Adolfo de Hostos: Fifth Historian of Puerto Rico:
Perhaps of all the historians of Puerto Rico, the one who is easiest to
remember is Don Adolfo de Hostos, son of the illustrious hero Don Eugenio Maria de Hostos. Don Adolfo was appointed Historian of Puerto Rico in January 1936 by Governor Blanton Winship. The historiographical work of Don Adolfo de Hostos preceeds in some respects his appointment as Puerto Rico's Historian. In 1922 participated in the International Congress of Americanists held in Rio de Janeiro. In 1929 he was appointed Academic corresponding to the Academy of History of Cuba and the same year was elected Vice President of the Section of History of the Athenaeum (el Ateneo). A year later served as Secretary of the Commission for the Conservation of Historical Values.
