-Silliman University was founded on August 28, 1901, making it the oldest American university in Asia. Originally named Silliman Institute, an elementary school, it was established by Protestant missionaries of the Presbyterian Church in the United States and started through a gift from Dr. Horace Brinsmade Silliman, a retired businessman and philanthropist from Cohoes, New York. He was an active layman in the Presbyterian Church. The school was thus named after him. <ref name=wikipedia>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silliman_University] Wikipedia.ORG. Accessed October 2007.</ref>
+*To most Americans from the late 1800, Dumaguete was a name their tongue was to master. It was unfamiliar to them. Even the Philippines, which in that time was recovering from the onslaught of the Spanish-American War, was not on the immediate list for a Presbyterian assignment. However, it took the vision and commitment of a man to flip this around.
-The school began with 15 male students, four long desks, two tables, and two chairs. The First President of the University, David Sutherland Hibbard of Lyndon, Kansas statute is in front of the CAP Building, Rizal Boulevard, Dumaguete. The first faculty was the Reverend Hibbard and his wife Laura. From 1901 to 1912, it was a boys school. In 1910, Silliman was given the right to confer degrees. In 1912, girls were admitted for the first time. In 1938, Silliman became a university, the first school outside of Manila to be granted university status. <ref name="wikipedia"/>
+*The late Dr. Arthur Carson, third Silliman president, composed in his book how a man's powerful resolve to greatly help form Philippine education paved the way for the constitution of Silliman University. This man was Dr. Horace B. Silliman, a retired businessman of the town of Cohoes in New York State.

+*In 1899, Dr. Silliman looked in the office of this Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions together with the certainty the Filipino people would need a new kind of education. To support this, he contributed the first sum of $10,000 toward the founding of the industrial school. Legend has it that the Board Secretary was astonished and also clarified that the Board had just started to look at a mission in the Philippine islands. The Board Secretary believed it would be too early to get a school.

+*However, the visitor persisted. Something had captured his imagination about these islands, and the individuals whom he had never seen and whom he'd never meet.

+*Dr. Silliman had been a busy supporter of schools and colleges. Among such institutions was Hampton Institute of Virginia, and his proposition to the Presbyterian Board was for an industrial school in the Philippines on the Hampton model.
