HISTORY The present Far Eastern University (FEU) is an offshoot of the union of the Institute of Accountancy (founded in 1928 by Dr. Nicanor Reyes) and the Far Eastern College (founded in 1919 by Nicanor Maronilla-Seva, Francisco Africa, Pedro Cortez, Salvador Unson, and Vicente Favella) in the early second quarter of the 1900’s. When Dr. Nicanor Reyes, gained the controlling stock on November 5, 1933, he became its first president. Since then, the site of the once humble cigarette factory turned into an educational institution at the corner of Azcarraga (now Claro M. Recto) and M. Lorenzo (now Quezon Boulevard) Streets and has produced luminaries who had distinguished themselves in business, law, education, fine arts, architecture, engineering, nursing and medicine. Dr. Reyes had envisioned a university with the best facilities to offer a well-rounded education, giving emphasis on the promotion of Philippine art and culture. Since its inception, FEU boasts of cultural and historical vestige. Notable are the works of national artists such as Pablo Antonio, Vicente Manansala, and Francisco “Botong” Francisco that grace FEU’s grounds and buildings. Distinguished also were the artistic performances especially in the 50’s and 60’s in the FEU Auditorium, which where dubbed as the “Cultural Center of the Philippines”. For twenty years, it was the venue for major cultural presentations like the operas La Traviata, Il Trovatore and Carmen. Recently, the establishment of the President’s Committee on Culture has brought a cultural rebirth with its twice-a-month presentations of local and international artists. Modern stage productions necessitated the overhauling of the auditorium with state-of-the-art theatre facilities, including a wide screen and a powerful video and computer projector.
