Founded in 1943, it forms part of the Jesuit University System, a network of Jesuit-run private universities with member institutions in several Mexican cities.该校创办于 1943 年，是耶稣会大学体系的成员，这一体系是覆盖墨西哥多座城市的耶稣会私立大学网络。

History

• The university was founded in 1943 by the Society of Jesus and grew out of an institution originally called Centro Cultural Universitario, reaching full-scale university status by 1953, ten years after the foundation.该校 1943 年由耶稣会创办，前身名为大学文化中心（Centro Cultural Universitario），至 1953 年即建校 10 年后发展为完整规模的大学。

• A significant part of the aid came from Rodolfo Brito Foucher, then rector of the National Autonomous University of Mexico and earlier head of its law faculty.创办过程中出力甚多的是时任墨西哥国立自治大学校长、此前执掌该校法学院的罗多尔福·布里托·富切尔。

• Brito Foucher, a lawyer, held that a Jesuit university did not contradict the Constitution of 1917, since its prohibition of Catholic involvement in education specified only primary and secondary schooling.作为律师的布里托·富切尔认为耶稣会办大学并不违反 1917 年宪法，因为宪法禁止教会介入教育的规定只针对小学与中学。

• A key group among the founders were former student activists of the Unión Nacional de Estudiantes Católicos, the Jesuit-directed national union of Catholic students known by its acronym UNEC, whose organising predated the 1943 foundation.创办者中的关键群体，是耶稣会指导下的全国天主教学生联合会（UNEC）的前学生活动分子，其组织活动早于 1943 年建校。

• The founding came at a time when church-state relations in Mexico had improved after the Cristero War of the late 1920s and the government's attempt at socialist education in the 1930s.建校之时，墨西哥的政教关系已从 1920 年代末的基督战争以及 1930 年代政府推行社会主义教育的尝试之后走向缓和。

• The patronage of the business community was decisive for the foundation, with firms donating funds for building the campus in the 1940s.工商界的赞助对学校的创立起了决定作用，1940 年代企业界捐资兴建校园。

• Members of the business community also guaranteed loans while the university was being established, a form of support recorded in its historical accounts.工商界人士还在办学过程中为贷款提供担保，这一支持形式见诸校史记述。

• When the Mexican economy expanded between the 1940s and the 1960s, professionals trained at Ibero entered the private sector and the business world in growing numbers.1940 至 1960 年代墨西哥经济扩张期间，该校培养的专业人才成批进入私营部门与工商界。

• Many of the former leaders of UNEC, the Catholic student union of the founding generation, later served on the university's board of trustees.创办一代所属的天主教学生联合会许多前领导人，其后进入大学董事会任职。

• Ibero had the aim of promoting Catholic culture and of training elites to take leading roles in Mexican society, a mission it pursued through its teaching and its patronage networks.学校以弘扬天主教文化、培养能在墨西哥社会担任领导角色的精英为使命，并通过教学与赞助网络贯彻这一目标。

• Among the businessmen and politicians it has trained is Vicente Fox, the successful presidential candidate of the National Action Party of Mexico, who held the presidency from 2000 to 2006.其培养的商界与政界人物中，包括墨西哥国家行动党的成功总统候选人比森特·福克斯，他于 2000 至 2006 年担任总统。

• The Society of Jesus has been a leader in humanistic education since its start in the sixteenth century, and when the Jesuits reached New Spain in 1572 they created renowned teaching and research centres.耶稣会自 16 世纪创立起便是人文主义教育的引领者，1572 年到达新西班牙后，他们创办了一批著名的教学与研究中心。

• Among those early Jesuit institutions, founded in the decades after 1572, were the colleges of St. Ildefonso, Vizcainas, and St. Peter and St. Paul, several of the prestigious establishments of that era.在 1572 年之后的数十年间，耶稣会创办的早期机构包括圣伊尔德丰索学院、比斯卡伊纳斯学院以及圣彼得与圣保罗学院，均为当时享有声望的学府。

• Ibero itself forms part of a network of 8 Jesuit universities located in various Mexican cities, which in turn belong to wider Jesuit university systems.伊比利亚美洲大学本身是分布于墨西哥多座城市的 8 所耶稣会大学网络的一员，该网络又隶属更大的耶稣会大学体系。

• That wider network counts 31 Jesuit universities and colleges across Latin America, making the Mexican provincial institutions part of a continental educational structure.这一更大网络在拉丁美洲拥有 31 所耶稣会大学与学院，使墨西哥各省的耶稣会院校成为大陆性教育结构的一部分。

• Worldwide some 200 Jesuit universities and colleges are recorded, the wider setting of the Mexican foundation created in 1943 and its sister campuses.全世界计有约 200 所耶稣会大学与学院，这是 1943 年创办的墨西哥校区群及其兄弟院校所处的更大格局。
