbyter Dámaso Antonio Larrañaga, is approved. This law provided for the creation of nine chairs. In accordance with it, the President of the Republic should formally decree its installation when the majority of the chairs are being exercised. Thus arises the House of General Studies which, in 1836, already had established the chairs of Latin, Philosophy, Mathematics, Theology and Jurisprudence.

The 27 of maypole of 1838, President Manuel Oribe issued a decree that makes the House of General Studies in Higher University of the Republic. On May 28, the Executive Power sent to the Chambers a draft Organic Law for the institution that had been drafted by Dámaso Antonio Larrañaga but could not be considered when the civil war broke out in our country (Great War).

President Joaquín Suárez in his decree of July 14, 1849, orders to immediately comply with the norms established in 1833 and 1838 and at the inauguration ceremony, on July 18, 1849, the Apostolic Vicar Lorenzo A. Fernández, successor, is appointed Rector. of the late Dámaso Antonio Larrañaga as the main national ecclesiastical hierarchy. Although it seems that the new institution is under the power of the Church, in reality the real control is exercised by the State through its Minister of Government.
