Naming Conventions
During the growth and restructuring of the state systems, names such as University of the Philippines have changed their meanings over time.
- In these three cases, the unqualified name has become the official name of the multi-campus system that includes the campus which is the original bearer of the name. Examples include:
- University of the Philippines - Its flagship campus in Diliman, Quezon City is better called U.P. Diliman, rather than U.P. The latter refers to the University of the Philippines System.
- University of Rizal System - Its main campus in Tanay is better called URS-Tanay Main than simply URS.
- Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - Its main campus in Bacnotan, La Union is better called DMMMSU-North La Union than simply DMMMSU.
- Mindanao State University - Mindanao State University (commonly referred to as MSU Main) is a public coeducational institution of higher education and research university located in the Islamic City of Marawi, Philippines. Founded in 1961 it is the flagship and the largest campus of the Mindanao State University System.
- In other cases, the unqualified name remains the official name of an individual main campus which is now part of a larger system. Examples include:
- Polytechnic University of the Philippines.
- Western Mindanao State University.

Famous quotes containing the words naming and/or conventions:
“The night is itself sleep
And what goes on in it, the naming of the wind,
Our notes to each other, always repeated, always the same.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Art, it seems to me, should simplify. That, indeed, is very nearly the whole of the higher artistic process; finding what conventions of form and what detail one can do without and yet preserve the spirit of the whole—so that all that one has suppressed and cut away is there to the reader’s consciousness as much as if it were in type on the page.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
