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:
“Farewell? a long farewell to all my greatness.
This is the state of man; today he puts forth
The tender leaves of hopes, tomorrow blossoms,
And bears his blushing honors thick upon him:
The third day comes a frost, a killing frost,
And when he thinks, good easy man, full surely
His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root,
And then he falls as I do.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Poetry presents indivisible wholes of human consciousness, modified and ordered by the stringent requirements of form. Prose, aiming at a definite and concrete goal, generally suppresses everything inessential to its purpose; poetry, existing only to exhibit itself as an aesthetic object, aims only at completeness and perfection of form.”
—Richard Harter Fogle, U.S. critic, educator. The Imagery of Keats and Shelley, ch. 1, University of North Carolina Press (1949)
