History
Established in 1974, the IIC is composed of five schools located along Taft Avenue, Malate, Manila, Philippines. To date, it has accomplished a number of projects and activities to maximize the institutional resources among its member schools.
In its over two decades of existence, the consortium has been led by the Board of Responsibles composed of the presidents of the member institutions namely, Adamson University (AdU), De La Salle University (DLSU-Manila), the Philippine Christian University (PCU), St. Scholastica's College (SSC), the Philippine Normal University (PNU), and St. Paul University-Manila (SPUM). Its activities and projects have been implemented by the standing committees through the Council of Liaisons in cooperation with the other members of the consortium.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.”
—Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
“Books of natural history aim commonly to be hasty schedules, or inventories of God’s property, by some clerk. They do not in the least teach the divine view of nature, but the popular view, or rather the popular method of studying nature, and make haste to conduct the persevering pupil only into that dilemma where the professors always dwell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
