Gregorio Funes founded, with due authorization, a chair of arithmetic, algebra and geometry, endowing it with the sum of five hundred pesos per year from his patrimony. The purpose of the illustrious benefactor was to give mathematical sciences a place of honor in the teaching of the University, next to the traditional disciplines. The new pedagogical ideas that Doctor Funes brought from Spain were the main part of this useful and plausible innovation, which should be considered as an echo of that fundamental movement of the 18th century that tended to the enthronement of the exact and natural sciences and of a philosophy founded on them. The mathematics classroom was inaugurated on Ash Day 1809, with Mr. Carlos O'Donell as its first teacher, whose competence and commitment gave considerable credit to the teaching. In 1811, Mr. O'Donell was imprisoned and suspended from the chair by the Provincial Board, which appointed Fray José Calazariz Centeno as his substitute. Released shortly after, he continued in it until being replaced by Dr. Bedoya in 1816. The matter to which the documents we are publishing today refer, it has not been possible for us to find out what purpose it had, either because the documents do not exist, or because the vicissitudes of a turbulent time took away the consideration of those who should have resolved it. En el año 1808 el doctor D. Gregorio Funes fundó, con debida autorización, una cátedra de aritmética, algebra y geometría, dotándola con la suma de quinientos pesos anuales de su patrimonio. El propósito del ilustre benefactor fue dar a las ciencias matemáticas un puesto de honor en la enseñanza de la Universidad, al lado de las disciplinas tradicionales. Las nuevas ideas pedagógicas que el Doctor Funes trajo de España fueron parte principal de esta útil y plausible innovación, que debe ser considerada como un eco de aquel movimiento fundamental del siglo XVIII que tendía al entronizamiento de las ciencias exactas y naturales y de una filosofía fundada en ellas. El aula de matemáticas se inauguró el dia de ceniza del año 1809 siendo su primer titular el Sr. Carlos O'Donell cuya competencia y empeño díó a la enseñanza considerable crédito. El Sr. O'Donell fué en 1811 constituido en prisión y suspendido de la cátedra por la Junta Provincial la cual nombró suplente  a Fray José Calazariz Centeno. Puesto en libertad poco tiempo después, continuó en ella hasta ser reemplazado por el Dr. Bedoya en 1816. El asunto a que los documentos que hoy publicamos se refieren, no nos ha sido posible averiguar que fin tuvo, sea que los documentos no existan, o sea que las vísisitudes de una época agitada apartaran su consideración de quienes debieron resolverlo.
