CELEBRATING MILESTONES, EXPANDING HORIZONS by Fr. Dionisio M. Miranda, SVD
(Following is the speech delivered by Fr. Dionisio M. Miranda, SVD, University President, on the occasion of the unveiling of the logo celebrating the 75th year of SVD missionary service at the University of San Carlos, on Monday, 1 March 2010, at the Ayala Activity Centre, Cebu City.)
Time is not only a measure; it is a dimension; it is a history; it is a perspective. For the University of San Carlos 2010 is a milestone. Institutionally USC began as a grammar school, evolved into a college-seminary, and finally ended as a university. The school saw various personalities come and go, mostly religious, such as the Jesuits, the Dominicans, the Vincentians, and the SVD, always under the guidance of the Archbishop and in partnership with his clergy. It was silent observer to critical periods in Cebu history, such as the Spanish evangelization, conciliar reform, the Philippine Revolution, the American administration, World War II, independence, martial law and the outburst of People Power. With so many disparate events and personalities, places and institutions coming together the mind struggles to find a focal point to lend coherence to the whole, as a thread to a narrative.
