Description
Summary:Early modern Spanish-American universities, founded by the Crown, were academic training centers for the bureaucracy and were sought to have copious professionals to maintain control over their territories. The solvent urban young men were educated in different universities. However, their professional careers did not depend solely on their academic interests, but were also affected by the fate of their family. We found that Mexican and from Lima graduates discovered a space in the reading of the professors at the third Royal University in Hispanic America, founded in San Carlos. Documents preserved in different repositories show the mobility of the university students. This is a subject that has not been frequently studied. We provide an evaluation of the Guatemalan mobility context.
