Abstract
In the case study of the Student Federation of Chile summarized here, data was obtained by interviews with leaders and by the study of documents, covering three separate periods in the federation's history. Organization was considered in two complementary ways; as a set of institutionalized value patterns and ideas, and as a collectivity. The results are generalized to other Latin American student organizations. The author suggests new research on such groups, whose role in events such as Castro's Cuban revolution may have far-reaching impact.
