Note 9 — THE COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY OF SANTO TOMAS
Reading edition
Bowring (Visit to the Philippines, p. 194) says of the condition of Santo Tomás: “In the university of St. Thomas there are about a thousand students. The professorships are of theology, the canon and civil law, metaphysics and grammar; but no attention is given to the natural sciences, to the modern languages, nor have any of the educational reforms which have penetrated most of the colleges of Europe and America found their way to the Philippines.” ↑
