This article deals with making higher education oficial in Paraná. It highlights Plínio Tourinho’s attitude when defending free higher education in 1950, during the process of federalizing the University of Paraná. This article reconstitutes his story: he was against nationalizing higher education as can be seen in the interview he gave at the investigation on federalization. This can also be seen in his academic works which approach the debates as well as the policies on higher education in Brazil. This analysis shows that Plínio Tourinho was contrary to federalizing the University of Paraná, whilst maintaining his defense of the continuation and the expansion of state subsidies, establishing a view of private education which strongly resonated in the history of Brazilian education.
