Biography

His parents were Juan Salomón and Magdalena Osorio. He attended primary education at the Lima Institute and the Conciliar Seminary of Santo Toribio, and secondary education at the Peruvian Convictory. In 1894 he went on to pursue higher education at the National University of San Marcos, where he earned a doctorate in Jurisprudence and received his law degree (1902). He also graduated with a doctorate in Political and Administrative Sciences (1905).^{[citation needed]}

While he was pursuing his university studies, he began publishing poetry in the magazine Letras de Tacna (1896) and in the biweekly La Neblina, directed by José Santos Chocano (1896-1897). He also collaborated in La Gran Revista (1897-1898) and Lima Ilustrada (1899-1900). He also edited La Vanguardia (1898) and translated the drama Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand, for El Modernismo (1900-1901). He was admitted as a member of the Ateneo de Lima.^{[citation needed]}

He also developed an important teaching career: he was a professor at the College of Our Lady of Guadalupe (1905-1908), and a professor of Political Economy and Constitutional Law at the San Marcos faculties of Political and Administrative Sciences and Jurisprudence, respectively (1905-1911).

In his first period as chancellor, he signed with the English representative in Lima, Mr. A. C. Grant Duff, the arbitration protocol for the question of La Brea and Pariñas (May 27, 1921), complying with law No. 3016 of 1918 that ordered that said controversy be submitted to international arbitration.

In 1922, Salomón, who was more sympathetic to Leguía's policies in comparison to other politicians, signed the controversial

By the time the treaty was formally approved by Peru and Colombia, Salomón had already been definitively separated from the command of the chancellery and shortly before, from 1925 to 1927, he had served as legal advisor to the Peruvian delegation that took care of the preparations in Arica for the regional plebiscite, which did not take place. He then became legal advisor to the embassy in Washington, D.C., during the negotiations motivated by the frustrated plebiscite. From 1927 to 1930 he was senator for Junín.^{[citation needed]}

After the fall of Leguía and the ascension of Lieutenant Colonel Luis Miguel Sánchez Cerro in 1930, he went into exile. Years later he returned to Peru and devoted himself to his private life. He was president of the National Association of Writers and Artists (1945-1946).
