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:
“Think of the importance of Friendship in the education of men.... It will make a man honest; it will make him a hero; it will make him a saint. It is the state of the just dealing with the just, the magnanimous with the magnanimous, the sincere with the sincere, man with man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Like dreaming, reading performs the prodigious task of carrying us off to other worlds. But reading is not dreaming because books, unlike dreams, are subject to our will: they envelop us in alternative realities only because we give them explicit permission to do so. Books are the dreams we would most like to have, and, like dreams, they have the power to change consciousness, turning sadness to laughter and anxious introspection to the relaxed contemplation of some other time and place.”
—Victor Null, South African educator, psychologist. Lost in a Book: The Psychology of Reading for Pleasure, introduction, Yale University Press (1988)
