Sol Luis Descartes

Sol Luis Descartes

Sol Luis Descartes served as Puerto Rico's Secretary of the Treasury during the administration of Governor Luis Muñoz Marín in the 1950's.

After his career in public service, Descartes served as president of the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico.

After supporting the status quo as a member of Puerto Rico's Popular Democratic Party for many decades, in the 1970's his sympathies for statehood became apparent and he became active in the Puerto Rico Statehood Commission headed by then Rep. José Granados between 1981 and 1986.

His archives were donated to the Center for Historical Research or Centro de Investigaciones Históricas (CIH) of the University of Puerto Rico at Río Piedras.
