The 100+ year history of this highly ranked, American-founded university is too complex and deep to cover here. The campus is a beautiful, green respite from he surrounding city and contains fine examples of Eastlake architecture, Art Deco, and Classic architecture - set in a mature, verdant Beaux-Arts style arrangement. Also, unlike many universities, its easy to access at the gates and visitors are not turned away. Worth reading a Wiki article on it that captures the founding in depth, WWII history, and even interesting events from he Marcos era. In the meantime, just enjoy the walk.

Driving there, I got to take in view of the island I've never seen before. It was a clear day and we got to see some of the most beautiful landscapes of the island of Negros (Buglas in the native ati language) that I've ever seen. If you're going via private car, be sure to pull over to the side of the road at least once to take in the view of sloping foothills, valleys, mounds, and lowlands. We started from the city of Bacolod and got up to Canlaon City and had lunch there. Then proceeded along hilly, narrow, windy roads to get to the rice plantation that is the current home of this ancient tree. I read that Siliman University believes that this tree could be over 1000 years old. The roads can be rocky with trenches so if you're taking a sedan vehicle exercise extra caution. We took an AWD vehicle and still took it slow to be considerate of the villagers who walk along the streets, some carrying loads of harvested rice stalks. We visited in 2017, but I can only date this at Dec 2018 at the earliest.

We just happened to be there when they were putting a fresh coat of paint on the inside of the church. It was truly amazing how well preserved the beautiful church is.
