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:
“A multitude of causes unknown to former times are now acting with a combined force to blunt the discriminating powers of the mind, and unfitting it for all voluntary exertion to reduce it to a state of almost savage torpor.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“I am not willing to be drawn further into the toils. I cannot accede to the acceptance of gifts upon terms which take the educational policy of the university out of the hands of the Trustees and Faculty and permit it to be determined by those who give money.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
