	Talk:National Autonomous University of Mexico - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Saint Mark National University may not be the oldest in newly spanish conquered territories during the 16 th century, but it has been the only university on this continent (america) to have been since its stablishment in continuously operation without any kind of interrumption since the 16th century until nowadays.
		However, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (National University of San Marcos) in Lima, Peru, was founded on May 12, 1551, and opened on January 2, 1553, according to its official webpage [2], which would mean that the statement in this article that UNAM was the first university in America is not true.
		The same applies for the statement that UNAM is the oldest university in the Western Hemisphere, in the List of oldest universities in continuous operation.

	Mexican University System
		The national university has produced many of Mexico's most distinguished scholars, artists and leaders, including the three most recent presidents, all of whom served as faculty members of UNAM before embarking on political careers.

		In fact, many observers of the system have argued that one important social value fulfilled by state subsidized higher education in Mexico, quite apart from the educational, is simply to act as a sink for the young and energetic population as it comes to terms with the social realities and difficulties of Mexico.
