Sumario:In May 1973, when the government of Héctor Cámpora appointed Rodolfo Puiggrós as Rector of the University of Buenos Aires, a new university reform was launched under a climate of strong political effervescence. The priest Justino O´Farrell - a prominent figure in the experience of the National Chairs - will assume as dean auditor of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the so-called "National and Popular" University. The present work aims to contribute to a greater knowledge about what were the main measures carried out during his administration and in particular what were the transformations that occurred in the Career of Sociology. As a methodological strategy, various written sources are analyzed –mainly the resolutions of the dean of said faculty and the reform of the 1974 study plan– along with oral testimonies.
