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:
· Lyceum of the Philippines University in Intramuros, Manila (with a separate campus for the College of Law in Makati City);
· Lyceum of the Philippines University, Batangas (formerly known as Lyceum of Batangas) in Batangas City, Batangas;
· Lyceum of the Philippines University - Cavite in General Trias, Cavite;
· Lyceum of the Philippines - Laguna (formerly known as Lyceum Institute of Technology) in Calamba City, Laguna; and,
· Lyceum - St. Cabrini College of Allied Medicine (a joint effort between Lyceum of the Philippines - Laguna and St. Frances Cabrini Medical Center) in Sto. Tomas, Batangas.
The school's motto is Veritas et Fortitudo, Pro Deo et Patria, which means "Truth and Courage, for God and Country". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyceum_of_the_Philippines_University)
