Abstract
In the XX Century two attitudes of the generational type prevail: one, adopted by the Ateneo de la Juventud, shows an enthusiastic interest for the cultural nationalism, and the other assumed by The Generation of 1915, whose members met at the Escuela Nacional Preparatoria was also known as the one of the Seven Wisemen. Its members, Alfonso Caso, Antonio Castro Leal, Manuel Gómez Morín, Vicente Lombardo Toledano, Jesús Moreno Baca, Teófilo Olea y Leyva, and Alberto Vázquez del Mercado, imposed the goal of divulging culture among the students of the National University: concerts, courses, conferences, and round tables were the means to stimulate the intellectual progress of the participants. In Manuel Gómez Morín's essay entitled 1915, but published in 1927, he theorizes and places the foundations, as a summary, on the significance of such a generation, both participant and witness of a new culture.
