Sumario:Throughout the first decades of 20th century different scholars will be insist on the importance of students’ training and educating as a strategy to define and institutionalize the spaces of scientific practices. In order to analyze this process in the Argentinean anthropological context will consider the first physical anthropology dissertations submitted at the national universities of Buenos Aires and La Plata, supervised by the German anthropologist Robert LehmannNitsche (1872-1938). The examination of these materials, together with Lehmann-Nitsche’s private letters, allow us to propose the absence of a systematic plan in order to institutionalize and professionalize the anthropological practices. Finally we consider the personal reasons that lead to Lehmann-Nitsche to supervise these dissertations, among them professional visibility and protection of the obtained social and academic prestige.
