Book excerpt: Excerpt from Latin-American Universities and Special Schools In referring to universities I have consistently designated them by the name of the city in which they are located, although that is not always their official and corporate name. The ecclesiastical founda tions of colonial times uniformly bore the name of a saint: San Marcos, at Lima; San Felipe, at Santiago de Chile; San Francisco Xavier, at Sucre, etc. In very few cases have the old names remained. Some institutions have received the name of the country, as the Uni versity of Chile; others the name of the city, as University of Cor doba. In order to avoid confusion and to indicate clearly the location of the institutions I have applied to each the name of the city.
