Homenaje Póstumo: Jorge Cavelier Gaviria (1929-2012)

"Ya voces mas autorizadas y elocuentes que la mia han hablado y hablaran de una fi gura que, como pocos, ha grabado un hito en la historia de esta Academia. Yo solo quiero recordar afectuosamente una amistad que nos vinculo por mas de un sexenio de nuestras vidas y comenzo por los claustros “esos si antiguos- de la Javeriana de la calle 10, al lado de la iglesia de San Ignacio. Amistad sincera pero no cercana, cordial pero no intima. Sus verdaderos amigos, bartolinos y no gimnasianos eran en la Facultad de Medicina Alberto Mejia, Eduardo Borda y Eduardo Rodriguez, verdadera guardia pretoriana alrededor de Jorge y de la cual, sobreviven activos y fuertes los dos ultimos. A ellos y otros que veniamos “de Chapinero” “nuestro punto de concentracion y bastion javeriano era el Centro de Practicantes de la 39 con 13- nos les fuimos uniendo con motivo de las conferencias en mimeografo. Alli debiamos tomar el tranvia amarillo que nos dejaba en la carrera 7a. con calle 13, de donde subiamos anhelantes a la casa del Profesor, casi en la esquina de la carrera 4a. donde procediamos a descifrar nuestros cuadernos de apuntes y a preparar los estenciles."
