He received a Bachelor of Science Degree from Melbourne University, and then a teaching qualification (Dip.Ed) from the same establishment, and taught Science in secondary schools in Melbourne, later moving to London and working as a supply teacher for several months, prior to entering the Psychological profession. He gained his qualifications in Clinical Psychology in London, specialising in Adult and Adolescent Psychology.

He next moved to Cardiff in 1979 where he became the Principal Therapist at the Family Institute. This was a pioneering organisation, funded by Barnardo's, which as well as providing treatment for families, was also a major training organisation, and involved in research.<mask> was particularly interested in helping families stay together, and when not possible, providing the circumstance under which the least damage would be done to the family members. Together with his colleagues including Brian Cade, Peter Hudson, Bebe Speed, Phillipa Seligman and Harvey Jones, he developed techniques for helping families become 'unstuck', when they continued to repeat the same negative stereotypic behaviour, which was very destructive to the family process. Techniques were developed within the framework of the 'Brief Therapy, Strategic Movement', as well as Family Systems Therapy to help release the family from these negative patterns. After a period in Hong Kong, dealing with expatriate stress and general psychological disorders, <mask> returned in 1988 to private practice in London and the West Country, the former being mainly in the Harley Street area, working with some outstanding psychiatrists and psychologists, such as Denis Friedman, Lewis Clein, Gerald Woolfson, Robert Sharpeand and John Adams, on a wide range of psychological disorders. With long experience in a variety of settings dealing with mental disorders, there is probably no psychological disorder that <mask> has not been involved with. In addition he has worked in a more medical area using psychological approaches. These have included working with the Harley Street dermatologist Dr David Fenton on patients with skin and hair conditions where there may be some element of psychological difficulties in either dealing with an unwanted

 to the Fourth Marine Division during the battle of Namur Island, Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands, on February 1–2, 1944. Putting up a brave defense against a particularly violent counterattack by the enemy during invasion operations, Private <mask> and five other Marines occupying a shellhole were endangered by a Japanese grenade thrown into their midst. Unhesitatingly, and with complete disregard for his own safety, Private <mask> hurled himself upon the deadly weapon, heroically taking the full impact of the explosion. As a result of his gallant action, he was severely wounded, but the lives of his comrades were saved.His great personal valor and exceptional spirit of self-sacrifice in the face of almost certain death were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service. /S/ FRANKLIN D.

 in Tottenham Hale. <mask> was also instructed in the inquest into Duggan's death. He prosecuted members of the GAS (Guns And Shanks) gang from Brixton who were charged with joint enterprise murder in a case of "vicious, shocking and sickening case of gang violence outside a school at a time when pupils and staff were gathering at the start of a school day", as well as Ben Hitchcock's murderers, whose actions were described as "the direct result of what was a pitched battle between rival gangs." Co-defendant Royston Thomas was found not guilty after police detectives relaunched an investigation into the stabbing of 16-year-old Ben Hitchcock. He prosecuted David Jeffs known as the "Mayfair socialite murder", child killer Ben Butler, hitman Jamie Marsh-Smith who was found guilty of murdering a gang boss, and MI5 official Katharine Gun in a widely publicised case involving MI5 and GCHQ.R v Jogee

In February 2016, <mask> was interviewed by The Lawyer magazine to analyse R v Jogee that reversed previous case law on joint enterprise murder, after a recent Supreme Court ruling indicating that it was not right that a person could be convicted of murder and subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment if they foresaw the murder could take place but did not deliver the fatal blow. <mask> commented: "It has always been the case that a person who intentionally assists another in a joint crime will be as guilty as the person who physically commits that crime. After the Chan Wing-Siu ruling in 1985, juries have since been directed that if a secondary party foresaw that the principal party might use a knife, for example, with intent to cause harm or murder, then they are guilty of murder as well." <mask> also commented that the judgment in R v Jogee and Ruddock v The Queen will have a significant effect on the prosecution of multi-handed crime, and in particular cases of multi-handed serious violence that sometimes results in death. It will also result

The court heard that on 5 April 2016, Suminaite left work early saying she had "big problems" and gave birth in the bathroom at home, with her partner in another room. Her partner found Suminaite lying naked in the bathroom surrounded by blood and a baby bath full of what appeared to be clothes. Jurors at the Old Bailey heard that Suminaite was bleeding and pale when found by her boyfriend who eventually called an ambulance after she confessed what had happened. The court heard that the child lay undiscovered as medics initially did not spot the body in the baby bath and the couple did not mention it. Suminaite was subsequently treated in hospital for significant blood loss and injury from childbirth. Following her arrest, Suminaite said she strangled her baby with her lingerie, but did not know why.She described giving birth quickly and easily and said the baby was moving and trying to cry. Suminaite told the jury she cut the umbilical cord with a razor then passed out in the bath. When she came to pick the baby up, she said the baby was not moving and she tied a pair of her knickers around her neck and put her in the baby bath. She said she did not know why she did it as she had no mental problems. Emergency services were called to her home on Aldwick Road in Bognor. At the hearing, Mr Justice Nicol said that Suminaite's circumstances were "tragic in themselves".

 Marshall
In August 2017, <mask> prosecuted male escort Jason Marshall who murdered his client Peter Fasoli who he met in December 2012 through the social networking site Badoo, where he advertised his services under his "working" name "Gabriel". Marshal, who pretended to be an MI6 agent, was filmed by a computer repairman Peter Fasolli who he murdered in a bondage sex session after which he tried to kill another man while on the run in Italy. Marshall was arrested after the Fasoli's relative found hidden footage of killing on his laptop. Peter Fasoli, a 58-year-old IT expert, who lived in a bungalow located near RAF Northolt was terrorised and murdered in 2013 at his own house by Marshall who was called over for an hour of a bondage sex session. On the opening day of his trial at the Old Bailey, Marshall was described as a "calculating and determined" killer.The court heard that during sexual roleplay, Marshall stripped the victim and arrested him for "being a spy" and hacking into a government laptop, the court heard. Fasoli was threatened with a knife and forced to hand over his cash card pin numbers. The footage shower Marshall, 28, calmly standing over the body of his client Peter Fasoli and signing "in the name of the father, the son and the Holy Ghost" in Latin, after killing him. Marshall subsequently set fire to Fasoli's home in attempt to make Fasoli's death look like an accident. But two years later when Fasoli's nephew was sorting through his belongings, he was horrified to discover a computer file containing CCTV footage of the entire event. The court heard how Marshall, who denied murder, first got in contact with Peter Fasoli in December 2012 through social networking site Badoo, inviting to set up a treesome and inventing the persona of a policeman. Prosecuting, Mr <mask> told jurors:

The Old Baily heard that Marshall arrived at the Fasoli's home at around 7pm on 6 January 2012, pretending to be a police officer kitted

After Marshall fled the scene, he sent a "calculated and cynical" message to Fasoli on the Badoo chat line apologising for not seeing him the night before. He withdrew £750 in cash from the Fasoli's bank account and used his card to buy a flight to Rome. In February 2016 Marshal was arrested in Italy and extradited to United Kingdom to face trial for murder of Fasoli he committed four years ago. A Metropolitan Police spokesman commented:
The court has heard that Fasoli accidentally filmed his own bondage sex session murder at the hands of Jason Marshall dressed as policeman. Jurors at the Old Bailey watched footage of Fasoli begging for his life as he was attacked by fantasist Marshall while classical music played in the background. Camera footage showed Fasioli becoming visibly distressed as he was gagged and bound on his bed.He was threatened with a large hunting knife and forced to hand over his cash card pin numbers, the court heard. Prosecuting, <mask> told the jury:

The court heard that during psychological evaluation Marshall told the psychiatrists that he is an incarnation of Archangel Gabriel and stated "You can’t judge me, only God can judge me." In September 2017 Jason Marshall was imprisoned for 39 years for the murder of Peter Fasoli. He  has previously been convicted in the UK of impersonating MI5 and transport police officials while carrying out searches and of issuing fines on the Tube. SFO

Although <mask> was not among the half dozen attorneys general negotiating directly with tobacco industry – Washington state's Christine Gregoire, now governor, was one of them – Oregon received a larger share of the 1998 national tobacco settlement than most other states as a result of the amount of legal work it had done to advance the case. <mask> believes one of the most important points in the settlement had nothing to do with the $246 billion payout that tobacco companies will make to the states during 25 years. It has to do with new restrictions on the marketing of tobacco to teenagers, who are most likely to continue smoking if they start when they are young.

By 2000, she had sold the "opulent" Grand Palace Restaurant in San Francisco's Chinatown.In 2000, when the Hearst Corporation was facing antitrust concerns (including from Fang) over its acquisition of the San Francisco Chronicle, she acquired the San Francisco Examiner from them for $100 while also receiving a $66 million subsidy from Hearst to run the Examiner for three years, becoming the first Asian American to own a major daily newspaper in the US. In 2004, she sold it to Philip Anschutz for $11 million. In 2008, Forbes reported that the Internal Revenue Service claimed that the <mask> family had understated taxable income by $31 million in the years up to 2002. <mask>, her two sons and her dead son's estate launched four counter-claims.

The Florence Fang Asian Community Garden (FFACG) opened in 2014 in San Francisco's Bayview-Hunters Point neighborhood, on land owned by Caltrain.U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi led the ground breaking ceremonies. FFACG sits on the land of the former DeMattei farm, San Francisco's last commercial farm, which had been operating as late as 1988. WWII Pacific War Memorial Hall
<mask> initiated the WWII Pacific War Memorial Hall, a two-story museum in San Francisco's Chinatown inaugurated in 2015 on the 70th anniversary of the surrender of Japan that marked the end of World War II. The historian Denise Y. Ho described it as an example of how museums "play an important role in 'telling China's story well' for global audiences," and as "look[ing] remarkably like a Chinese museum, featuring a sculpture 'Great Wall of Blood and Flesh' that evokes the Chinese national anthem." After closing for 16 months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the museum reopened in 2021 with a new exhibition focusing on the collaboration of the US and China against Japan during World War II, which <mask> called "our [countries'] lasting memory" in a speech at the reopening ceremony.

In 2019, the city of Hillsborough sued <mask> for causing a public nuisance, and because her changes were largely without permits. <mask> engaged lawyers and made counter-claims for violating her First Amendment rights, discrimination and emotional distress. The city's lawsuit was settled in 2021 with <mask> receiving $125,000 to cover her expenses from the suit and the right to retain all modifications made, while agreeing to drop her countersuit about racial discrimination. Personal life
In 1960, she married John Ta Chuan <mask>. They had three sons.Their eldest son James was a BART board member for 24 years until 2015, at which point he was described as "the last Republican holding office in San Francisco." As of 2000, their second son Ted was publisher of the San Francisco Independent, and their youngest son, Douglas, earned a doctorate in computer science. <mask> died in 2020 due to natural causes. <mask> died from stomach cancer in 2003. John Ta Chuan <mask> died in 1992. References

McClatchy, William Matthews. <mask>’s four collections are sweeps of philosophical idylls, much in the tradition of Theocritus…a poet the author himself evokes from time to time. In the Anglo-Saxon tradition, the stance of the poet is that of an observant pilgrim traveling through the world. Beneath the hungers, urgencies, iniquities, and bereavements, there is a legacy—an inheritance beneath the artful ponderings of the found and the made.The poems range widely in style and subject:  soliloquies, laments, eccentric ponderings and contemplations of the physical and the sublime. Histories meld into considerations of the future. In "Tin Can Tourist," <mask>’s first book, the poems move out from the plains of Texas to the streets of the Bronx; from the bedroom to the Spanish Steps of Rome and the Chora Church of Istanbul… and back. The poems move through cultural highs and lows. Of the book, Marie Ponsot wrote, "The most exciting quality of <mask>’s work is its poetic and paradoxical unifying of emotional and intellectual depth with a marvelous quietness. Its lively incidents and anecdotes are grounded, rooted, in meditative awareness." In "Natural Trouble," the theme of inheritance extends through changes of landscape and bad weather.The poet weaves through the guises of nature and the guises of art. There is a celebration of the physical world as a realm strewn with natural wonders and artifacts. But with a Blakeian quality, there is a celebration of insight and darker realms of meaning.

McClatchy wrote: "<mask> has Marianne Moore’s scissors and Elizabeth Bishop’s spectacles and he has written a book in the spirit of their adventurous precisions."<mask>’s third book, "Part of the Bargain," received the 2004 Copper Canyon Press Hayden Carruth Award. In it, <mask> explores the reconciliations that make one an individual, a part of a community, and as conscientious heir to a culture. Valences of biology, sexuality, nationality, literality, all swirl together and perform a balancing act. Operas and paintings of windows are the reflections of an "ineffable pageantry" of a multilayered life. Polio underwrites AIDS. Sometimes there is the failure of love, harshness and "the failure of the human spirit." Sometimes love is successful in holding things together––not so much in a noble way as in an elemental way.The epigraph of the book is from Faust: "Behold how in the evening sunset-glow The green-encircled hamlets glitter." Sometimes things are cut apart. Sometimes parts are held together. "Self-evident" radicals, revolutionaries, and exiles find their way––through self-possession––out of the past and into <mask>’s poetry. <mask> departs from a notion that the practice of writing is at the elemental core of democracy.

texts:
was a Japanese organic chemist. One of the most prolific chemists of the 20th century in the field of organic synthesis, <mask> helped establish the field of organic chemistry in Japan after World War II. Education
<mask> studied chemistry at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, earning his BSc in synthetic organic chemistry in 1948. He became assistant professor at Gakushuin University in 1953, where he stayed until he received his Ph.D. in synthetic organic chemistry from the University of Tokyo in 1957. Research and career

Early work
<mask> became an assistant professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1958 and earned his full professorship in 1963. During this time, his main focus was on organophosphorus chemistry. While examining deoxygenation reactions involving phosphines, <mask> found that the mercury(II) acetate employed as a catalyst would react with phosphorus(III) compounds to produce acetic anhydride.This initial example expanded into the concept of the redox condensation reaction, in which a weak acid and weak base catalyze a condensation by means of a redox reaction – this would become a primary research focus for <mask> for much of his career. In the original reaction, the phosphine served as the reducing agent by accepting oxygen, while the mercury(II) was the oxidation agent that accepted hydrogens, resulting in the condensation of carboxylic acids with the loss of a molecule of water. This framework was expanded to include the formation of a variety of other functional groups, including esters and amides, but the most significant was the synthesis of

 phosphoric esters using DEAD and an alcohol in 1967. The same year that paper was published, <mask>'s co-author and former student Oyo Mitsunobu attacked the products of the reaction with a carboxylic acid in the presence of triphenylphosphine to yield an ester, creating what is now known as the Mitsunobu reaction. Modifications to the aldol reaction
The aldol reaction is an essential tool for synthetic chemists. At its simplest, the aldol reaction involves two carbonyl compounds which join, forming a carbon-carbon bond. Depending on whether it is performed in acidic or basic conditions, the reaction proceeds by one of the carbonyls attacking the other, which has tautomerized into either an enol or enolate.However, when both carbonyls are similar in pKa they may both function as either the nucleophile or the electrophile, meaning the reaction may form either cross-products or self-products. While investigating sulfur-boron compounds in 1971, <mask> reported that the reaction of ketene with thioboronite produced a beta-hydroxyalkanethioate via a vinyloxyborane intermediate that would perform an aldol reaction with formaldehyde leftover from the synthesis of ketene. These vinyloxyboranes proved straightforward to synthesize directly from the desired ketones using DBBT, which has a more electron-withdrawing triflate group in place of the sulfur. Boron enolates provide an alternative to metal enolates for performing cross-aldol reactions. As an extension of his earlier research with trivalent phosphorus as an oxygen acceptor, <mask> began to examine the role of metallic catalysts

texts: for the dehydrative Friedel-Crafts alkylation and in particular titanium(IV) tetrachloride. In 1973, he reported that titanium(IV) chloride treated with zinc powder catalyzed a pinacol coupling of carbonyls in THF which formed an alkene after reflux with 1,4-dioxane. This is what is now known as the McMurry reaction - McMurry published a year later and cited both <mask> and the group of Tyrlik in Poland in his paper, but Japan's position in the international organic chemistry community was not yet fully developed and the naming persists.Mukaiyama again turned to titanium(IV) chloride while seeking an appropriate Lewis acid to activate aldehydes for reaction with silyl enol ethers in what became known as the Mukaiyama aldol reaction. Published in 1973 as Mukaiyama was in the process of migrating to the University of Tokyo, it is a cross-aldol reaction between a silyl enol ether (typically derived from a carbonyl of choice using the method of Stork) and an aldehyde of choice in the presence of a Lewis acid like titanium(IV) chloride. The reaction is a landmark case on how activating aldehydes can allow even electronically neutral and weakly nucleophilic compounds like silyl enol ethers to be used as reagents. A Lewis acid must be added to use silyl enol ethers but not boron enolates because boron has an empty orbital but silicon does not, allowing boron to act as an electron acceptor. Tin(II) goes a step further by having multiple empty orbitals, allowing it to coordinate chiral ligands and induce enantioselectivity. In 1982 Mukaiyama showed that tin(II) enolates formed from


title: Teruaki Mukaiyama

texts:
 tin(II) triflate could produce aldol products that were over 95% stereospecific. In a time when asymmetric reactions largely relied on chiral auxiliaries to be covalently bound to the reactants, tin(II) enolates formed from chiral diamine ligands derived from L-proline could achieve over 90% ee.Namesake reagent
In 1975, <mask> reported that N-methyl-2-chloropyridinium iodide (also called 2-chloro-1-methylpyridinium iodide) allowed for a dehydration condensation between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol or similar functional groups to form an ester linkage. In the initial stage of the process, the carboxyl displaces the halogen atom on the reagent in the presence of a base. The resulting pyridyl ester is an activated electrophile and also serves as a good leaving group in a subsequent nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction with the alcohol reactant as nucleophile. Thus, the family of 2-halo-N-alkylpyridinium salts are named the Mukaiyama reagents. The reaction gives low yields if there are sterically large groups adjacent to the site of the reaction, such as tertiary carbons, but can be improved by using bromine as the halogen. In the years since its discovery, a number of different onium salts of aza-arenes have been used to catalyze a number of different dehydration reactions, including a macrolactonization. In 1994, Isamu Shiina developed his namesake macrolactonization in the Mukaiyama lab, making use of an aromatic carboxylic acid anhydride in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst.Taxol synthesis
In the early 1990s, at least thirty separate groups were working on the

texts: total synthesis of the chemotherapy medicine paclitaxel (Taxol), culminating with the groups of Robert A. Holton and K. C. Nicolaou publishing nearly simultaneously in 1994. By then, <mask> had retired from the University of Tokyo after reaching the mandatory age of 60 and set up an academic lab at the Tokyo University of Science. The Mukaiyama taxol total synthesis was published between the years of 1997 and 1999 after five years of research, making the Mukaiyama lab the sixth group to report results. This total synthesis is largely a linear synthesis which forms the four rings of taxol in the order C, B, A, D. It is differentiated from the others from its use of L-serine as a starting material and for being the only total synthesis not to use the Ojima lactam to create the amide tail. Instead, the tail is created from scratch by converting benzyloxyacetic acid into a silyl enol ether, joining it with benzaldehyde with a Mukaiyama aldol addition, and creating the amide from the alcohol via a Mitsunobu reaction followed by benzolyation. The synthesis also made use of three Swern oxidations during the synthesis of the C ring. This reaction is typically performed at very low temperatures (< -50 °C) to stabilize its activated DMSO intermediate and constantly evolves the strong-smelling DMS, making it very difficult to work with at large scales.The difficulties encountered during their total synthesis prompted <mask> to pursue an alternative method, and in 2001 a room-temperature oxidation involving N-chlorosuccinimide and a catalytic amount of N-t-butylbenzenesulfenamide was

The more electronegative nitrogen adjacent to the sulfur in the sulfenamide increased the stability of the intermediate relative to that formed from the sulfur-carbon bond of DMSO and was inspired by his earlier work with sulfenamides while still at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. <mask> had a scientific career spanning over sixty years, during which he published over 900 papers. After its founding in 1972, <mask> only published in the Japanese journal Chemistry Letters, citing a belief that "the results of one's chemistry should be published in journals of one's country." The combination of the high quality of his work and the over 600 papers that he published in Chemistry Letters played an important role in its spread to other nations. A total of 145 people earned their doctorates under Mukaiyama, with 54 eventually becoming professors in various institutions. Honors and awards
<mask> has been recognized for his achievements in the form of seven honorary degrees and membership in the national academies of four nations.He is the namesake of the Mukaiyama Award, awarded by the Society of Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Japan since 2005. His major awards include:

<mask> (3 May 1860 – 9 October 1936) was an Argentine psychiatrist, philosopher, reformist and politician. For eighteen years, he was the director of the psychiatry hospital in Melchor Romero (a locality of La Plata in Buenos Aires). He was the first university official in Latin America  to be elected thanks to the student's vote. He is considered to be the pioneer of Argentine philosophy. Along with Florentino Ameghino, Juan Vucetich, Almafuerte and Carlos Spegazzini, he is considered to be one of the five wise men of La Plata. Biography

Childhood, youth and family
<mask> was born in San Vicente, Buenos Aires. His father, <mask>, was a liberal German-Prussian doctor and soldier, who had refused to take part in the repression that followed the worker's strike in the textile sector during the Social Revolution in 1848.Sentenced to death, he fled to Switzerland on horseback. There, he studied Medicine and  met his future wife, María Verena Meyer. He decided to migrate to Argentina, and there they got married. He settled down in San Vicente (Buenos Aires), where he worked as a doctor and a judge. He promoted the construction of the first flour mill and the lengthening of the railroad tracks to reach the city. He distinguished for his remarkable work fighting the cholera epidemics, and, for that reason, he was awarded by the president Domingo F. Sarmiento. When he died, in 1905, the city of San Vicente paid him homage.<mask> was the eldest of eight siblings. His only brother, Mauricio, would also become a doctor. In his youth, <mask> showed an interest in culture and sport. In 1877 he settled down in Buenos Aires to study, first at the Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires and later at the Universidad de Buenos Aires's College of Medicine. Afterwards, he met and married María Villafañe, and settled in La Plata. They had seven children, four of which survived childhood. One of them, <mask> Villafañe, was instrumental in the University Reform and is distinguished for

 his insights into catholic doctrine and his teaching position at the modern Escuela de La Plata.His other son, <mask>, was a left-wing reformer and student leader, journalist, leader of the Socialist Party and national deputy, as well as a playwright and the founder of the Teatro del Pueblo in La Plata. Doctor
He graduated in 1882, with his thesis Locura y crimen (“Insanity and crime”). He worked in the small towns of Navarro and Ranchos, where he was living at the time. In 1888 he was appointed to police doctor. In 1897 he was appointed to director of the Hospital Provincial de Melchor Romero, a hospital-colony with a surface of 80 hectares (which he would afterwards increase to 180 hectares), designed by his lodge mate Pedro Benoit, placed 10 kilometers away from La Plata city, where Benoit lived. It was inaugurated as a hospital in 1884, but then it specialized in treating mental diseases. It was the first hospital of its kind in Argentine, and, probably, in Latin America.<mask> acted as director of Melchor Romero Hospital until 1916, when he resigned from the title in order to devote all his time and energies to philosophy. From 1900 onwards, his brother Mauricia <mask> also worked there. In 1910 he founded the Medical Association of La Plata where he acted as its president. Freemason
<mask> entered in the Argentine Freemasonry on 15 June 1881, aged 21, in the Germania Nº 19 lodge. His father had entered the same lodge in Germany, and was a long-standing and  influential member, who had in fact helped his lodge establish in Argentina, with the help of his Freemason Brothers in the country. When he was 23 years old, <mask> was appointed to Venerable Maestro (“Venerable Master”) of his lodge. Later, he entered the La Plata Nº 80 lodge, which included other influential inhabitants of La Plata such as Carlos Spegazzini and Pedro Benoit.Politician

 Revolution, he was appointed by the Revolutionary Junta to La Plata's Intendant, a title that he held for some days until the defeat of the Revolution. In 1894, he was elected as a deputy of the UCR. He resigned from the title in 1897, to express his disapproval of a series of acts of corruption in the “Banco Hipotecario”, in which several other members he knew where involved. In 1917 he was elected as a deputy of La Plata again as part of UCR, and he opted to the title of national deputy in 1918. In that year, he left the UCR, embraced the socialist beliefs and wrote Socialismo ético (“Ethical socialism”) and Incipit Vita Nova:

The new philosophy will liberate us from the nightmare of mechanic automatism, and will give us back the dignity of our conscious free personality, free and master of its own destiny…If we want a better world, we will build it… Socialism itself, beyond Marx’s well-known theorem, asks for solidarity, that is to say, a theoretical feeling. In 1931 he entered the Socialist Party (Argentina). In 1934  he gave a much-praised  series of lectures in the “Casa del Pueblo de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires” (“Buenos Aires’s People’s House”).The lectures were titled Jean Jaurés, Hegel y Marx (“Hegel and Marx”), and Antimarx, and were published by the Revista Socialista (“Socialist magazine”) in February 1935. In 1934 he was elected to be a “convencional constituyente” to help rewrite the Constitution of the Buenos Aires Province, but he resigned from that title as a protest for the fraud that the government had committed in those elections, as did Alfredo Palacios and his son <mask>. University Reformist
<mask> was not only a teacher, but a high-level official in La Plata's and Buenos Aires's Universities as well. He was also involved in the students’ reformist movement. In fact, both of his sons were leaders of students’ groups, though different ones. In 1903 he entered in the National University of La Plata as councillor and vice-rector, when it

From that moment, he was the associate professor of the History of Philosophy Cathedra.The Obstetrics School was created thanks to his initiative. In 1919, in a moment of social unrest, the students’ movement chose him to be responsible for the university, together with Carlos Spegazzini and Edelmiro Calvo. In 1906 he entered as a teacher of the History of Philosophy Cathedra in Buenos Aires's University's Philosophy Faculty. In 1912 he was elected Faculty councillor, a title he held until 1918. That year, with the University Reform as background, he was elected dean by the students of the Philosophy Faculty in the University of Buenos Aires, a title he held until 1921. In 1918, <mask> was one of the professors, together with José Ingenieros, Alfredo Palacios and José Vasconcelos, to be taken as a model by the students’ organization that promoted the University Reform throughout Latin America. Unlike the situation in Cordoba, where the movement was basically antischolastic, La Plata's reformism was marked by a strong antipositivism because clericalism was almost completely inexistent in La Plata.This antipositivistic reaction was guided by <mask>. Between 1919 and 1922, he wrote several articles about the impact of the University Reform in the cultural renovation of Latin America. His most remarkable work, La Libertad creadora (“The creative freedom”) was written as a request from the “Centro de Estudiantes”, a Buenos Aires Law Student's Association, to be published in their magazine Verbum, in order to give basis to the transforming activities in which the reformist youth was embarked upon. It was written under the concepts that inspired his vision of an “ethical socialism”. The former Guatemala president Juan José Arévalo, former pupil of <mask> in National University of La Plata defined him as the professor par excellence.

Those aspects had also an important role in the agitated public debates in which <mask> participated.Ahead of his time, following educationalist concepts that would be universally acknowledged in the 1950s, he remarked the need of make the student, as an active and creative subject, the center of the educationalist process. In La Reforma Universitaria (1919), he wrote:
The Reform is a dynamic process, and its purpose is creating a new University spirit and giving the University back its lost prestige, being conscious of its mission and dignity. In order to attain so, the student’s participation in the University’s government is essential. They, and only they, represent the propulsion force, the efficient action, capable of moving inertia and avoid stagnation. Without them, nothing has been done, and nothing would have been done. The way in which they must intervene, that’s a secondary issue; the important thing is to make sure that they constitute such  a power, that nothing will be done without it. We have announced the advent of an intense ethical and aesthetical culture, purely Argentine, noble because of its yearning of social justice; a culture meant to exceed, without harming Science, an intellectualist and utilitarianist age.It is pleasing to observe the youth looking for the light of new ideals through different paths. A free cathedra surrounded by free students, who own and are responsible for their acts, will contribute towards forging the national character in a better way than the wordy tutelage of those who never even had strength of character themselves.
