The Cavite State University (Filipino: Pamantasang Estado ng Kabite), formerly known as Don Severino (delas Alas) Agricultural College (DSAC), is a premier university in the province of Cavite. It was established by the Thomasites as a pioneer intermediate school in 1906. Located just 30 kilometers south of Manila in the Philippines, its first teachers were Thomasites, recruited from the United States Armed Forces. By virtue of the Republic Act No. 8468, the college was converted into Cavite State University on January 22, 1998.

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or university:
“Adjoining a refreshment stand ... is a small frame ice house ... with a whitewashed advertisement on its brown front stating, simply, “Ice. Glory to Jesus.” The proprietor of the establishment is a religious man who has seized the opportunity to broadcast his business and his faith at the same time.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Television ... helps blur the distinction between framed and unframed reality. Whereas going to the movies necessarily entails leaving one’s ordinary surroundings, soap operas are in fact spatially inseparable from the rest of one’s life. In homes where television is on most of the time, they are also temporally integrated into one’s “real” life and, unlike the experience of going out in the evening to see a show, may not even interrupt its regular flow.”
—Eviatar Zerubavel, U.S. sociologist, educator. The Fine Line: Making Distinctions in Everyday Life, ch. 5, University of Chicago Press (1991)
