History
- In 1880 the national capital of Buenos Aires was federalised and the province was forced to cede the city, so La Plata was founded in 1882 as the province's new capital without any centre of higher education or research.1880 年布宜诺斯艾利斯市被联邦化,该省不得不让出这座城市;1882 年拉普拉塔作为省的新首府建立,却没有任何高等教育与研究机构。
- On 12 June 1889 the provincial senators Rafael Hernandez, Emilio J. Carranza, Marcelino Aravena and Valentin Fernandez Blanco presented a bill to create a provincial university in La Plata, and the next day about 150 youths rallied at the home of Hernandez with a band in support of the idea.1889 年 6 月 12 日,省议员拉斐尔·埃尔南德斯、埃米利奥·J·卡兰萨、马塞利诺·阿拉韦纳与瓦伦丁·费尔南德斯·布兰科提出议案,拟在拉普拉塔创办一所省立大学;次日约 150 名青年携乐队在埃尔南德斯住宅前集会声援。
- The law was passed by the provincial Chamber of Deputies on 27 December 1889 and enacted as Law 233 by Governor Maximo Paz on 2 January 1890, creating a university of four faculties, namely Law, Medicine, Chemistry and Pharmacy, and Mathematical and Physical Sciences.该法案于 1889 年 12 月 27 日获省众议院通过,并于 1890 年 1 月 2 日由省长马克西莫·帕斯颁行为第 233 号法律,规定设立法学、医学、化学与药学、数学与物理科学四个学院。
- The law went unimplemented for seven years, as a request of 5 May 1891 was closed in 1893, a renewed petition of 28 May 1894 to Governor Guillermo Udaondo produced only a favourable report, and another note was sent to the government in December 1896.该法律七年未获执行——1891 年 5 月 5 日的请愿于 1893 年被归档,1894 年 5 月 28 日向省长吉列尔莫·乌道恩多递交的再次请愿仅得到一份有利报告,1896 年 12 月又向政府发出新的催促函。
