During the XIX century along the consolidation of the Chilean Republic, there existed a clash of ideas between seculars and who represented the teaching state and catholic groups, who defended the liberty of teaching. As a result of the ideas of these two groups there were born the two most important universities in the country. The ‘Universidad de Chile’ and the ‘Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile’. In this paper there are exposed the origin of both universities.
