Colegio Nacional Buenos Aires [1920s-1960s]

Description: The Colegio Nacional Buenos Aires (Buenos Aires National High School) was created in mid-16th century and administered by the Jesuits. When the latter were suppressed in 1767, the school languished until President Bartolomé Mitré renamed it with its actual name and the school started to recover from its history in colonial time. To-day, its administration depends on the University of Buenos Aires and constitutes one of the most prestigious schools in Argentina. Extent and format of original material: Envelope.
