INSTITUTO DE FÍSICA TEÓRICA<br />
We should note that these people were not physicists, or even engaged in research activities.<br />
Eng. José Hugo <strong>Leal</strong> <strong>Ferreira</strong>, Lauro Monteiro da Cruz, Henrique B. D.<br />
Teixeira Lott, and others that follow the same i<strong>de</strong>al, like Samuel Ribeiro (that ma<strong>de</strong> a<br />
donation for the IFT original instalation), José Reis (a member of the Board of IFT for about<br />
20 years), and Francisco Luiz Ribeiro (lawyer) had just the patriotism and the clear<br />
perception of the necessity to <strong>de</strong>velop fundamental research in a institution outsi<strong>de</strong> of the<br />
conventional university structure existent in Brasil at that time.<br />
The time was the same of the creation of the CBPF, the Brazilian Center for Physics Research,<br />
by J. Leite Lopes, J. Tiomno and others in Rio <strong>de</strong> Janeiro. CBPF was also created un<strong>de</strong>r the<br />
same perception, as a research institution, in<strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>nt of any existent University structure.<br />
