History:
Silliman University was founded on August 28, 1901, making it the oldest
American university in Asia. Originally named Silliman Institute, an elementary
school, it was established by Protestant missionaries of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States and started through a gift from Dr. Horace
Brinsmade Silliman, a retired businessman and philanthropist from Cohoes,
New York. He was an active layman in the Presbyterian Church. The school
was thus named after him.
The school began with 15 male students, four long desks, two tables, and two
chairs. The First President of the University, David Sutherland Hibbard of
Lyndon, Kansas. He has a statue in front of the CAP Building, Rizal Boulevard,
Dumaguete. The first faculty was the Reverend Hibbard and his wife Laura.
From 1901 to 1912, it was a boys school. In 1910, Silliman was given the right
to confer degrees. In 1912, girls were admitted for the first time. In 1938,
Silliman became a university, the first school outside of Manila to be granted
university status.
Campus:
Silliman has a main campus near the center of Dumaguete City, dotted by
large acacia trees. The campus has a land area of 61 hectares. It faces the
sea to the east and its gates are flanked by the portals which are now symbols
of the university.
Dumaguete has earned the distinction of being known as "the center of
learning in the south," or a "university town" due to the presence of these
universities that have made their mark nationally and abroad. The city has
become a melting pot of students, professionals, artists, scholars and the
literati coming from different parts of the country and the world.
Silliman University is the dominant institution of higher learning in
Dumaguete, providing the city with a distinct university town atmosphere. It is
the oldest Protestant university in the country and the oldest American-
established university in Asia. The 610,000 m² campus is adjacent to and
intermixed with the city's downtown district.
