Inauguration of the Universidad de Oriente. Discourses

Inauguration of the Universidad de Oriente, Discourses collects two oratory pieces from the founding beginnings of the Universidad de Oriente during the academic year 1947-1948: the salutation of the first rector, Dr. Felipe Salcines Morlote and the dean of the Faculty of Law and Commercial Sciences, Dr. Francisco Martínez Anaya on behalf of the Board of Directors. Two appendices complete the book, in the first he makes a selection of articles from the Statutes of the Universidad de Oriente. There appear the rights and duties of the faculty, the organization of teaching and learning, and even the responsibility of teachers to avoid verbalisms and "passivism". A curious note is the appendix in which the essential scheme of the Department of Cultural Relations appears. Hence the fact that the University was born with an extensionist vocation, which promoted relations with other research centers, publications, research, the development of a wide range of artistic activities but, especially, the concretion of the cultural spirit of our Alma Mater.
