De La Salle University (Tagalog: ''Pamantasang De La Salle'') (also referred to as DLSU or La Salle) is a Roman Catholic, Lasallian research university in Taft Avenue, Malate, Manila, Philippines. It was founded in 1911 by De La Salle Brothers as the De La Salle College in Paco, Manila with Blimond Pierre serving as its first director.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= General Information )〕 The college moved on September 1921 to its present location to facilitate increase in enrollment. DLSU, granted university status on February 1975, is the oldest constituent of De La Salle Philippines (DLSP), a network of 17 Lasallian institutions established in 2006 to replace the De La Salle University System.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 College history )〕 The university started as a boys' elementary and high school. It started offering in 1920 a two-year Associate in Arts in Commerce programme, which was later discontinued in 1931 in favour of a Bachelor of Science in Commerce programme.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 History )〕〔 DLSU currently offers coeducational undergraduate and graduate degree programmes through its seven colleges and one school specializing in varied disciplines, including business, engineering and liberal arts. The university, currently under the administration of President Raymundo Suplido FSC, is a member of several international university associations (including the ASEAN University Network and International Association of Universities) as well as local organizations (such as the South Manila Inter-Institutional Consortium).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=De La Salle University )〕 DLSU is identified by the Philippine Commission on Higher Education (CHED) as a "Center of Excellence" in six of its programmes, and a "Center of Development" in 3 of its programmes. The university is also among the 40 institutions granted autonomous status by CHED as of 2010. Likewise, it is the first of the only two institutions granted the highest-level accreditation (Level IV) by the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU).〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 PAASCU awards DLSU Level IV status )〕 The university ranks 151-160th and 601-650th in the 2013 Asian University Rankings and 2013 World University Rankings, respectively, published by Quacquarelli Symonds. Research is mainly funded by the De La Salle University Science Foundation.〔 Since 2000, DLSU has been the CHED Zonal Research Center for 10 cities in southern Metro Manila.〔 As such, it evaluates research proposals for recommendation for CHED funding, and monitoring of CHED-funded researches, among others.〔 DLSU research has focused on affective computing and renewable energy. Application of its research has resulted in the electrification of remote areas in the country through the use of micro hydro generators,〔 and the creation of both of the only two solar cars of the Philippines, ''SINAG''〔 and ''SIKAT''.〔 DLSU has three official student publications, including the ''Ang Pahayagang Plaridel'', ''The LaSallian'' (a student newspaper) and Green & White, the university yearbook publication.〔 The De La Salle University Chorale has won several awards from different international choir competitions,〔〔 including the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod〔〔 and Tampere Vocal Music Festival.〔 It is a member of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines since 1986,〔 and has formed rivalries with other universities, including the Ateneo de Manila University and University of Santo Tomas. People affiliated with the De La Salle University include one National Artist of the Philippines, Archbishops of Manila and prominent politicians, educators, scientists, business tycoons, singers, actors, TV personalities and the field of communication and public service. ==History== (詳細はManila Archbishop Jeremiah James Harty. Harty believed that the establishment of a La Salle school in Manila is instrumental in preempting the spread of Protestantism in the Philippines through the arrival of the Thomasites and Protestant American churches missions. His request would be later endorsed in 1907 by the Pope Pius X. An envoy of Lasallian Brothers arrived in 1910. Together with Harty, the Brothers searched for a suitable campus. A property in Paco, Manila was purchased for this purpose.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 The founding (1911–1920): Prologue: A Harty Request )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「De La Salle University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
