River Plate Adventist University (Universidad Adventista del Plata or UAP) is a university educational institution of the
Seventh-Day Adventist Church that operates in the territory of the Argentina Union Conference (UA). It is located on
25 de Mayo Street, no. 99, in the municipality of Libertador San Martín, Department of Diamante, province of Entre

Ríos, in the Argentine Republic.1
The UAP occupies a geographical area of 330 hectares and the institutional part, the Educational Complex River
Plate, offers early childhood, primary, secondary, and tertiary education through the Primary School Domingo
Faustino Sarmiento, no. 104; River Plate Adventist Academy mid-Level D-4 and River Plate Adventist Academy, Top-
Level D-222. The total number of students was 3,521 in 2018, with 569 at the primary level, 377 at the secondary
level, 156 at the River Plate College, and 2,419 at the university level.
The number of workers in the service at the UAP is 44, and there are employees 977. The number of teachers is 650.
The workers with ministerial credentials are 19 and one with a ministerial license. The UAP has the following mission
statement: “To train competent, ethically responsible professionals who foster and practice love and service to God
and his fellow men, based on the Christian worldview that underpins the Seventh-Day Adventist Church.”2

Developments that Led to the Establishment of the School
The Adventist message arrived in Argentina in South America for the first time through the sending of publications (in
the mid-1880s), then by the arrival of lay missionaries (1890), canvassers (1891), and an ordained pastor (1894).
With the latter taking place, the first churches were organized;3 thereafter, the first educational institutions, medical,
publishing house, and food factory were established.
In 1898, at the end of September on a Monday afternoon before closing down the general meeting of Adventists that
was commonly held every year in Crespo, Entre Rios, American missionary Frank (Francisco) Henry Westphal (1858-
1944) and other members of the Adventist Church perceived that a young man was approaching with a Bible in one
hand and a briefcase in the other. He was Luis Ernst (1874-1952), a young man whom Westphal had met during his
ministry in Nueva Helvecia, Uruguay. Ernst told the missionary that he had come to this meeting convinced that he
would go to study at the school he assumed existed, and then work in Bible studies. To Ernst's disappointment,
Westphal told him that there was no such school or teachers.4
After learning the reason for the young man’s presence on the premises, Pastor Frank, initiating an extraordinary
meeting, presented the young man’s intentions to the members of the Church present. Interested in the matter, the
parishioners, with a favorable attitude, agreed and voted that a missionary academy should be started. Thus, at that
session, the decision that created the academy was taken on Monday, September 26, 1898. In the same way, The
Mission Board met to agree that this was the right time to launch a campaign for the creation of an educational
institution, so they began to ask for donations for this purpose.5 On this same occasion, Brother Jorge Lust (1856-
1929), a farmer, donated 17 hectares of land in Colonia Camarero, Entre Rios, to establish the Academy.6
Meanwhile, Pastor Westphal took responsibility for being the teacher of young Ernst, his first pupil. They both
eventually came to help each other. The young apprentice interpreted from German to Spanish for the pastor during
his many missionary journeys that they carried out together and the pastor, now a teacher, transmitted to the young
man his knowledge in history, grammar, and theology.7

School Foundation
For this institution to emerge where young people would come from different parts of Argentina and South America to
be missionaries, they had to raise money and buy materials. To make this venture happen, they joined with Brother
Lust, others helped with money, others donated hectares of wheat, and Brother Pedro Peverini (1849-1933) offered
to collaborate with the construction. In this way, all the Brothers began to develop the project of school creation that
had the support of Pastor Frank Westphal, leader and president of the Mission of the eastern coast of South America,
at that time.8
Pastor Nelson Zane Town (1863-1936), who had moved to Entre Rios to serve as secretary and treasurer of the
Society of the Mission Treaties,9 during the following year on January 20, 1899, came to serve as their first director
and teacher; and with his wife, Sadie R. Graham, he conducted the first courses of the Academy, beginning
provisionally in a rented house in Las Tunas, province of Santa Fe. In the early years of school, no grades of
instruction and a defined curriculum were established. Teachers were limited to only one or two.10 The first course
offered was the preparation for missionaries dedicated to the distribution of evangelistic publications. Soon after that,
teacher A. T. from Learsy, who taught everything about the Bible and other matters, joined them. The first six
students were: Diriwachter, Streuli, Rostan, Hammerly, Guerin, and Peverini. This first course ended on March 17,
and then teachers and students set out for a period to put their studies into practice.11

Academy History, with an Emphasis on Events and Time Periods
The second course began on June 20 with 29 students, ranging from 7 to 30 years old. In the afternoon, the activities
of the primary school were held, and in the morning the activities of the secondary school took place with 10 students.
The teaching included: language, mathematics, music, hygiene, and sacred history. Meanwhile, in Entre Rios, the
first 80,000 bricks were being transported to the school.12
On July 22 and 23, 1899, there was a general meeting of Adventists in Las Tunas chaired by Pastor Westphal.
There, the final decision was made to move the school to the province of Camarero, which is nowadays called Entre

Rios.13 And on October 17, the construction of the first building began, and its builder was Pedro Peverini. However,
this buidling does not exist anymore. The original building of the Camarero Academy, built in 1900, had six parts and
served all uses. In this way, in 1900, the institution that began in Las Tunas moved to Camarero14 and later, in 1907,
changed its name to River Plate Adventist Academy (Colegio Adventista del Plata or CAP).15 Classes began on April
18, 1900, with 15 students and ended on September 20 with 23.16 basic knowledge of the Bible, History, Geography,
Music,
17
        Physiology, and Hygiene were taught. The teachers of the institution were Nelson Town and James A. Leland.

In 1901, a donation of 500 copies of the book Christ’s Object Lessons by Ellen G. White arrived from The United
States to be sold and pay off debts. In 1902, Robert Habenicht joined the medical mission, and he became the
founder of the River Plate Adventist Sanitarium and taught physiology, hygiene, and vocal music at the Camarero
Academy.18 In 1904, the first graduates were sent as missionaries to Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. By 1904, the
curriculum was already more defined, and students were separated by their age. Camarero Academy was also the
birthplace of important institutions such as the South American Publishing House Association and Alimentos Granix.
In 1905, another project was completed at the school: the printing press. That year, the first issue of the Present Truth
was published, but then it was moved to Florida in 1906.19
In 1908, there were 86 students and eight school masters and teachers. The new principal Walton John Brown
reorganized the curriculum with six grades in primary and four in the secondary level. Later it was called “Missionary
Course” and led to the Organization of Missionary Society. An additional 30 were acquired for the school during its
administration.20 In 1909, Ellen White donated 264 copies of the book Lecciones prácticas del Gran Maestro (
Christ’s Object Lessons) to subsidize the construction of school buildings.21 That year, the three-year nursing course
for the River Plate Adventist Sanitarium began at the school, including complementary courses in cooking,
hydrotherapy, and massages.22 Still, in the same year, a new building (nowadays a music school) was inaugurated,
with two floors of 15x15 meters, with classrooms and offices for the administration, part of which served as a hall of
public acts and a chapel for 21 years.
In 1909, the “Missionary Course” with a specialty in Bible and History began, and enrollment increased to 124
students.23 Years later, in 1912, the first graduation of the High School and the Nursing School that continued to
operate in the neighboring Sanitarium was carried out. Since 1912, travel was facilitated with the creation of the
railway between Diamante and Crespo and the establishment of Puiggari station. In addition, the first library was
created in a classroom. And by 1913, the first three students of the Missionary course graduated. Within 1914 and
1916, plans were adopted to formalize primary school courses. The female boarding school with a kitchen and dining
room was inaugurated in 1915. In 1917, the envisaged plan of the five-year course of missionary nurses began.
By 1920, the academy offered four courses: Magisterium, Secretariat, Theology, and Biblical Instruction.24 The
review, La Voz del Colegio [The Voice of the Academy], began its publishing in 1923 with Hugo P. Beskow as first
director. The first school building was used as a male dormitory until the new male’s boarding school began to be
used in 1922. By 1924, the denominational status of tertiary educational institution was received, and a construction
program was started that led to a growth from six to twenty-five buildings. The institution went on to develop other
industries, such as a bakery, carpentry, and car construction.25 In 1926, two more years of study were added to the
courses mentioned at the beginning. In 1927, extraordinary improvements were made to the farm, including cows
were bought and a model tambo26 was erected, that received various awards and recognitions.27 The corn flakes
manufactured at the school received the name, “Granix,” and in 1935, the production of corn flakes moved to Florida,
Buenos Aires, to start the factory food Granix.28
In the 1940s, the organization evaluated the possibility of moving the school to Pilar, province of Buenos Aires, and
even Uruguay. But the original location prevailed, despite isolation and bad roads.29 In 1946, the construction of the
temple of CAP was completed with 1,000 seats,30 known today as the Hall of the Pioneers. In addition, in the same
year, the seven-year primary school and the five-year secondary school (officially recognized in 1945) were
established, continuing with two years of Higher Education. In 1948 the primary school building was inaugurated, and
the library occupied the former chapel of the Germans.31
In 1954, the theological course was reorganized, adding another year of studies and the so-called Theological
Pavilion, which included the previous science building. It was erected in 1958, a building that, with various parts,
continues in use (for other university careers). In 1959, the Theology career was extended to four years. In the Spring
of that year, the Pathfinders Club32 (one of the first of the South Union, presently the Argentina Union) was created at
CAP, which had Elvira W. Schmidt as their principal. On October 26, 1960, its activities began as a club and was led
by its director, Lucas Shulz. On July 21, 1962, the Dogs Club (now the Adventurers) and Sentinel Club (presently
Major Guides) began.
In 1961, the dining room was opened to replace the previous one that existed in the boarding school for young ladies.
In 1962, the Theology and Education College began. In 1964, CAP lifted its characteristic entrance portico.33 In 1967,
the Institute of Correspondence Studies began operating with 100 students from the country and abroad. In the same
year, teachers of pedagogy and philosophy, as well as economic sciences, began, and it received official
accreditation two years later. The following year, in 1968, the 70th anniversary of CAP was celebrated and, until that
time, the Academy had already prepared 1,000 workers working in different parts of the world.34 In the same year, the
second male boarding school was begun, and 11 years later, the female boarding school was completed, and it had a
capacity of 200 female students.35
At the beginning of the 1970s, the academic offer of CAP consisted of: Faculty of Economic Sciences (four years with
official title), Professorship Pedagogy (four years with official title), Teacher Elementary (two years with an official

title), Secretariat Administration (two years with an official title that was achieved the following year), Theology (four
years with possibilities for further combined studies with the faculty or more advanced study).36
In 1971, an auditorium/gym of 2,870 m2 (82 x 35 meters) began to be built, which would have the capacity for 3,500
people. Then, just after the diamond jubilee (75 years) of CAP in 1973, the Institution had 200 students at the tertiary
level and the following units: Higher Institute of Theology (offered B.A. in Theology, B.A. in Religion, and High School
Seminarian) and the Higher Institute of Teacher Training (with College of Economics, Technical, Secretarial,
Teaching Primary, and Secretarial Commercial).37 As early as 1974, the auditorium was opened as was the previous
library. This auditorium was later used as a meeting hall for the University Church meetings (1994-2011). And in
1976, a new building was built for the D. F. Elementary School. Sarmiento.
In 1977, after 10 years of operation, the Institute of Correspondence Studies had reached 1,355 students enrolled.
However, they provided academic services only until the 1990s, when gradually it was replaced by new attempts at
distance education with new technologies.38 In 1979, the Board of Directors of the South American Division organized
the Latin American Adventist Seminary of Theology (Seminario Adventista Latinoamericano de Teologia or SALT),
which included five theological schools of the higher schools in its territory. The Theology Department of CAP offered
careers not officially recognized by the National Ministry of Education although they were accredited by the SDA
Church. SALT has been integrated into the Association of Seminaries and Theological Institutions of Southern Cone
(ASIT) based in Buenos Aires. Further, another important moment at this time was the inauguration of the historical-
theological Documentation Center “Ellen G. White,” on September 9, 1979, a contribution to the formation of CAP
educational community and for future SALT students.39 In the future, the White Center would move from the
administration building to Fernando Chaij building.
The achievements since the 1980s, including the administration building, the classroom building, and the 2,833 m2
Library, have provided support for teaching and management tasks. At the beginning of 1980, the institution had 500
tertiary students.40 Moreover, with the organization of SALT, from 1980, the theological course joined this institution
so that SALT came to offer the following curriculums: (1) Bible Bachelor Degree, one year; (2) Certificate of
Theological Complementarity for university professionals; (3) Bible Instructor, two years; (4) Four-year Religion
Teacher; (5) Four-year degree in Theology; (6) Four-year Bachelor Degree in Religion; (7) Master's degree in
Religion, four years (two months in the summer); and (8) Master's degree in Theology. Then, in January 1981, SALT
graduate classes began being offered at the Argentina headquarters. The first act of SALT degrees occurred in 1984.
41 In 1988, coinciding with the 90th anniversary of CAP, the second graduation of SALT was held, awarding Master’s

degrees in Theology and a Master’s degree in Religion.42
Later, under the direction Emilio Vogel, it was understood that the tertiary formation of CAP attracted fewer and fewer
students and that the financial outlook of the future was dark. For this reason, an internal commission was appointed
to study the feasibility of becoming an university. Juan Carlos Olmedo coordinated the studies, and the new rector,
Carlos Morales, set out to accomplish this task. Accordingly, on October 25, 1989, the Ministry of Education was
given the request for the creation of the River Plate Adventist University. The “River Plate Adventist University
project” was elevated to the National Directorate of Universities of the Ministry of Education and Justice of the nation.
43 Architect Federico Sharp was the technical manager of the project.

Thus, on November 27,1990, the Minister of Education of the Nation, Prof. Antonio Salonia, by Ministerial Resolution
no. 2241/90 of December 7, 1990, created the River Plate Adventist University. The inaugurating ceremony was held
on the December 15th, 1990, chaired by the governor of Entre Rios, Dr. Jorge Pedro Busti, and the national Minister
of Education. Since then, River Plate Adventist Academy has been called The River Plate Adventist University, and
the chairman of the Board of Directors of the UAP was the president of the South Union of the SDA Church, Dr.
Ruben Pereyra, and the first Rector of the UAP was the Lic. Carlos Morales. It should be remembered that the UAP
was the first non-Catholic confessional University in Argentina Republic and offered 12 tertiary-level courses and
postgraduate courses.44
Once established as a University, the UAP began its provisional operation with four faculties: Theology, Humanities,
Economic Sciences, and Health Sciences. A new one would be added in the future: Agro-Food Sciences.45 In 1991,
the College of Health Sciences began its operation with the authorization to start careers in the area of Nutrition,
Kinesiology, and Nursing. However, only the nursing career was dictated.
In 1992, a hotel was bought to best serve the housing needs of teachers, students, and visitors. Furthermore, the
building of the dean’s office and other facilities for the College of Health Sciences are noteworthy. The Fernando
Chaij Building includes the E. I. Mohr Library, The David Ryhs Museum, The Technology Center for Self-Learning,
the White Research Center, and the Raúl Cesán Auditorium. The medical and bachelor’s degree in Information
Systems began to be taught in 1994 and, in 2002, the UAP obtained definitive national accreditation from the
Argentine government. Years later, other careers were added to the College of Health Sciences, such as Nutrition,
Kinesiology, and Odontology. Similarly, the College of Economics and Administration also added an engineering
career in Information Systems.
Another breakthrough that occurred at the UAP took place on November 1, 2013, with the inauguration of the new
Theology Building next to the temple complex of the UAP. The building has five classrooms equipped with excellent
technological resources and air conditioning plus a multipurpose room.46 The Pastoral District of the UAP serves the
following congregations: The Church of the University, The Church of Victoria, the isolated members of Cerro Pajonal
,and Rincón del Doll. The UAP Church currently has 1,593 members.
Similarly, the modern food factory Ceapé was launched with a building of 5,500 square meters. Apart from these

completions on campus, mention could also be made of the heated swimming pool and Physical Education Complex,
the tutoring building, the prayer garden, and the Adventist Historic Center, which opened in 2017.
With regard to scientific development, the Publications Secretariat and the UAP Secretariat for Science and
Technology have been carrying out important work to promote research and publications. Thus, River Plate Adventist
University Publishing is a member of the network of publishers of private universities and, until 2018, the number of
its publications had surpassed 170 titles of books and several scholarly journals. Among them, the Journal Enfoques [
Approaches], launched in 1976, continued as an academic publication of the UAP in 1992, and since 2001, the UAP
participates in the publication of the journal Estudios en Educación [Studies in Education]. Likewise, the College of
Theology launched a biannual biblical-theological journal called Davar Logos in 2002,47 and the UAP Center for
Studies in Law and Religion has published the journal Derecho, Estado y Religión [Law, State and Religion] since
2017.
Medical care at this knowledge center is provided through a mobile health unit and is located close to the River Plate
Adventist Sanitarium. Communication is facilitated by Student FM Radio 104.3, which turned 25 in 2018 and reaches
a vast surrounding region. Also, food production has the brand “Ceapé” that produces breakfast cereals, soy
products, grain, and bread.
Careers offered in the UAP are listed in part as: (a) Graduate School: Master’s in Theology, Doctorate in Theology;
(b) the College of Theology: College Bible Instructor, Bachelor of Theology; (c) the College of Economic Sciences
and Administration: Executive Assistant, Public Accountant, Degree in Management, in Systems Engineering; (d) the
College of Health Sciences: Bachelor of Nursing, Bachelor of Kinesiology and Physiatry, Bachelor’s degree in
Nutrition, Medicine, Odontology; (e) the College of Humanities, Education, and Social Sciences: Social
Communication, Bachelor’s in Social Communication, Bachelor’s in Psychology, College of Education Sciences,
College of Physical Education, College of English, University Teaching Staff, Sworn Translation English-speaking
Audience.
The Adventist Institute of River Plate (College level) offers: Biology, Music, and Arts Professorship, with a specialty in
Music, Teachers of Initial Education, and Teachers of Primary Education. The Language School provides a Spanish
course for newcomers. The Secretariat extension administers a pre-university course. The UAP participates in the
Adventist Colleges Abroad (ACA) plan, and academically, it has obtained the highest national accreditation of the
medical career. It also obtained the highest accreditation at the national level of the master’s and doctorate degrees
in Theology, being the only non-Catholic degrees accredited in the country.
In infrastructure, these are also noteworthy: (a) The inauguration of the University Temple, with capacity for 2,500
people.48 The new temple of the UAP was opened on May 18 and 19, 2012, with the presence of the president of the
General Conference, Pastor Ted Wilson, and representatives of the South American Division and many other
ecclesiastical fields. (B) The inauguration of the new building for the Faculty of Theology in 2013. (C) The
inauguration of the Interdisciplinary Health Simulation Centre (CHS) of 600 m2 (the largest center in the country) in
2013. (d) The inauguration of the new breakfast cereal plant, with 500 m2 and a production capacity of 700 tons per
month as well as the inauguration of the Mobile Health Unit and the creation of the Interdisciplinary Center for Health
Science Practices. The UAP received the title of First “Healthy University” from the National Ministry of Health.49 Also,
in this university arose and was developed the project "I Will Go" as a sign of the engagement of the students who
are projected to the world, with impact at the level of the Argentina Union and South American Division, and finally,
the creation of the project: "Adopt a Country.”50

Historical Role of the School
From 1909 to 1924, there was the so-called “Missionary Society”, with training meetings at the UAP. Its members
moved to neighboring localities, distributed publications, gave Bible studies and evangelizing meetings, visited
prisons, and preached in churches. The “Sociedad Misionera Pastoral” [Pastoral Missionary Society] (SMP) was
organized in 1924, with practice meetings, special programs, and missionary outings to surrounding cities. The SMP
led the spiritual and missionary life of the institution’s student body.
Within 1935 and 1972, there was the “Missionary Students Society” (SEM), which (since 1956) had a Publishing
Department. In 1973, the “Misión Estudiantil del Plata” [River Plate Student Mission] (MEP) emerged, an organization
that continues to be active. The model followed the pattern of Adventist missions around the world. MEP was the only
missionary structure and included students from River Plate Adventist Higher Institute and the School of Nursing. The
agency had a van, a bus and other minor vehicles for the transport of missionary teams, as well as a fully equipped
inflatable tent with which important evangelizing campaigns were carried out (in 2010 a new tent was purchased, with
inflatable structure).51
The regular work carried out every weekend in the towns of Entre Ríos and Santa Fe has brought dozens of people
closer to the church each year and has trained hundreds of young people to be better missionaries.52 The choir was
called Armonías del Paraná, then Armonías, and since 1976, the Musicap choir (created in 1973) has been the
official choir,53 an important ambassador for the institution. There was a band in the 1930s, but it ended until the
emergence of the current band in 1979. Musical activity has always had an important role, since choir activity is
present in the early grades. The Mozart Children's Choir, founded in 1957, gathered students from the Domingo F.
Sarmiento School. The bell choir began in 1991.
The creation of River Plate Adventist University, with four colleges, gave additional reasons for the emergence of new

missionary groups, generally called institutes: The “Missionary Institute” of the College of Health Sciences, “I Am
FACEA” of the College of Economic Sciences and Administration (FACEA), and “Mission of Faith” of the College of
Humanities, Education and Social Sciences.
A group of the College of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences students integrates the “Faith Mission” under
the motto “Integration and Service,” among other initiatives. It maintains a picnic area in the town of Puiggari and runs
a dynamic Sabbath School. “Yo soy FACEA” means the FACEA Institute of Missionary students, or it could be
interpreted as “I am FACEA.” It arose in 2008 on the initiative of students with missionary concerns with the support
of the dean of the College. They organized small groups in the UAP and, in the following years, fulfilled their mission
in several localities. They also promoted a successful Sabbath School.
The College of Health Sciences “Instituto Misionero” [Missionary Institute] began in 2003 with the support of the dean.
The first tasks were carried out in localities of Entre Rios. Missionary students organized radio and television
programs, health hikes, quit smoking courses, and lifestyle tips. The impact program "Una sonrisa para..." [A smile
for...], with health posts, and visits to institutions and neighborhoods, was made in several cities. Since 2008, trips
were undertaken to Brazil for a project called “Impact Sao Paulo” in order to offer medical and evangelism in favelas (
neighborhoods) for a week.
In 2010, a “Health Expo” was held for the first time with a tent and a carousel system to perform cardiac prognosis
and teach the eight natural remedies. These exhibitions multiplied. Over time, activities have also diversified. Other
groups, such as Jesus (Hope, Healing, and Salvation), organized in 2004, work within the IM to visit the sick in the
SAP and the elderly in the local geriatrics communities. The Adventist Student Prison Ministry of River Plate carried
out evangelizing service since 2006 with inmates of penal unit no. 6 of Paraná, where they founded a church. Since
2009, Rural Adventist Mission has visited families in rural areas, especially in Costa Grande, by bicycle. Thus, the
“Missionary Institute,” has been working with more than 500 volunteers, including students, teachers, and community
members.
Looking back and seeing that more than 120 years ago, men and women dreamed that, maybe, with a small school
serving local young children in education would come to serve the Lord. Therefore, since its initial foundation, the
UAP has been acting as a faithful missionary institution dedicated to the service of Education, and founded with faith
and courage. These are values were passed on and should continue to be communicated as their pioneers did
through much effort, sacrifice, and the fear of the Lord. They did this so that the UAP would not be only a center of
knowledge, but a place where God has shown to be guiding the lives of everyone who has gone through this
institution.
