The work at hand focuses on the reconstruction of student sociabilities at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) between 1917-1921. It aims to inquire into the implementation of the University Reform and the effect it had on the capital's collegial student body, which concentrated more than half of the universitary population in the country. To achieve this purpose, the present paper will resort to analyzing publications written by left-wing reformists who, by means of their reviews, interpellated university youths to reformulate their practices, their ways of associating, and to socialize a new student profile.

For several years historians have been interested in the value of images as a whole, and of photographs in particular, as an historic source. There is no doubt that photographs are an important historic witness in order to reconstruct aspects of history, but this fact does not impede their use giving rise to controversy, especially concerning the methodological treatment that should be applied to these sources, and the relationship that should be established with other sources. The use and exploitation of photographs as historical sources requires -as with any other historical source- careful critical analysis and rigorous methodology which as yet is not as consolidated as what has been used for centuries with other sources. In this article we aim to approach the study of the images which in the nineteen twenties were generated by the school colonies of the Balearic Islands Provincial Council. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
