The Provisional Government of the First Portuguese Republic issued a proclamation on March 22, 1911, establishing the University of Porto. While the university's forerunners include the Nautical Academy, founded by King Joseph I in 1762, and the Drawing and Sketching Academy, founded by Queen Mary I in 1779, the university was to be primarily based on nineteenth-century higher education institutions, such as the Polytechnic Academy (1836–1911) and the Medical-Surgical Academy of Porto (1836–1911).
