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.

The date was 29 October 1904 when a group of nuns known as Sisters of St Paul of Chartres from France came to Dumaguete on the invitation of Monsignor Frederick Rooker, the Bishop of Jaro Iloilo, another province in the Visayan region, to help in the education of the local townsfolk. It was a very noble task even to this day to render services to a foreign land. This sisters were dedicated to care for the sick and underprivileged. This undertaking was immortalized in this monument located in Rizal Boulevard.
