Morales went to high school in Liceo Manuel Blanco Encalada in Talca, and went on later to study medicine in Universidad de Chile, where he became a physician. In 1954 he was elected President of the Directory of Members of the newly created Universidad Austral de Chile. He was elected rector of the university the same year and stayed in that position until 1961 when he renounced. He turned 100 in November 2010.[2]
