History. Established in 1873 by the conversion of the newly formed 

 faculty of sciences of the University of Cordova into a separately 

 organized institution. The appointment of the Rector of the Univer- 

 sity as Director of the Academy in 1875 brought the two institu- 

 tions into closer relations and in 1876 the faculty of sciences was 

 incorporated in the University. In 1878 the Academy was organized 

 on an independent basis, the members of the faculty of sciences 

 forming its Comision directiva. It is maintained by the national gov- 

 ernment.
