History

San Marcos was founded in 1551 by an order of Dominican friars headed by fr. Tomas de San Martin. It was subsequently officially recognized by a Royal Decree of Charles I of Spain and a papal bull of Pius V in 1571. Classes commenced on January 2, 1553, in the Dominican Convent of Our Lady of the Rosary. The opening lecture was performed by Andres Cianca and Cosme Carrillo, under the supervision of fr. Juan Bautista de La Roca. Later, the university was moved to a location adjacent to the Augustinian Convent of St. Marcellus. In 1575, it was moved again to the Plaza del Estanque, later called Plaza de la Inquisición, where the Congress of Peru is currently located. The city's rapid growth as consequence of the 19th century industrial revolution and of president Manuel Pardo's efforts to develop and improve Lima's urban planning during the 1870s moved San Marcos' campus to a new location contiguous to an old Jesuit monastery called Convictorio de San Carlos; this campus is now referred to as La Casona. Finally in the 1960s, it was moved to its present location, the modern University City campus.

Shield

Main article: History of the National University of San Marcos seal

San Marcos shields throughout its history, from left to right. The 1574 version of the original University shield already shows Saint Mark writing at a desk, a lion, three crowns, and the Latin phrase "Plus ultra". The second shield: the round shape was improved and the angel at the top modified and its wings made clear. The recent third shield added light computer-generated imagery effects.

Since its founding in 1550s, San Marcos's identifying symbols changed over the years, although the main pattern has been consistently maintained. From its founding until 1574, the university's first official shield featured an icon of the Virgin of the Rosary, patron saint of the Dominican friars; at the right was a representation of the Pacific Ocean and on the bottom a lime (fruit) (that is, the fruit, which in Spanish is a lima, hence Lima, Peru). The shield was approved by King Charles I of Spain in 1551. By the late 1570s and after a papal bull of Pope Pius V, the shield was modified, replacing the icon of the Virgin of the Rosary with Saint Mark. It is uncertain which colors were used on this shield, because documents in the 16th century were only black and white paper prints. It wasn't until 1929 when the colors—blue for the ocean, black or brown for the saint's icon, a light blue background, and silver for columns—became popular. The second logo improved the seals round shape, modified the angel pattern and made clear its wings, among other modifications. ... Image File history File links Logos450years-unmsm. ...

The Oldest University

There is some controversy regarding the claim that San Marcos is the oldest university in the Americas, although it is certainly the oldest on the continental mainland. Image File history File links UNMSM_foto2. ... Image File history File links UNMSM_foto2. ...

San Marcos is known as the Dean of America ("dean" in the sense of "oldest member"). There are other universities that claim similar titles, including the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo, founded in 1538, which regards itself as Primada de América. The Autonomous University of Santo Domingo —or Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo (UASD) in Spanish— is a public university in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. ...

UNMSM's claims are based on the fact that it was the first institution in the Americas established by a royal decree (signed by Charles I of Spain), and also on the fact that it is the only American institution of higher education from the sixteenth century to operate without interruption from the time of its founding. This last claim has been accepted by many historians, since many universities in the Americas were closed during the wars of independence or other conflicts or political turmoil. Charles (February 24, 1500 – September 21, 1558) was Holy Roman Emperor (as Charles V) from 1519-1558; he was also King of Spain from 1516_1556, officially as Charles I of Spain, although often referred to as Charles V (Carlos Quinto or Carlos V) in Spain and Latin America. ...

San Marcos also says that according to the Archivo General de Indias, a famous Spanish repository of documents on the former colonies in the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries, there were no official records authorizing any university or higher educational institution before UNMSM in 1551. [2] The Archivo de Indias, Seville The Archivo General de Indias (General Archive of the Indies) is the document repository, housed in Seville in the ancient merchants exchange, the Casa Lonja de Mercederes, of extremely valuable archival documents illustrating the history of the Spanish empire in the Americas and the Philippines. ...

(17th century - 18th century - 19th century - more centuries) As a means of recording the passage of time, the 18th century refers to the century that lasted from 1701 through 1800. ...

Other interpretations claim that while UNMSM is certainly the oldest university in Continental America, in the Americas as a whole the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo, in what is now the Dominican Republic, predates it by 14 years. The Autonomous National University of Mexico (UNAM) was chartered the same year as UNMSM (by a royal decree of September 21, 1551), as the Royal University of the New Spain.
