Abstract
A pesar de ser este un trabajo que parece estar más relacionado con el componente académico al citar los logros que se alcanzaron en estos años por la Universidad Literaria de Sevilla, se acerca más al político por las vicisitudes por las que pasaron los rectores de la misma. Por un lado muchos de ellos simpatizaron con los partidos políticos de la época, pues el nombramiento de rector era una competencia del ministro de Instrucción Pública y Bellas Artes lo que provocaba las cesantías de los mismos al finalizar cada turno de Gobierno. Además, varios de ellos tuvieron representación en el Ayuntamiento, Diputación provincial y Senado. Por otro, era un cargo a merced de las diferencias de criterio entre las resistencias de los claustros de catedráticos y las consignas de Madrid, influenciados por la Institución Libre de Enseñanza y la Junta de Ampliación de Estudios e Investigaciones Científicas. También estaban relacionados con la presión de las huelgas estudiantiles, algunas de ellas llegaron a ocasionar la dimisión de rectores, gobernadores civiles e incluso ministros del ramo. Lo cierto es que el auge y decadencia de la Universidad a comienzos del siglo XX quedaría reflejado en varios discursos y en el propio proyecto de Autonomía universitaria de 1921, que si bien marcaba el paso hacia la modernidad de la institución resultó efímera. Su revocación al año siguiente solo sirvió para incrementar la desmotivación generalizada con el sistema político de la Restauración, la descomposición de los partidos dinásticos y los últimos caciques, antesala de la Dictadura de Primo de Rivera.

Although this is a work that seems to be more related to the academic component when citing the achievements achieved in these years by the Literary University of Seville, it is closer to the political by the vicisitudes passed by the rectors of it. On the one hand, many of them sympathized with the political parties of the time because the appointment of rector was a competence of the Minister of Public Education and Fine Arts, which caused their resignations at the end of each round of government. In addition, several of them had representation in the City Council, Provincial Council and Senate. On the other hand, it was a post at the mercy of the differences in criteria between the resistance of the professorial cloisters and the slogans of Madrid, influenced by the Free Institution of Education and the Board for the Extension of Scientific Studies and Research. They were also related to the pressure of student strikes, some of which led to resignations by rectors, civil governors and even ministers. It is true that the rise and decline of the University at the beginning of the twentieth century would be reflected in several speeches and in the very project of University Autonomy of 1921, which although marked the step towards modernity of the institution turned out to be ephemeral. Its revocation the following year only served to increase the general demotivation with the political system of the Restoration, the decomposition of the dynastic parties and the last caciques, antesala of the Primo de Rivera dictatorship.
