Profile

The University of Southern Philippines Foundation was founded by men and women who felt the need of establishing a private, non – sectarian educational institution that would offer relatively high standards of instruction within the reach of the average man in the community. These men and women were: Agustin Jereza, a Civil Engineer from the State University of Iowa; Virgilio Gonzales, a doctor of medicine from the University of the Philippines; Miguel Sanson, a practicing attorney; Mrs. Natividad Villa – Albino, a school teacher; Felipe Ouano, Fructouso Ramos, and Hipolito Andrada, businessmen; and Dr. Jose Mirasol, a chemist and a former dean of the Cebu Junior College, then the Cebu branch of the University of the Philippines. Dr. Mirasol served as the first director of the school.

The University of Southern Philippines Foundation was first called Southern Institute at the time it was founded in 1927. In 1959, the stockholders agreed to dissolve the original stock corporation and converted USP into a non-stock, non-profit foundation. In May 28, 1959, it was officially registered with SEC as foundation.

Envisioning the eventual congestion at the Mabini Campus and noting the trend of dispersal among educational institution to the suburbs, the founder, in 1962, established the USP Lahug Campus which located in Salinas Drive. The Lahug Campus is now the main campus of the university. Since then, USPF has grown in leaps and bounds in various fields. It has produced countless champions, achievers and topnotchers as well as professionals who have made USPF as premiere school in central and Southern Visayas. Various USPians have made names in the field of sports and athletics, accountancy, social work and engineering. For 61 years as a university and 83 years as an academic institution, the University of Southern Philippines Foundation has served the nation by producing professionals in different fields of specialization thereby making USPF

Famous quotes containing the words university of, university, southern and/or foundation:

    “It is in the nature of allegory, as opposed to symbolism, to beg the question of absolute reality. The allegorist avails himself of a formal correspondence between “ideas” and “things,” both of which he assumes as given; he need not inquire whether either sphere is “real” or whether, in the final analysis, reality consists in their interaction.”
    —Charles, Jr. Feidelson, U.S. educator, critic. Symbolism and American Literature, ch. 1, University of Chicago Press (1953)

    “The most important function of the university in an age of reason is to protect reason from itself.”
    —Allan Bloom (1930–1992)

    “... as a result of generations of betrayal, it’s nearly impossible for Southern Negroes to trust a Southern white. No matter what he does or what he suffers, a white liberal is never established beyond suspicion in the hearts of the minority.”
    —Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 2, ch. 10 (1962)

    “The Bermudas are said to have been discovered by a Spanish ship of that name which was wrecked on them.... Yet at the very first planting of them with some sixty persons, in 1612, the first governor, the same year, “built and laid the foundation of eight or nine forts.” To be ready, one would say, to entertain the first ship’s company that should be next shipwrecked on to them.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
