| Riassunto: | This article investigates the academic trip of Enrique Molina Garmendia, president at the time of the pro-University of Concepción Committee, later Rector of the University, around several universities in the United States between October 1918 and June 1919. The main purpose of his trip was to observe architectural and urban projects of those institutions, as well as their financial management, in order to support his model for the new university of the southern region of Chile. Using his book De California a Harvard: Estudio sobre las universidades norteamericanas y algunos problemas nuestros (1921) as the main reference, we will analyze how Molina convinced himself of the benefits of following the campus model at the University of Concepción, initiating the first university city experience in Latin America. |
