Formation of human resources for scientific investigation started some decades ago in Argentinean universities as an unavoidable activity for the continuity of teaching and investigation career. The objective of this historical revision was to know the beginnings of the scientific-disciple relationship, as well as the results consequent to such association. Starting from the XVII Century, disciples such as Ham, van Swieten, Auenbrugger, Schlemm, Langerhans, Ranvier, Sandström, Bernstein, Guérin, Allen, Price, Bertram, Huxley, Varela and Best, among others, stand out for their discoveries. Initial achievements of these young men, sometimes resembling their tutors, as well as their ulterior consolidation as a distinguished scientific, are described. It is concluded that the formation of human resources started from the beginnings of the "normal science" and that its multiplying effect is highly beneficial on behalf of knowledge. The risky character of the disciple's admission, as well as the imperfect system of tutor's valuation -privileging quantity rather than quality of the disciplines- are emphasized.
