THE LYCEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES UNIVERSITY
(LPU) -
60th ANNIVERSARY
The Lyceum of the
Philippines University is an institute of higher education located
in Intramuros, in the
City of Manila. It was founded in 1952 by Dr. José P. Laurel, who
became the third and one of the most acclaimed presidents of the
Philippines. He named the institution after
lykeion,
the grove in ancient Athens where Aristotle taught his pupils. LPU
is the only university founded by a president of the republic. Its
educational vision is founded on principles Dr. José P. Laurel set
down. It opened its gates to its first students on July 7, 1952.
Two of its most prominent
features are its entry point, the "Hall of Heroes" which exhibits
busts of revered Philippine historical figures sculpted by the
National Artist Guillermo Tolentino; and, the famous "Lyceum Tower"
which serves as Lyceum's trademark and stands witness to the
university's history and continuing progress.
The various campuses of
Lyceum include the following:
·
Intramuros, Manila (with a
separate campus for the College of Law in Makati City)
·
Batangas City (formerly known as
Lyceum of Batangas)
·
General Trias,
Cavite;
·
Calamba, Laguna (formerly known as Lyceum Institute of Technology)
·

The school's motto is
Veritas et Fortitudo, Pro Deo et Patria, which means
"Truth and Courage, for God
and Country".
