INSTITUTO DE FÍSICA TEÓRICA<br />
The existence of IFT till now became possible due to the <strong>de</strong>dication<br />
of <strong>Paulo</strong> <strong>Leal</strong> <strong>Ferreira</strong>, that with the help of his brother Jorge <strong>Leal</strong><br />
<strong>Ferreira</strong> (1928-1995), followed the i<strong>de</strong>al of their father, Eng. José<br />
Hugo <strong>Leal</strong> <strong>Ferreira</strong>.<br />
The i<strong>de</strong>al of Eng. José Hugo <strong>Leal</strong> <strong>Ferreira</strong> was a research<br />
institution <strong>de</strong>dicated to fundamental science, in a time when research<br />
activities are very rare in Brazil. In his words (documented in 1971):<br />
``Os instituidores tiveram por principal escopo realizar duas tarefas<br />
básicas: assegurar, <strong>de</strong> início, a presença <strong>de</strong> cientistas autênticos e <strong>de</strong><br />
alto nível, e organizar o IFT como fundação para <strong>de</strong>sfrutar <strong>de</strong> plena<br />
liberda<strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong> pesquisas e <strong>de</strong> administração, a coberto <strong>de</strong> influências<br />
perturbadoras <strong>de</strong> qualquer natureza e procedência.´´<br />
