the "unwavering watchtower of cultural heritage", which she claimed was achieved without "false patriotism or outrageous chauvinism". Historian Luis M. Díaz responsibilities it for "liberating from its indifference for all things cultural". Playwright Gerard P. Marín noted that he was initially skeptical of the ICP, but that what had taken place -despite being insufficient for a full assessment- had been positive. Painter Miguel Pou considered that it had filled a void in the education of cultural values. Writer René Marqués discussed the difficulties of engaging in "direct and uninterrupted cultural activity" within the government agency with limited budget and personnel, arguing that it was worthy of praise and also assessing that its work was "valuable, of permanent character". Linguist Rubén del
Rosario called the work of the ICP unprecedented in Puerto Rico and evaluated that it had so far avoided politicization or chauvinism, something that he considered worthy of felicitations. Cuban writer Eugenio Florit commented on the ICP's literature, calling it "praise worthy" and stated that work of this kind would "honor any country". Writer Gilberto Concepción de Gracia discussed its "extraordinary work" and the "competence" of Alegría as its director. Architect Santiago Iglesias Jr. assessed that the ICP had coordinated the fine arts and that it "deserve the recognition of all Puerto Rico". Poet Diana Ramírez de Arellano called the promotion of Puerto Rican culture an "unreplacable patriotic work". Historian Adolfo de Hostos credited it with being effective in the diffusion of local history through a number of venues, including the arts and the restoration of Old San Juan. Writer Gustavo Agraít credited Alegría with being able to quell the concerns that emerged when the ICP was created by the government. Architect Carlos R. Sanz called the restoration "gigantic and highly valuable". Writer Emilio J. Pasarell called it a "beginning worthy of praise and promising of a complete task". Writer Juan Martínez Capó considered that the ICP's publishing division was undertaking a work that was overdue in republishing prominent authors. Writer Cesáreo Rosa Nieves emphasized the "deep island roots" of the "nativist efforts" of the ICP, calleing it award-worthy. Wroter Figueroa Barrios considered that the institution was carrying out "services that any government owes to its people". Poet Carmelina Vizcarrondo expressed he faith that the ICP would continue its work within the arts and culture. Spanish linguist Samuel Gili Gaya said that usually cultural institutions took time to produce results, but that somehow the ICP had "surprises with a brilliant harvest" within five years, a sign of the maturity of its collaborators. Writer Luis Hernández Aquino noted that all fields of arts had "been favored" as part of a "wonderful cultural work".
577:). On October 10, 1955, Buitrago proposed Alegría to the role of executive director with the support of Laguerre. Tió and Carrión proposed Nilita Vientós Gastón. Alegría won 5-1, and Muñoz Marín approved it despite having reserves with Alegría's nationalist political ideology, when Tomás Blanco and the governor's own wife, Ines (who had been a teacher for the young archeologist) supported it. On October 23, 1955, the Board of Directors requested a work plan, which was presented the following week covering the first year and a half of operations. Restoration of buildings and objects with cultural, historic and artistic value; preservation of historic and cultural heritage at large, gathering of valuable material; research; promotion and divulgation were the key aspects of the document. For this, the scope was to include anything following the European arrival during the 15th century up to modern times, any cultural manifestation including folklore was relevant. The Board of Directors held frequent reunions during this stage, often bi-weekly. In the fifth, Alegría demanded a cut in his salary, but the board at large declined. Instead, he began investing it back into the ICP. Inter-agencias coordination was discussed, in particular how the Planning Board could be involved in the restoration of Old San Juan, but additional clashes and difficulties were experienced with the Treasury Department, Budget, Personnel and Supply among others. The UPR was also defensive, believing that it was going to lose functions that had so far been controlled by it. Alegría brought members from across the political spectrum to the ICP, but it was the contract of Roberto Beascoechea Lota and Isabel Gutíerrez del Arroyo the ones that caused more trouble, being nationalists while the Gag Law was in full effect. Francisco Espinoza of the Department of Justice interfered, but desisted from pursuing the matter after Alegría proposed that the matter was settled in a court, knowing well that Trías Monge (who had authored the Gag Law as requested, but actually opposed its implementation) was the Secretary of Justice. Marisa Rosado was later brought to work as Alegría's secretary. Alegría began pursuing the acquisition of the Caguana site, which he had failed to accomplish under the UPR. Shortly after he was confirmed in October 1955, Eliseo Combas of

Vicente Géigel Polanco considered that the promotion of cultural fields was "of the upmost quality", also noting Alegría as "hardworking". Painter Rafael Tufiño considered that the ICP's programs were "well intended" and that its artistic grants had been "well oriented". Architect José Firpi said that its restoration of Old San Juan had been "an important contribution that worked as guide for the cultural life of people" and credited it for rescuing "long forgotten values". Writer Emilio S. Belaval assessed that the ICP "met of the humanistic program of institutions of its ", crediting Alegría with creating a balance that was "noble" and did not go as far as "deify culture". Composer Amaury Veray discussed the extent of the cultural centers in promoting music, something that he considered had "transcendental importance in the preservation of the Puerto Rican root." Poet Manuel Joglar Cacho credited Alegría's work for the success of the Congresos de Poesía, calling the ICP itself a "very necessary institution". Writer María Teresa Babín States that the ICP was involved in a "crusade in pro of Puerto Rican nationality securing the future of Puerto Rico within the hispanic orbit of America" and urged the readers to be proud of the Board of Directors. Painter Rafael Ríos Rey noted "appreciated the task" of the ICP. Composer Héctor Campos Parsi called it a reflection "of the inherent greatness of " and gauged its work as "prodigious". Poet Francisco Matos Paoli argued that the "Puerto Rican homeland was in debt" with the ICP and Alegría, closing by saying that "any grateful man should clap".

Morales (the latter two conservationists from San Juan) and others attended the public hearings. Within the PPD, universalist José Arsenio Torres opposed it calling it "of totalitarian tendencies", argued that it was only "going to support a political ideology " and dismissed this type of culture as not "a real problem for the people". Independentist Marcos A. Ramírez Irizarry proposed an amendment, citing concern that "no official interpretation of history or cultural values" would be "imposed" by it. Statehooder Leopoldo Figueroa argued against "culture viewed from perspective", while his partner Luis A. Ferré argued against "static culture", before employing a universalist approach by arguing for the name to be "Puerto Rican Institute of Culture", de-emphasizing local customs. Two days later, the project was sent to the Treasury Commission for the study of its scope. On May 17, 1955, an amended version defined its functions, how the Board of Directors would elect the executive director (who would work for $ 9,600) and a $ 35,000 budget. The project passed with 35 votes in favor and 13 against. The Senate of Puerto Rico approved it on May 25, 1955. During the summer, Muñoz discussed his idea for "Operation Serenity", which he intended to serve as a counterpart to the industrialization process known as "Operation Bootstrap", at Harvard University. On June 21, he signed the creation of the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture into Public Law 89.

Charles E. Peterson said that he "believed an outstanding success" product of a "comprehensive and well-thought-out program". Catholic cardinal Luis Aponte Martínez provided "a testimony of admiration and gratitude" to the ICP and Alegría for the work done on historic religious sites at San Juan and San Germán. Inés
Mendoza, former teacher of Alegría and wife to governor Muñoz Marín, claimed that the ICP had salvaged the national and cultural heritage of Puerto Rico and brought forth an artistic and cultural renaissance, crediting the director for this success. Archeologist Irving Rouse wrote that the ICP had "achieved more than any other country that visited and that its work is of the highest quality". Edward P. Alexander of the Colonial Williamsburg site noted that while the work was based on "its authenticity based on historical and archeological research", it also kept San Juan a living city with great cultural relevance", also crediting the "broad programs of your Institute of Puerto Rican Culture kind of cultural entrepreneurship" with making "Puerto Rico a delightful place in which to live of visit". Henry Allen Moe of the New York State Historical Association credited Alegría with "pre-eminence in the field of cultural activities, including museums".

Orinoco region. He also continued directing the ICP's magazine. The AFAC had a duplicity of several of the ICP's functions, but its direct connection to the governor benefited the new entity and weakened the latter. The initiative had been pushed by Ferré from the Senate of Puerto Rico, who had invited Alegría to draft it. The former director declined and attended the hearings to argue against it, joining an opposition that was highlighted by the Comité Pro-Defensa de la Cultura Puertorriqueña and had been protesting outside the Capitolio, arguing that it was a de facto attempt to repeal "the law that created the institute". From within the ICP, only Héctor Campos Parsi argued in favor, leading to distancing and public critics from the other members. Executive director Luis Rodríguez Morales requested amendments. An elderly Muñoz Marín used the debilitation of the ICP as a weapon to criticize the PNP administration and claimed that if left unsupervised, they would "destroy its accomplishments". The laws were passed in May 1980, prompting Rodríguez Morales to quit. Romero Barceló named nuclear physicist

and Ramírez fell in line. Ferré continued his opposition, wanting to name it "Puerto Rican
Institute of Culture", de-emphasizing the local culture. Figures like José Arsenio Torres also expressed skepticism about the possibility of it serving to promote nationalism. Historically, the PNP opposed the ICP, which they considered a "breeding ground for radicals". A belief that Alegría countered by noting how artists tended to believe in independence even before joining and that figures like José Oliver, Walter Murray Chiesa and Aurelio Tió were statehooders. In private correspondence, Antonio Colorado argued in favor of Ricardo Alegría for the office of executive secretary, feeling that he didn't care for compliments and would perform an efficient job, besides possessing the track record. Alegría argued in favor of Tomás Blanco, but the latter declined due to previous differences with Muñoz Marín. In the process, Muñoz Marín consulted figures like Arturo Morales Carrión to create a "general plan" to pursue several cultural proposals (among them, the restoration of Old San Juan).

In 1956, the cultural center program integrated pre-existing institutions, which received funds exchange for cultural work. Established in 1957, the cultural diffusion program created a method for the cultural centers to act autonomously in regards to initiatives that originated in their vicinity rather than depend on directions from San Juan. Other programs, like the Ballets of San Juan, were also sponsored.The 1955 budget was $ 35,000. During the early years, the budget was limited to the point that Alegría would occasionally work without being paid and had to repurpose the kitchen as his office and request funds for air conditioning. During his stay, he didn't ask for a raise and declined offers. Likewise, he used the same office for advisers Tomás Blanco and Lidio Cruz Monclova, both of whom lashed against each other upon learning of this. Artists also clashed among themselves.A grants program was established for investigation and studies.

The latter would once claim that Fomento viewed the ICP as "trying to cling to roots that were related to the black man, to the Indian, with creole things. Which to some was mediocre, third rate." The rivalry between organization became so evident that César Andreu Iglesias wrote a satirical "what-if" piece postulating what would have if they changed seats. The ICP mingled within the fringes of Fomento's jurisdiction, fostering and promoting typical restaurants and other establishments as part of Alegría's vision of a "Puerto Rican-flavored tourism". The ICP freely collaborated with other government entities, such as DIVEDCO, through graphic arts initiatives.

After being elected governor, the functionary discussed the issue again in 1953, trying to separate it from the political issue, and arguing about being selective about what should be adopted from American culture. In the days that followed the Spanish-American War, there had been a decline in the condition of historic buildings as well as an increase in consumerism. On November 18, 1954, Arnold Miles presented a "program" (formally named The Preservation of the Cultural Heritage of Puerto Rico) to preserve "the cultural heritage of Puerto Rico", asserting that it had "been neglected" under the American flag. He proposed the creation of the Commonwealth Trust for Historical Preservation. Muñoz responded by congratulating Miles for the report, which was then discussed in anticipation of a legislative project.

noted that the ICP had fulfilled initiatives that had been unsuccessfully proposed to the Junta de
Planificación concerning the restoration of Old San Juan. Politician Luis A. Ferré congratulated Alegría for a "magnificent work". Actress Mona Marti emphasized the theater festival as an example of how that field had been advanced by the institution. Writer José Agustín Balseiro noted the struggles that took place in order to restore Old San Juan and praises the work done with popular art. Argentinian professor Aurelio Tanodi said that he was "impressed" with the work done at Old San Juan, which he called a rare sight in the Americas. Poet Juan Antonio Corretjer argued that Alegría's formation was responsible for the work accomplished so far, all the while criticizing the management of the historic buildings prior to the creation of the ICP and expressing concern that as long as sovereignty rested in foreign hands it could be undone. The curator of the

A law allowing for the expropriation of private collections/historic documents for public display and/or preservation was assigned to then Secretary of Justice Trías Monge, with the intention of keeping it in Puerto Rico and prevent it from falling into the hands of foreign collectors. Alegría analyzed foreign laws to this effect, including countries from throughout the hemisphere. Carrión proposed following the example of the Casa de la Cultura Ecuatorian in terms of scope, but with autonomy from the central government. He collaborated with representative Jorge Font Saldaña in the first legislative draft. The new institution was going to be solely focused in the investigation, preservation and promotion of culture, distancing it from being a university.

initiatives were held to raise awareness of these. That year, Alegría himself opposed the creation of what he considered "artificial work posts", which were usually used in other agencies to accommodate political sympathizers, citing that doing so would reduce the institute's prestige. In 1957, the
Advisory Commission of Publications was established, leading to the creation of the Biblioteca Popular and the republishing of the life's work of several local authors, new works, and promoting illustration initiatives. That year, the historical parks and museums program began, tasked with facilitating the establishment of museums, historical and archeological parks. The restoration of Fuerte San Jerónimo (which hosted a museum of Puerto Rican military history in 1962) and of Porta Coeli (which hosted a religious history museum in 1961) began during this time. A "rolling museum" also served to carry exhibitions elsewhere.

However, the board refused to accept it and figures like Nilita Vientós, Noel Colón Martínez, Gilberto Concepción and Inés Mendoza rallied behind him, along a number of mayors and cultural centers. Within the statehood movement, Genarín Cautiño, Aurelio Tió and Carlos A. Pesquera Reyes supported him. Carlos E. Chardón wrote to José M. Hernández Matos of the ICP's Cultural Promotion Program suggesting that Alegría should stay long enough to finish his ongoing work. Eventually, Ferré reached a compromise with the ICP to secure better funding. Alegría remained in his office and worked on restoring La Fortaleza's internal decoration, but not without requesting the release from jail of Puerto Rican nationalists.

In order to keep the ICP independent of politics, orders were given not to ask affiliation, donate or even cooperate with legal investigations if the motives were deemed political. Regardless of political influence, any individual would only be contracted if there was an opening in the pre-existing structure. Muñoz Marín's wife, Inés Mendoza, had been a teacher to a young Alegría and supported several of his initiatives, also allowing a relaxed access for him to La Fortaleza. Under Alegría, work activities would also include a cultural element, such as being held at Caguana. Alegría would initially help employees in debt, leading to the creation of the Urayoán Credit and Savings Cooperative.

The Celebration of Puerto Rican Music began this year, becoming an annual celebration, featuring a number of competitions involving native instruments and displays of genres like plena and danza. The ICP's Cords Orquesta was also established. That year, Rafael Rivera García noted that he would no longer publicly criticize the ICP, believing that his previous concerns about the philosophical direction were unwarranted.

He resented that being forced to spend most of his time doing paperwork for the Office of the Comptroller of Puerto Rico was limiting what the ICP could do. The governor initially resisted his resignation, but eventually accepted it. The personnel of the ICP was surprised by the decision.

The entity clashed with the Corporación de Renovación Urbana y de Viviendas over the fate of La Perla. While the latter proposed constructing a public housing project to relocate the residents, the ICP proposed building an urbanization at La Puntilla for them and then turning the zone into a park. Neither project advanced, and despite the houses at La Puntilla being built, they were instead sold to middle class families to the ire of Alegría.

By 1960, the budget had increased to $ 421,500 by the legislature. The next year the board attended the Treasury Commissions of the legislature, citing that the budget was insufficient to contrast specialized personnel or even competing with other government agencies. A raise for Alegría was proposed, despite his personal opposition.

Despite Ferré's apparent support to continue his work at Ponce and the creation of a special committee that gave active participation to the ICP in that process, Alegría faced constant pressure to leave his office. Other clashes included, Carlos Romero Barceló attempt to get rid of a building that was halfway restored, Dos Zaguantes, which the ICP acquired with a loan from the bank of Fomento. The ICP, however, was able to preserve its fiscal autonomy and secure funds. Between March and April 1970, the ICP presented a version of

He also argued in favor of more autonomy for the ICP, removing the need for a governor appointment, expanding the board and giving space to the Ateneo and other culinary institutions to name members.

Furthermore, this was influenced by Alegría's interest to turn San Juan into more than "a purely touristic zone" and restore its residential value. In 1961, activities were held to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the ICP, which introduced the award of gold medals to figures within culture (a ceremony later held every 5 years). That same year, Alegría denounced before the PPD's youth organization of Río Piedras that the UPR under Benítez had "ignored Puerto Rican culture". The
