歴史
大学の創立者はスペインの修道士ミゲル・デ・ベナビデスとされている。彼は1587年に最初のドミニコ会宣教師としてフィリピンに来た。 [2] [3]彼はヌエバ・セゴビアの司教となり、1601年にはマニラの第3代大司教に昇進した。1605年7月26日に死去したベナビデスは、高等教育機関設立の元金として、蔵書と1,500ペソ相当の私財を遺贈した。その2日前、彼は遺言執行者であったドミニコ会の司祭ドミンゴ・デ・ニエバとベルナルド・デ・サンタ・カタリナの前で遺言状を提出した。[4] 1606年6月、ディエゴ・デ・ソリア司教はスペイン国王フェリペ3世に手紙を書き、大学設立の計画を伝えた。彼はまた、スペインのアビラにあるサント・トマス大学と同様の学位を授与する権限を大学に与えるべきだとも付け加えた。 [5] [6]
1609年、大学開設の許可がスペイン国王フェリペ3世に要請されたが、その許可がマニラに届いたのは2年後のことだった。大学は1611年4月28日に設立された。設立証書には、バルタサール・フォート、ベルナルド・ナバロ、フランシスコ・ミナヨの3人が署名した。ベルナルド・デ・サンタ・カタリナはベナビデスの遺志を継ぎ、マニラの城壁都市イントラムロスにあるドミニコ会の教会と修道院の近くに大学用の建物を確保することができた。[7]当局は、サラマンカ大学などのスペインの大学や、メキシコ王立教大学などのスペイン領アメリカの大学を例に挙げ、大学のモデルとなった。 USTは当初、聖ロザリオの聖母マリア大学(Colegio de Nuestra Señora del Santísimo Rosario)と呼ばれていましたが、1619年にドミニコ会の神学者聖トマス・アクィナスに敬意を表してColegio de Santo Tomasに改名されました。1645年11月20日、教皇インノケンティウス10世は教皇勅書In Supereminentiを発行し、Colegio de Santo Tomasを大学に昇格させ、教皇の権威の下に置きました。[8]
1733 年のスペイン国王フェリペ 5 世の勅令と1734 年の教皇クレメンス 12 世の雄牛ドゥダム エマナルントに従って、教会法学部( Facultad de Cánones ) と民法学部( Facultad de Derecho ) が設立されました。[4]
1865年5月20日のスペイン女王イサベル2世の勅令により、USTにすべての中等学校を監督する権限が与えられた。当時唯一の高等教育機関であったUSTは、国の教育省として機能した。[9] [10] 5年後、海外植民地大臣セギスムンド・モレは、サント・トマス王立ポンティフィシア大学をフィリピン王立ポンティフィシア大学に改組する勅令を出した。[11] 1871年、フィリピン政府は医学薬学部 ( Facultad de Medicina y Farmacia ) を設立する勅令を出した。USTは医学の学士号を授与することを許可された。1877年から1901年にかけて、329人の学生が学士号を取得した。ホセ・リサールは1878年から1882年まで同大学で医学を学び、医学予備課程と医学1年目を同時に学ぶという稀有な特権を与えられた。[12]同大学は、1902年に新アメリカ制度下で医学博士号を授与し始めた。[13] [14]
大学は1908年1月13日に、法律1459に基づき非株式非営利教育機関として登録され、法人名はマニラ・サント・トマス大学(Real y Pontificia Universidad de Santo Tomas de Manila)でした。[15]学生数の増加に伴い、ドミニコ会はマニラのサンパロックにあるスルカンヒルズに21.5ヘクタールの土地を与えられ、新しいキャンパスを建設しました。1924年には、女子の入学者を受け入れ始めました。医学と民法を除くすべてのコースと学部が新しいキャンパスに移転し、両学部はイントラムロスに残りました。[7]

第二次世界大戦中、大日本帝国軍はUSTを敵国外国人、主にフィリピン在住のアメリカ人のための収容所に変えた。憲兵隊として知られる秘密警察部隊は、元のイントラムロスのキャンパスを駐屯地と拷問室に変え、1944年に放火して破壊した。3,700人以上の抑留者が解放され、そのうち2,870人はアメリカ人だった。1942年1月から1945年2月11日にダグラス・マッカーサー将軍によって収容所が解放されるまでの37か月間、600人以上が殺されるか、病気や飢えで死亡した。[16] [17] [18]
USTは1785年にスペイン国王カルロス3世から、マニラをイギリス軍から守った同大学の忠誠を称えられ、「ロイヤル」の称号を与えられた。 [19] 1974年、当時のスペイン国王フアン・カルロス1世がUSTを訪れ、法学名誉博士号とロイヤル・パトロンの称号を授与された。これは、スペイン国王カルロス2世が最初のパトロンに任命された1680年に遡る伝統の復活である。 [20] 1974年に夫とともに訪れたスペインのソフィア王妃は、2012年に再訪した。 [21]
1902年、USTはレオ13世教皇が署名した使徒憲章「Quae Mari Sinico」によって正式に教皇大学と宣言されました。教皇大学として、USTは1970年以降4回教皇の訪問を受けており、 1970年にはパウロ6世、 1981年と1995年にはヨハネ・パウロ2世、2015年にはフランシスコが訪問しています。[22] 2011年の400周年記念の年には、ベネディクト16世教皇が特使を派遣し、ビデオメッセージを発信しました。 [23] 1947年、ピウス12世教皇はフィリピン・カトリック大学という愛称を授けました。[22] [24]

UST初のフィリピン人学長はレオナルド・レガスピで、1971年から1977年までUSTに務めた。 1972年にフィリピンで戒厳令が敷かれると、レガスピはマルコス戒厳令に関する省令のガイドラインを発行し、政府によって課された規律を維持するために教職員の協力を求めた。[25] [26] 戒厳令下でも、全国紙がいくつか廃刊になったにもかかわらず、ザ・ヴァルシタリアンは発行を続けた。UST当局はザ・ヴァルシタリアンに対し、反政府感情を表明する記事を掲載しないよう警告したが、同紙は依然として学生たちに独裁政権に抵抗するよう呼びかけていた。[27]文学部学生会は戒厳令が布告されて以来、国内初の正当な学生自治会となった。[28]
サン・カルロス大学は、 USTがフィリピン最古の現存する大学であると認めたが、これに異議を唱えた。USTの設立以来、学術活動が中断されたのは、スペインに対するフィリピン革命中の1898年から1899年と、日本軍占領下の1942年から1945年の2回のみである。2010年12月1日、下院は決議第51号「2011年の創立400周年を記念するサント・トマス大学祝賀決議」を可決した。この決議では、「1611年4月28日にミゲル・デ・ベナビデス大司教によって設立された」ことと、「フィリピンおよびアジアで現存する最古の大学憲章を有する」ことが謳われている。[29] [30]
2023年から2024年の第2学期には、33,407人の学生が大学の学部および大学院プログラムに在籍し、7,250人が基礎教育に在籍していました。[31] [32]
大学の紋章と色
大学で使用された最も古い印章は、USTアーカイブで見つかった試験問題集「Libros de piques」に初めて登場しました。 [33]
1868年から1983年までの大学の紋章は、心臓形の盾の中に描かれている。盾の上には十字架の球と燃える松明を持ったドミニコ会の猟犬が描かれている。真下にはトマス・アクィナスの太陽があり、その光線は紋章全体に広がっている。紋章には3つまたは4つの楕円形が描かれ、それぞれに異なる紋章が描かれている。[34]
1868年から1935年の紋章では、左の楕円形に教皇の紋章が描かれており、これは大学に昇格した使徒的譲歩を象徴している。右の楕円形には、スペイン国王フェリペ4世が大学に与えた保護を示すために1700年から1868年および1834年から1930年に使用されたスペインの紋章に似た紋章が描かれている。中央の楕円形にはドミニコ会の十字架が描かれており、その周囲にはロザリオが置かれ、聖ドミニコの星が冠され、その下には左側にヤシの枝(殉教を表す)、右側に白いユリが描かれている。[34]
印章の内側の下端には大学のラテン語名であるPontificia et Regalis S(ancti) Thomæ Aquinatis Universitas Manilanaが記されている。印章の上部には両側に月桂樹の葉が、下部には金羊毛騎士団の記章に似た襟が付いている。[5] [34]
1935年~1938年、1937年~1946年、1957年~1983年のバージョンは、国の政府に応じて変更されました。1935年~1938年の国章では、スペイン領東インドの国章がフィリピン連邦の国章に置き換えられました。1937年~1946年の国章では、スペイン領東インドを含めるために4つ目の楕円が追加されました。1957年~1983年の国章では、フィリピン連邦の国章がフィリピンの国章に置き換えられました。[35] [34] [36]
2011年6月、新しい紋章が発表されたが、その書体と色の選択のため、ソーシャルメディアで批判的な反応を集めた。ローマ教皇庁がUSTの称号と名前の統一を提案した後、新しい紋章への突然の変更が行われた。大学の理事会は、USTの名前を新しい紋章に含めること、大学の正式名称の一部ではないという理由でRoyalとPontificalの称号を削除することを決定した。[37] [38]物議を醸した紋章は1か月後に改訂された。理事会は以前の紋章に戻し、USTの敬称PontificalとRoyal、および大学名を含めた。[39]
現在の大学の紋章は、ドミニコ十字で四分割された現代フランスの盾に刻まれている。周囲の碑文にはUSTの正式名称「マニラのサント・トマス王立大学」と創立年1611年が刻まれている。シンボルはマリアンブルーの地に刻まれている。大学のアイデンティティガイドラインで公式に定義されている色は、金色と青がそれぞれパントン213Cとパントン298Cである。[40]
炎の舌はUST創立400周年記念のロゴである。UST本館の塔の輪郭とUSTと綴る4つの炎が描かれている。炎の舌は大学の未来を意味し、トラの縞模様を連想させる。卒業生のフランシスコ・ドプロンがデザインした。[41]
キャンパス

USTメインキャンパスはマニラ市内最大の大学です。サンパロック地区のエスパーニャ大通りに位置し、ほぼ正方形の21.5ヘクタールの敷地に広がっています。[43]大学はユニバーシティベルトの一部です。[44] 1927年、ドミニカ共和国の住民がイントラムロスキャンパスが大学の増加する人口に適さないと判断したため、大学は現在のキャンパスに移転しました。[3]
キャンパス内の建物の建築様式は建設時期の影響を受けており、大きな変化が生じている。初期の建物の設計は大学の司祭や教授によって行われ、ルネッサンス・リバイバル、アール・デコ、バウハウス、インターナショナル・スタイルなどのスタイルが使用されていた。サンパロック・キャンパスは世紀の変わり目に大規模な再開発が行われ、24の主要な建物のうち12が2002年から2023年の間に建設された。 [45]ベアト・アンジェリコ・ビル、トーマス・アクィナス研究複合施設、病院の建物など、いくつかの建物は大学の象徴的なシンボルの1つであるUST本館の柱頭と柱頭を採用している。 [46] 7つの建物には、列福されたドミニコ会修道士とドミニコ会の聖人にちなんで名付けられている。[注 1] [47]
キャンパスの中心軸は、世紀の門、ベナビデス広場、ベナビデス記念碑、本館、四百年祭広場、ミゲル・デ・ベナビデス図書館、タン・ヤン・キー学生センター、そして近々オープンするヘンリー・シー・シニアホールで構成されています。[43] 1680年頃に建てられた世紀の門は、イントラムロスの最初のキャンパスへの正面玄関として機能していました。1954年に現在の場所に移されました。[48]司祭で技術者のロケ・ルアーノによって設計された本館は、1924年から1927年にかけて建設されました。キャンパスで最初の建造物であり、かつてはマニラのキロメートルゼロとして機能していました。民法学部、薬学部、理学部、芸術科学博物館、管理事務所が入っています。[49] [50]
キャンパスの北東の象限には、セント・レイモンド・ペニャフォート・ビルと保健・医療棟があります。[43]セント・レイモンド・デ・ペニャフォート・ビルは1955年にインターナショナル・スタイルで建てられ、文学部と商学部が入っています。[51] 1952年に建てられたバウハウス風のサン・マルティン・デ・ポレス・ビルには、医学部と外科部、看護学部、リハビリテーション科学部が入っています。[52] UST病院複合施設は、メインのセント・ヴィンセント・ビル、ベナビデス癌研究所、セント・ジョン・ポール2世ビル、UST病院臨床部門で構成されています。セント・ジョン・ポール2世ビルは2019年に開館し、UST病院の増築部分として機能しています。[53]
北西の象限には、中央神学校、植物園、ベナビデスビル、中央研究所ビル、トーマス・アクィナス研究複合施設(TARC)があります。[43] 1933年に建てられた中央神学校は、フェルナンド・オカンポによってアールデコ様式で設計されました。また、サンティシモ・ロザリオ教区と教会学部もここにあります。[54] [55]植物園は1932年に設立され、フィリピンの植物相と薬用植物を研究する学生にサービスを提供し続けています。[56] [57] TARCには大学院があります。[58]
南西象限には、ブエナベントゥラ・ガルシア・パレデス、OPビル(BGPOP)、プール、UST出版局、ベアト・アンジェリコビル、フットボール場があります。[43] BGPOPはトーマス同窓会センターとしても知られ、旧UST体育館の跡地にあります。[47]旧体育館のアールデコ調のファサードは歴史的意義のために保存されています。ベアト・アンジェリコビルは、1953年に建設された旧USTプレスの跡地にあります。建築学部と美術デザイン学部は、 2003年にロケ・ルアノビルからベアト・アンジェリコビルに移転しました。[59] [60]

南東の象限には、アルフレド・M・ベラヨ会計学部と多階建て駐車場ビル、アルベルトゥス・マグヌスビル、ロケ・ルアーノビル、クアドリセンテニアル・パビリオン複合施設があります。[43]アルベルトゥス・マグヌスビルには教育学部と音楽院があります。工学部があるロケ・ルアーノビルは1952年に建てられ、フリオ・ビクター・ロチャによって設計されました。このビルは、ニーマイヤーに触発されたブリーズ・ソレイユを地元の建物に適用するきっかけとなりました。 [61] [62]クアドリセンテニアル・パビリオンは、 2016年のCNNフィリピン副大統領候補者討論会、2019年の上院議員候補者討論会、2022年の副大統領候補者と大統領候補者の討論会の会場でした。 [63] [64] [65]
祝福された桟橋ジョルジオ・フラッサティビルはメインキャンパスの向かいに位置し、USTリンクブリッジでつながっています。フラッサティビルには、高等学校、情報・コンピュータ科学大学、DOST-TOMASInnoセンター、およびいくつかの管理オフィスが入っています。2019年に完成したこの建物は、23階建てでフィリピンで最も高い教育ビルとなりました。[66]
USTの季節的な洪水問題を緩和するのに役立つ雨水排水システムが2021年に完成した。地下システムは7つの街路ゾーンをカバーし、1125万リットルの水を貯めることができる。 [67] [68] [69]
2022年トーマス・ウェルカム・ウォークの祝賀の一環として、USTの新しいブロック文字とベンガルトラの像がプラザ・マヨールで公開されました。[70] [71]
キャンパスは2011年にフィリピン国立歴史委員会によって国定歴史建造物に指定された。 [72]大学の建造物のうち4つ、すなわち世紀の門、本館、中央神学校、大学のオープンスペースは、国立博物館によって国家文化財に指定された。[73] [74]
サテライトキャンパス

マニラのUSTはサント・トマス大学システムのメインキャンパスであり、このシステムは他の3つの既存キャンパスと、ラグナ州サンタローザに建設予定のUSTキャンパス1つで構成されています。ケソン市のUSTアンジェリカムカレッジとアルバイ州レガスピのサント・トマス大学レガスピ校は2017年にUSTシステムに統合されました。[75] [76]
USTアンジェリカムカレッジは、ケソン市のサントドミンゴ教会敷地内にあります。基礎教育プログラム、自宅学習プログラム、学部プログラムを提供しています。キャンパスは1972年にロジェリオ・アラルコンによってアンジェリカムスクールとして設立されました。学校は1995年に学部課程を提供した後、1996年にアンジェリカムカレッジに名前を変更しました。[77]コミュニケーション、起業家精神、人材管理、情報技術のプログラムを提供しています。[78]
UST-レガスピは、以前はレガスピ・アクィナス大学として知られ、アルバイ州レガスピにあります。ビコル地方最大のカトリック大学で、法律、医学、建築、工学、会計、教員養成、芸術科学の分野でコースを提供しています。大学には独自の病院もあります。[79]
USTジェネラル・サントスはフィリピン南部にある80ヘクタールのキャンパスで、当初は農業と漁業の研究、[80]芸術と人文科学、ビジネスと会計、工学と技術、薬学のプログラムを提供する。[81] [82]大学は1997年に新キャンパスの土地を取得したが、土地の分類問題と地元の政治によって建設は停滞した。[83] [84] 2013年、地元の市議会は大学敷地を農業用地から施設用地に変更することを承認した。[85]新キャンパス設立の第一段階に関する協議と公聴会は2017年に実施された。[86]建設は2018年4月20日に着工し、当時の大学長エルミニオ・ダゴホイが指揮を執った。[87] [88]キャンパスは2024年4月11日に開校した。[89]
USTサンタローザはラグナ州にある40ヘクタールのキャンパスで、理工学の学部課程を提供する。[90]キャンパスは2006年4月19日に着工し、当時の大学長タメルレーン・ラナが指揮し、UST役員で実業家のルシオ・タンが出席した。[91] [92]キャンパスの開発は、政権交代、2009年から2012年にかけての建学四百周年記念、メインキャンパスの建設プロジェクトの優先化により、数年間遅れた。2017年9月10日、当時の大学長エルミニオ・ダゴホイが指揮して2回目の起工式が開催された。[93]キャンパスで最初の建物であるUST–Dr.トニー・タン・カクティオンイノベーションセンターは、2020年12月に開設されました。このセンターは、卒業生でありジョリビーフーズコーポレーションの創設者であるトニー・タン・カクティオンにちなんで名付けられ、インド科学技術省(DOST)-TOMASイノセンターの別館となります。[94]
管理と組織
USTはローマカトリック教会の法律、特に教会法典、使徒憲章 Ex corde Ecclesiae、フィリピンカトリック司教会議によるEx corde Ecclesiaeの適用に関する補足条例、およびフィリピン政府に従って運営されています。[15]
大学当局は、総長、副総長、学長、副学長である。説教師修道会の総長は、当然の大学総長である。 [95] 彼は、教皇庁の承認を得て、大学学長を任命する。[96] [97]フィリピン・ドミニコ管区の総長は、当然の大学副総長である。学長は、大学の最高経営責任者である。[96] [98]彼は、理事会、学術評議会、経済評議会の補佐を受ける。学部長は、教授会と説教師修道会のメンバーである理事の補佐を受けながら、学術部門を率いる。[15]
USTマニラには、19の民間カレッジ、3つの教会カレッジ、3つの基礎教育学校があります。これらは、互いに有機的に相互依存している学術単位です。カレッジは、学術単位が設立された時期に応じて、学部、カレッジ、学校、または研究所と呼ばれることがあります。[15] 民法学部などの学部はスペイン植民地時代に形成され、教育学部や大学院などのカレッジと学校はアメリカ時代から使用されています。研究所は、特定の学部またはカレッジの付属機関または自然に独立したユニットです。付属機関が一定の入学基準に達すると、学部または親カレッジから独立した別のカレッジになります。[99]情報およびコンピューティング科学カレッジは、2014年に工学部から分離したときに研究所として設立されました。2021年にカレッジの地位に昇格しました。[100]
UST中央神学校とUST病院は別々の規則を持っていますが、大学の管轄下にあります。[15]教皇庁大学として、神学部、哲学部、教会法学部、またはUST教会研究学部は、2017年12月8日に教皇フランシスコによって発布された使徒憲章Veritatis gaudiumによっても統治されています。[101]
USTには、中学校、教育学部の実験室として機能する教育高等学校、および高等学校の3つの基礎教育学校があります。[102] UST小学校は、かつてK-12レベルの子供たちに初等教育を提供していましたが、2010年代のある時点でKレベルの入学願書の受付を停止しました。[103]
学術プロフィール
USTは、100を超える学部専門分野で63を超える学部プログラム、3つの専門プログラム、50を超える修士プログラム、20を超える博士プログラムを提供しており、2023-2024年度の第1学期には41,554人の学生が在籍している。[105]工学部は4,239人の新入生を受け入れ、文学部が3,600人でこれに続いた。[31] 2018年には371人の留学生がおり、その大半はアジア諸国からの留学生だった。[106]医学部と外科部の研修病院として機能するUST病院は、21のレジデンシー研修プログラムを提供している。[注 2] [107]大学は2022年に8,131人の卒業生を輩出した。[108]
入学案内
USTは毎年、サント・トマス大学入学試験(USTET)を実施している。[109]結果は、聖トマス・アクィナスの祝日である1月28日に発表される。[110] 2020年と2021年には、国内のCOVID-19の状況により、USTETはUST入学評価(USTAR)に置き換えられた。[111] USTARは、主に申請者の学業記録から得られたいくつかのパラメータを計算するスコアである。[112] [113] [114] 2020年、大学はUSTARに48,411件の申請を受け取り、2021〜2022年度に7,772人の大学新入生を受け入れた。工学部は1,071人の学生で、3年連続で最多の新入生を迎えた。[115] USTETは2022年に再開され、2023〜2024年度に備えた。[116]
USTET は香港、ドーハ、ドバイ、マナマ、マスカット、アルコバール、ジェッダ、リヤドでも実施されています。[117]
医学部と外科学部は、入学プロセスの一環として、医学博士課程の1年目に対して心理検査を別途実施しています。ただし、志願者の受け入れにおいては、学業成績とNMATスコアが最も重視されます。志願者は、GWAスコアが少なくとも2.00 / B + / 86%、NMATスコアが少なくとも85パーセンタイルである必要があります。毎年1,700〜1,900人の志願者のうち、約480人の候補者が受け入れられます。[118] 2021年には入学試験は実施されませんでした。 [119]基礎人間学(LEAPMed)のBSプログラムでは、学部がUST予測スコアリングを使用して、USTET大学志願者の上位200人を絞り込みます。これは、USTETスコアまたはUSTAR評価、LEAPMed試験スコア、およびIQスコアで構成されます。面接と心理検査の後、上位90人の志願者のみが受け入れられます。[120] [121]
民法学部では法務博士課程入学試験も別途実施している。[122] [123]
教員とカリキュラム
2019年現在、USTには2,164人の教員がおり、これは私立大学の中では最多、国内では2番目である。教員は1,160人の修士号取得者(私立大学の中では最大)と333人の博士号取得者で構成されている。[124] [125]
学年は2学期に分かれています。学業成績は5段階の数値評価システムで評価されます。1.00は優秀、3.00は合格、5.00は不合格です。大学のすべての学士号には、カリキュラムに神学コースが含まれています。[15]
COVID-19パンデミックに対応して、大学の授業は2020~2021年度と2021~2022年度に「強化されたバーチャルモード」で実施されました。[126] [127] [128]
医学部と外科学部が提供する医学博士(MD)プログラムは、医学部での3年間の学術指導とUST病院での1年間の臨床実習からなる4年間の大学院学位です。学部は、適切な教育学習シナリオでの教育モデルとして問題解決型学習(PBL)を採用し、最近では、期待される学習成果の達成を重視したカリキュラムである成果に基づく教育(OBE)を採用した、ブレンド型統合アプローチを実施しています。 [129] [130]
民法学部では、法務博士(JD)につながる4年間の専門法学位を提供しています。カリキュラムは、法教育委員会の現在のモデルカリキュラムを反映しています。[131]法学修士(LL.M.)と民法博士(DCL)は、法学大学院で提供されています。[132]
2002年、大学はeラーニングに着手し、 Blackboardを通じてe-LEAP(eラーニングアクセスプログラム)と呼ばれるウェブ強化コースを提供しました。2023年にUSTシステムは学習管理システムとしてCanvasに移行しました。[133]

The university marks events with a variety of ceremonies largely influenced by the Hispano-Filipino Dominican Catholic culture and Philippine culture. This includes the Misa de Apertura and Discurso de Apertura, the Mass and lecture opening the academic year.[256] As one of the oldest traditions in the university, the Discurso began in 1866.[257] The Thomasian Welcome Walk where freshmen pass under the Arch of the Centuries at the start of their education at the university. Part of the welcome events are the in-person orientation called Roarientation for higher education freshmen and Alab (flame) for basic education freshmen. The UST Paskuhan, a series of monthlong campus events, celebrate the significance and value of Christmas. It features reenactments of the Christmas story, a campus-wide banquet, live concerts, and light and pyrotechnic displays.[258]
Just before the solemn investiture ceremonies or graduation, the academic year ends with the campus-wide Baccalaureate Mass, the Ceremony of the Light, and send-off rites that are often held at the grandstand. At the end of the Ceremony of the Light, graduating students turn around to face the cross on top of the UST Main Building to sing the UST Hymn. This gesture of turning around is carried on by students and alumni who watch the UAAP games in other venues. Instead of facing the competing team during the singing of the school hymn, Thomasians in the audience turn around to face the university flag that is waved by the UST Yellow Jackets pep squad at the bleachers. The main event of the closing ceremonies is the graduating students' recessional parade through the Arch of the Centuries, which signifies the culmination of their Thomasian life.[259][260]
Despite the COVID-19 situation in the country, most of the traditional activities such as the Misa de Apertura and Discurso de Apertura, the Thomasian Welcome Walk, Paskuhan, and closing ceremonies continued virtually.[261] The Welcome Walk, ROARientation, and send-off rites, in particular, were streamed live in a Minecraft server.[262][263] In 2022, the university returned to holding these traditional festivities in person. The closing ceremonies for the classes of 2020 to 2022 were held in July, while the Welcome Walk for the classes of 2026 and homecoming rites for the classes of 2024 and 2025 resumed in August.[264][265]
As is customary in many Catholic institutions, activities and traffic within the campus stop at 12:00 and 18:00 PST (GMT+8) for the Angelus and at 15:00 PST for the 3 o'clock Prayer to the Divine Mercy daily.[266]

In the 1960s, the first LGBT organization, Tigresa Royal, was established but was never recognized by the university. In 2013, HUE, a new LGBT organization was established. Like Tigresa Royal, the university also denied HUE's recognition as a university organization.[275] In 2015, the university ordered numerous organizations to take down all rainbow-themed profile pics of its members in social media after the legalization of same-sex marriage in the United States. The order was defied by numerous students of the university, marking the beginning of the UST Rainbow Protest. In July 2016, various student organizations supported the filing of the SOGIE Equality Bill.[276][277] In March 2018, during the passage of the bill, numerous UST student organizations, including UST Hiraya, a feminist organization, backed the bill's passage.[278]
Literature and media
The Varsitarian is the student publication of the university. Established in January 1928 by students from the UST Literary Club led by Jose Villa Panganiban, it is the oldest Catholic newspaper in the Philippines. It is published fortnightly.[279] The lampoon issue is called The Vuisitarian, a portmanteau of buwisit, a Tagalog expression used for unlucky events, and Varsitarian. The publication hosts the annual Inkblots, a national campus journalism fellowship that gathers student journalists, journalism and communication enthusiasts, and media professionals.[280][281] The UST Center for Creative Writing and Literary Studies hosts the National Writers' Workshop annually.[282] The fellows are graduate students and professionals that are selected based on the merits of their submitted works.[283] The Academia is the international bulletin of the university.[284]
The Tiger Media Network, the university's broadcasting arm, produces content through Tiger TV and Tiger Radio with the use of IPTV and the internet.[285] DZST (860 kHz) was an AM radio station owned by the university from 1950 to 1963. The frequency eventually became the DZRV-AM or Radyo Veritas.[286] In 2013, in partnership with Radio Veritas, the university launched the Blessed Pope John Paul II UST–Radio Veritas electronic community board located at the corner of España Boulevard and Lacson Avenue.[287][288]
The USTv Students' Choice Awards was an annual award event that recognized TV programs and personalities that promoted Filipino Christian values.[289]
Greek life
The Faculty of Civil Law and Faculty of Medicine and Surgery had several Greek organizations on campus. But in 2018, following the death of civil law student Horacio Castillo III, the UST Office of Student Affairs suspended the recognition of all fraternities and sororities.[290] Tau Mu Sigma Phi, founded in 1946, is the oldest among the 10 Greek groups in the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery.[291]
Athletics

In 1920, UST and other catholic universities and colleges in Manila organized a sports league called Liga Catolica. Four years later, members of the Liga Catolica organized themselves to form the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).[292][293] UST won its first basketball championship and only NCAA championship in 1930.[294] Two years later, the university seceded from the NCAA and formed the Big 3 League with the University of the Philippines and National University.[295] The Big 3 League and Far Eastern University eventually formed the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) in 1938.[296]
The varsity sports teams, originally called the Glowing Goldies, have since been renamed as the Growling Tigers beginning the 1992–1993 UAAP season. The women's teams are called the Tigresses, while the juniors' (high school) teams are the Tiger Cubs.[297]
