BRIEF HISTORICAL REVIEW OF THE HEROIC MILITARY COLLEGE.

“The antecedent of a School with military instruction in Mexican territory is


considered from the Mexica culture, where education and war were kept
together, military training was traditional, in Calmecac the men who would
dedicate themselves to military service were educated. military science,
mainly to the children of the lords and in Tepochcalli, the warriors, common
people of the town, were trained. Once the conquest by the Spanish Army
was consummated and the political-military administration in the new Spain
was consolidated, the Regulations for the New Spain Artillery were created,
dating from 1765, which establishes: “for the instruction of officers and
troops of that body , a practical artillery school in Veracruz and another in
Mexico, according to the method that was followed in Spain”, an order that
remained in the project without being carried out.
Until the end of the 18th century, in accordance with the policy followed by
the peninsular government, in the viceroyalty of New Spain, Creoles and
mestizos were not allowed to occupy officer positions, including the highest
hierarchies in the Army, much less were they allowed to Young mestizos
served within the Army in the class of "Cadets", a category assigned to
aspiring officers.
These were the bases for the Spanish Brigadier Diego García Conde to
propose to the Viceregal government in 1817, the creation of a School so
that cadets could receive uniform teaching of all the knowledge necessary
for the profession of arms.
The idea and proposal began to crystallize at the same time that the
Mexican independence movement was consummated; García Conde was
appointed General Director of the Corps of Engineers and immediately
proposed the creation of a Military College to train officers for all arms of the
Army.
In February 1822, when Agustín de Iturbide was Emperor, the academy
was finally installed provisionally in “La Casa Chata”, a building previously
occupied by the court of the Holy Inquisition and as its first director by
General Brigadier Don Diego García Conde, who with His determination
and perseverance made it survive, although in an ephemeral manner, since
the need for a Preparation School in Military Culture, with National
Idiosyncrasy, was already an urgent fact, which should merge with the
ethnic and historical values of the Mexican tradition, heritage of the Tlatoani
Cuitlahuac; that of Father Hidalgo and that of the Generalissimo Don José
María Morelos.
The first name that said school received was "Cadet Academy"; The
subjects of the curriculum being: drawing, mathematics, infinitesimal
calculus and training. The first seniority was made up of 16 students from
an original company of 80.
In September 1823, the last redoubt of the Spanish Garrison was fortified in

1
2
San Juan de Ulúa. Due to this, General Guadalupe Victoria ordered the
siege of the square and, realizing that the wait would be long and difficult,
proposed to the Government General to gather all the Cadets in the Army
Corps and send them to the Castle of San Carlos de Perote to receive their
Military Education there, so on October 11, 1823, General José Joaquín
Herrera, Minister of war and navy, ordered the transfer of the academy from
this building to the fortress of San Carlos de Perote, which was called
“Perote Military College”, dependent on the General Command of Veracruz.
A few years passed and the College moved to the Capital in 1828, settling
in the old Bethlemites convent. On November 30 of the same year, the
Cadets of the Military College supported the government formed by General
Guadalupe Victoria, fighting rebellious troops in Mexico City; This
movement was known as “the agreed mutiny.” Later, in 1837, it would move
to the building of the "Convent of the Recollections", a building that was
located on Cacahuatal Street, currently Calle Escuela Médico Militar,
between Pino Suárez and Fray Servando Teresa de Mier avenues, where it
remained until 1841, site in who would experience his first act of arms.
It was the early morning of July 15, 1840, when the first president, General
of Division Anastasio Bustamante, was imprisoned as a result of the riot by
Brigadier General José Urrea, who spoke out against the Central
Government, leading to a combat in the building of the citadel, close to the
one of the collected ones, where the Cadets fought the insurrectionists, on
the day of July 15 to 26, 1840, Cadet Juan Rico, who was only 15 years
old, perished in the first encounter. .
The students remained in the citadel during the 12 days that the actions
lasted, fulfilling their duties exactly, for which they were awarded a
decoration presented by the General President himself, Don Anastasio
Bustamante.
A new change of facilities was considered, since previously General Manuel
Gómez Pedraza had declared in 1832: "...in this type of school there is no
room for mediocre, it is necessary to aspire to perfection; near the capital,
there is a building , whose premises invite to erect a high school, which
gives honor to the nation...", Gómez Pedraza was referring to the
Chapultepec fortress, where the institution was transferred.
Chapultepec would be witness and scene of the most significant and
patriotic feat that the young Mexican cadets would have experienced.
With the pretext, apparently, of the lack of clarity to establish limits of the
Mexico-North American border, the United States of America decided on
the cunning armed intervention. The invasion of our country began in March
1846.
In September 1847, the Americans had arrived in the Valley of Mexico; The
only defense that remained in those days was the Cerro de Chapultepec,
headquarters of the Military College; Under the command of the Division
General, Don Nicolás Bravo, with 823 defenders and a few Cadets, the

1
3
Defense was organized.
General José Mariano Monterde, Director of the Military College, directed
the construction of the Chapultepec fortifications and the Tacubaya line and
was named Chief of the Defense line from Chapultepec to Mexicalcingo.
The young cadets, aware of their duty, prepared to defend the interests of
the country, after the fall of "Molino del Rey" on September 8, 1847.
General Xicoténcatl would address a message to the cadets:
“…No help will come, nor any help. But you, as cadets of this military
squad, have to support you: the bastion of your own greatness. Sacrifice for
your country demands it from you to die standing. And it is little for the
defense of the country and its freedom..."
Vicente Suárez, 17 years old, fell on the lookout at the viewpoint; Agustín
Melgar, 18, wounded at the same viewpoint, was later taken to the College
library where he died the next day; Fernando Montes de Oca and Francisco
Márquez, fighting bravely in the parade ground, met their deaths; Juan
Escutia, 16 years old, who served as a sentry, died destroyed on the cliffs
of the hill when he threw himself into the void, wrapping himself in a
national flag so that it would not fall into the power of the invader; In "the
ramp", where the Chapultepec metro is currently located, Lieutenant Juan
de la Barrera died, still considered a student, who, in command of a
fortification, faced the invader.
President Benito Juárez in 1867 would reorganize the Military College,
establishing itself in the Arista barracks, located in the northwest corner of
the National Palace and a little later he stayed in the former convent of
Santa Catalina de Siena (corner of the current streets of San Idelfonso and
Argentina), where it had its official inauguration, later settling in the building
of the former archbishopric of Tacubaya on January 22, 1869, to stay there
until the beginning of 1882, in this same year it would return to the
Chapultepec Castle.
During the tragic decade, which took place in Mexico City in February 1913,
the cadets of the Military College accompanied President Francisco I.
Madero, from Chapultepec Castle to the National Palace, giving one more
example of loyalty to legally constituted institutions.
Remaining in the Chapultepec castle until 1914.
In 1920, the life of the Military College was barely getting back on track
when it was necessary to interrupt classes to escort President Carranza,
who, due to the division of a large part of the army and under pressure from
his enemies, was forced to transfer his government to the Port of Veracruz,
which constituted a new opportunity for the Military College to demonstrate
its indisputable loyalty.
The Hymn of the Heroic Military College was written in 1931 by former
student Engineer Emilio I. Aguilar and music by Professor José Ignacio
Ríos del Río in response to the call made by the Association of the Heroic

Military College. Having been awarded a gold medal.
In 1947, the government of Mr. Miguel Alemán Valdez launched a search
for the remains of the child heroes, which were found by a group of
researchers from the National Institute of Anthropology and History, led by
historian Alfonso Toro. These remains were deposited in the flag room of
the Popotla Military College.
The word heroic denotes an event of historical relevance, in which loyalty,
the spirit of sacrifice and even the loss of life in favor of the country stand
out.
The set of important events resulted in the issuance of a decree signed by
the President of the Republic, Mr. Miguel Alemán Valdez, on December 29,
1949, ordering that the word "Heroic" be placed before the name of the
Military College, as a fair recognition of the samples of value and service
offered to the country during its history. Brigadier General Rafael Ávila
Camacho was then Director of the campus.
Later, on September 13, 1976, this facility was moved and inaugurated, in
the Tlalpan delegation, this “CXC” anniversary coinciding with the
Celebration of the centenary of the creation of the Mexican army.
Likewise, with pleasure and pride we appreciate the presence of former
directors of this heroic team, who yesterday as today served as a guide in
the training of soldiers, in their professional preparation and the highest
military values, ratifying with this noble work the commitment to exalt to our
great nation.
Currently, the Heroic Military College is located in the Tlalpan delegation of
this city, the transfer and inauguration of the new facility took place on
September 13, 1976.
In just a brief story the birth and historical development of the heroic military
college, forger of men of honor, which has been full of glorious deeds, is
narrated.
where many of their children have made the supreme sacrifice to defend
the interests of the country, these events give identity to this school, the
army and our great nation, thus building the history of our country, and
confirming the military principles and values that must be instilled and
practiced at all times in military education establishments...
For the Honor of Mexico!

DESCRIPTION OF THE CAMPUS (SYMBOLOGY).

The architectural complex of the Heroic Military College is reminiscent


of pre-Hispanic ceremonial centers, where open spaces are combined with
those built to form plazas, and several of its buildings represent gods and
ceremonial structures from the pre-Columbian era.
The construction was based on preserving our cultural roots, combining
progress and the current era, taking into account the current needs of the
Army, foreseeing its functionality for the future.
The complex is structured formally and functionally within an anthropomorphic
conception, whose head is the building of
government that dominates both the maneuvering area and the rest of the
complex. In the upper
extremities we have a trunk
axis that
It connects the bedrooms
with the teaching area and
the auditorium. In the center,
like an abdomen, is the
dining room and
the kitchen area, services and machinery. And the terminal part of the lower
extremities, are the sports facilities for physical education, outside this axis and
towards the south are the
services supplementary,
standing out among them who one
stables have
concentric conformation.
Campus administration is located at
the top of the government building or
headquarters. The front part
represents a huge mask of

are formed by two windows that house

throughout the campus. The nose ends in the
meeting room and the mouth leads to the flag
room, the sacred precinct of the Heroic Military
College.

On both sides of the structure there are stands


segmented by six monuments, erected in
honor of the child heroes.

In front of the government building, the


“feathered serpent” Quetzalcoatl materializes,
perpendicular to the government building,
formed by the cadet dining room; the kitchen;
the machine room and the gym, whose
inclined structure represents the open jaws of
the snake in the attitude of drinking water from
two springs.

The small domes on the buildings represent


the scales of the snake and the larger dome of
the cadet dining room symbolizes the
rattlesnake.

The teaching
and
auditorium
buildings, as
a whole,
represent an

The cadet dormitories symbolize six eagles in


a resting position covering their eaglets with
their folded wings represented by the
windows and the ventilation ducts forming the
heads of the eagles, facing them in pairs.

The covered riding arena and the stables


represent a “chimalli” or war shield,
representing the pyramid of cuicuilco,
located in Pedregal de San Ángel, in the
Valley of Mexico, discovered during
excavations carried out in August

1918.

4. When things go wrong.
When things go wrong, as they sometimes do; When you offer your
path you only have to climb; When you have little to have, but a lot to
pay, and you need to smile even when you have to cry;
When the pain overwhelms you and you can no longer suffer, perhaps
you should rest... but never give up!
Behind the shadows of doubt, now silver, now gloomy, triumph may
well follow, not the failure you feared; and it is not possible for your
ignorance to imagine how close the good that you long for and that
you judge so far away may be.
Fight, then, no matter how much you have to suffer in the fight...
When everything is worse, we must insist more!

Rudyard Kipling
