Eastern University dates
back to the founding of the Institute of Accountancy in 1928 by a group of eminent
educators led by Dr. Nicanor Reyes Sr., then head of the Department of Economics
of the University of the Philippines. With Dr. Reyes were Dr. Francisco Dalupan,
Professor Antonio Aquino, Emmanuel Deymek and Clemente Uson, well-known educators
from the UP Department of Economics.The
Institute of Accountancy initially offered a three-year non-degree program designed
to meet the minimum requirements for the certified public accountant examination.
In response to the needs of the times, the Institute soon branched out to other
fields of study, business administration, economics, banking and finance. One
year after its founding, the school became the Institute of Accounts, Business
and Finance (IABF). Earlier,
in 1919, the Far Eastern College which offered courses in the liberal arts, ws
founded in Quiapo. In 1933, the two schools, the IABF and the Far Eastern College,
were fused into what is now the Far Eastern University (FEU).To
strike out a distinctive identiy if the field of education, FEU designated its
colleges units as institutes. Thus, Far Eastern College became the Institute of
Arts and Sciences, while the Institute of Accounts, Business and Finance retained
its name. In 1934, the Institute of Law was established, two years later, the
Institute of Technology was incorporated. FEU
officially became a member of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines
(UAAP) on September 27, 1938. Since then, FEU has enjoyed sterling achievements
from its athletes. FEU has taken the championships in basketball, athletics, baseball,
volleyball, swimming, tennis, softball and football tournaments. FEU has contributed
athletes not only to national and professional teams, but to Asian teams and the
Olympics as well.In
its support of the UAAP athletes, FEU continues to provide them with scholarships,
cash and non-cash benefits, and the best training and facilities. FEU continues
to provide programs that promote the spirit of sportsmanship among its students.Related
