In 1948, he took the lead in the process of creating the former University of Ceará, now known as UFC. The university was finally established in 1954 and inaugurated in 1955. Until 1967, Martins Filho served as the Chancellor and continued to develop the university's infrastructure, establishing the University Press, acquiring the current Chancellor's Office building and the Casa de José de Alencar, and creating conditions for the university's continued growth.[3]
He retired in 1974 but also founded the State University of Ceará – UECE in 1977 and the Regional University of Cariri – URCA in 1986. He was a member of the National Education Council in the 1960s, remaining on the council for 13 years. He represented Brazil at the OAS in the Latin American Committee for the Evaluation of Scholarship Systems. He contributed to the founding of over 20 Brazilian universities.[4][5][6]
He was the brother of the writer and jurist Fran Martins, one of the most prominent scholars of Commercial Law in Brazil in the 20th century. Fran Martins was a Professor at the Faculty of Law of the Federal University of Ceará and an important member of the modernist movement in Ceará's literature during the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. He had an extensive body of work and was a founding member of the Clã Group.[7]
Martins Filho was admitted to the Order of Military Merit in 1994 as a special Officer by President Itamar Franco. He was promoted to the rank of Commander by Fernando Henrique Cardoso in 2000.[8][9]
He passed away in Fortaleza on December 20, 2002, just two days before his 98th birthday, due to multiple organ failure.
