Engineering) in
1896. This was the flourishing of
higher education in
Rio Grande do Sul, and still in the end of the
19th century, there were founded the

1947, when it became
Universidade do Rio Grande do Sul (University of Rio Grande do Sul) - URGS -, merging with the Law and Dentistry Colleges from
