Education and culture are fundamental factors in the association between peoples. Each society makes an immense effort to define and refine their collective personality, trying to seek the greatest integration of what constitutes the national being. Those who achieve this definition and clearly connote their nationality with persevering effort, acquire a sure vocation of openness, comprehension and understanding. We maintain that in Chile this condition existed since the dawn of the Republic and defined an internationalist vocation, in force for most of its historical course. Its international insertion, in objective terms, has transcended the concrete data of its possibilities. It was this vocation of integration which allowed to define the national personality, stimulate its development and be present in the historical and social change of the continent.
