Founded in 1611, the Royal, Pontifical and Catholic University has been providing Christian education and moral values to aspiring Filipino youth, including foreign students, who are hungry for knowledge, not only for many years but for four hundred years. Many of its illustrious alumni who have moved on have shared their chosen profession and contributed back to the school by way of scholarship foundations and monetary support. Others have gone abroad to pursue their dreams and to achieve their life-long goals. Some of these alumni, if not most, are coming back home for the quadricentennial celebration, reconnecting with their classmates and professors "who may still be living", reminiscing with them many wonderful memories and souvenirs of the past.
Plaza Mayor
So different now but more than 60 years ago it was a Japanese concentration camp for American prisoners of war.

Quadricentennial Square
Inside the Main Building
The stairway to education - 4-5 years of hurried steps to be on time in the classroom.
School corridor that's still alive with hopes and dreams 
UST Chapel
Where many students prayed for God's blessing and favors like not get a failed subject! One failed subject and you're kicked out!
These illustrious alumni all arrived from the United States to join in the Q celebration of their beloved alma mater.
