Introduction
The Lyceum of the Philippines University (LPU) (Pamantasang Liseo ng
Pilipinas) is an institute of higher education located in the heart of Intramuros in the City
of Manila, Philippines. It was founded in 1952 by Dr. José P. Laurel, who became the
third president of the Philippines. He named the institution after lykeion, the grove
in ancient Athens where Aristotle taught his pupils. LPU is the only university founded
by a president of the republic. Its educational vision is founded on principles that its
founder, José P. Laurel, set down. It opened its gates to its first students on July 7,
1952.
Two of the building's most prominent features are its entrance through the "Hall
of Heroes", commonly known as "Mabini Hall", which exhibits busts of revered
Philippine historical figures sculpted by the National Artist Guillermo Tolentino; and the
famous "Lyceum Tower" which serves as Lyceum's trademark and stands witness to
the university's history and continuing progress.
Many disciplines are taught in the university, with International
relations (diplomacy, international trade), business, communication and International
Hospitality(hotel and restaurant management, tourism) consistently being the
university's flagship courses.
The LPU System has affiliate campuses in
Makati, Batangas, Laguna and Cavite.
