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.

“I was put into jail as I was going to the shoemaker’s to get a shoe which was mended. When I was let out the next morning, I proceeded to finish my errand, and, having put on my mended shoe, joined a huckleberry party, who were impatient to put themselves under my conduct; and in half an hour ... was in the midst of a huckleberry field, on one of our highest hills, two miles off, and then the State was nowhere to be seen.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is well known, that the best productions of the best human intellects, are generally regarded by those intellects as mere immature freshman exercises, wholly worthless in themselves, except as initiatives for entering the great University of God after death.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
