Accessed 1 October 2008.</ref>
UST-Legazpi, despite its name, is an autonomous university, separate from the [[University of Santo Tomas]] in [[Manila]].
==History==
===Foundation===
Legazpi Junior Colleges, the forerunner of Aquinas University of Legazpi, was founded on June 8, 1948 by a Basque, Don Buenaventura de Erquiaga (April 24, 1896 – October 22, 1959). From the onset till 1965, Buenaventura was assisted by a succession of presidents: Ramon C. Fernandez (1948–1957) and Bienvenido N. Santos (1957–1958); then after he resigned to join the faculty of the Iowa State University, by Margarito M. Delgado (ca. 1961-1963), and Dr. Manuel Lacuesta (ca. 1963-1965).<ref name="AQuinas University 2008">AQuinas University [http://www.aq.edu.ph/]. Accessed 1 October 2008.</ref>
In 1952, its name was changed to Legazpi College. The educational institution offered elementary, secondary, vocational, tertiary and graduate curricula. Its science laboratory was considered as one of the best in the entire [[Bicol Region]]. An Institute of Research was founded to conduct experiments on local plants’ problems and the possibilities of developing local resources particularly the coconut and [[abaca]] products for industrial use. In the decades to come, these pioneering research efforts would move into production.<ref name="AQuinas University 2008" />
===Transition===
On July 1, 1965, the administration of Legazpi College was passed on to the Dominican Fathers. Rev. Fr. Ramon C. Salinas, O.P., became the College's first Rector. [[Classrooms]] and [[library]] space were increased to meet the needs of a growing population: enrollment in the College of Business Administration increased by 20 percent; College of Education by 27 percent; and College of Engineering by 18 percent. In 1967, the College of Nursing was opened. On March 7, 1966, the College Administrators, local and regional luminaries and guests witnessed the laying of the cornerstone of Legazpi College's first building in an expansive 32 hectare site in Rawis, some two kilometers from the old campus at the Legazpi Port District. By 1968 three new buildings were completed.<ref name="AQuinas University 2008" />
===Elevation===
There was a period of rapid increase in the number of enrollees, new course offerings, sprouting of new buildings in a new expansive campus, capped by the elevation of status of the college to full-fledged University, the first [[Catholic]] educational institution to earn the status in this part of [[Luzon]]. On March 8, 1968, the Secretary of Education, Hon. Carlos P. Romulo, elevated the College to the status of a [[University]]. On August 30, 1968, Hon. Onofre D. Corpus, acting Secretary of Education, signed the University Charter. Legazpi College became known as Aquinas University of Legazpi. The investiture of the first Rector and President of the new University, Father Salinas, was held on February 3, 1969, amidst pageantry and color, attended by local, national, and foreign dignitaries. Father Salinas was Rector of Legazpi College from 1965 until the college was elevated to University status. Six Rectors and Presidents succeeded him: Rev. Fr. Dr. Manuel T. Piñon, O.P. (1978–1984); Rev. Fr. Dr. Pedro V. Salgado, O.P. (1985–1988); Rev. Fr. Dr. Patricio A. Apa, O.P. (1988–1992); Rev. Fr. Dr. Orlando C. Aceron, O.P. (1992–1995); Rev. Fr. Dr. Virgilio A. Ojoy, O.P. (1995–1999); and Rev. Fr. Dr. Ramonclaro G. Mendez, O.P. (1999–2011, three terms).<ref name="AQuinas University 2008" />
The University soon earned the recognition as the center of learning in Southern [[Luzon]], chosen as one of the five Regional Science Teaching Centers in the Philippines by the Science Education Program of the Philippines with the assistance of the National Science Development Board, the [[UNICEF]], and the Science Education Center of the University of the Philippines.<ref name="AQuinas University 2008" />
The Aquinas University Bureau of Small Scale Industries opened in 1973 the short-term, non-degree ladder-type course on Abacacraft Technology and Management. The course is offered to train selected out-of-school youth the necessary skills for the handicraft industry in the [[Bicol Region]]. The Bureau reopened on February 5, 1977 at the Plaza Arcade building in Peñaranda St., Legazpi City.<ref name="AQuinas University 2008" />
In 1975, Aquinas University acquired Legazpi Medical Center. The name of the medical center was changed to Aquinas University Hospital (now UST-Legazpi Hospital) <ref name="AQuinas University 2008" />
Aquinas University joined numerous national and international federations of colleges and universities such as the Philippine Association of Graduate Education, Association of Catholic Universities of the Philippines (ACUP), Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines (CEAP), and the International Federation of Catholic Universities (IFCU). The University is also a member of the International Council of the Universities of St. Thomas Aquinas ([[ICUSTA]]); the Association of Southeast and East Asian Catholic Colleges and Universities (ASEACCU).<ref name="AQuinas University 2008" />
The Commission on Higher Education ([[Commission on Higher Education (Philippines)|CHED]]) named the University as one of the country's Center of Excellence in Teacher Education in 1996.<ref name="AQuinas University 2008" />
===Expansion===
While the administration of Fr. Salinas saw the laying of cornerstones of the three main buildings in the Rawis Campus, the term of Fr. Mendez witnessed more buildings constructed: a permanent convent for the St. Raymund of Peñafort, the AQ Chapel, and the cavernous AQ Dome. The [[Daragang Magayon]] Hall was transferred to a more spacious, air-conditioned, venue. Classrooms were added and laboratories were upgraded. [[Engineering]], [[Architecture]], and [[Fine Arts]] classes are now held in a new building, the two-storey Fra Angelico. Since its acquisition in 1975, the ''Aquinas University Hospital'' has served as the base hospital of the University's college of [[Nursing]], the recent vertical expansion of which altered the skyline of the Albay District and provided the most up-to-date holistic care to its patients. <ref name="AQuinas University 2008" />
''Aquinas University Integrated Schools'' or AQUI (secondary level) has two curricula, one for ''Science High School'' (SHS), and the other for the ''Special Program in the Arts'' (SPA). The University's Professional Schools comprise the College of [[Law]], Graduate School, and the Center for Continuing [[Education]]. The College of Business Management and Accountancy; College of [[Arts]], [[Sciences]] and [[Education]]; College of [[Engineering]], [[Architecture]] and [[Fine Arts]]; and College of [[Health Sciences]] comprise the University's tertiary level.<ref name="AQuinas University 2008" />
The AQ Labor Management Council has been a national finalist in the 2005 Search for Outstanding LMC for Industrial Peace, reflecting the harmonious labor-management relations in the University.<ref name="AQuinas University 2008" />
Established in 2002, the Aquinas University Foundation, Inc. (AQFI) has incubated various sustainable enterprises growing and producing indigenous and environment-friendly products, in the process helping reach out and bring employment to people in the rural areas. The AQFI now has about 300 hectares devoted to reestablishing [[abaca]] as a top grosser for Albay and Bikol. The AQFI has also invested in coconut coir production and a system of deriving income from initiated and supported cooperative projects.<ref name="AQuinas University 2008" />
Aquinas University of Legazpi is now not merely confined to the boundaries of its campuses in Rawis and Legazpi Port District and environs. The University has acquired properties to serve its institutional, educational, and development thrusts. "Bahay ni Kuya" in [[Albay]] District is now a Life Coaching and Wellness Center which is a timely response to the periodic calamities that visit the Region. The Kyama Building near the downtown district now houses the AQ Pharmacy, a ‘botika ng bayan’ that dispenses low cost medicine. The Kyama Building also hosts the AQFI. The [[Holy Trinity]] Convent in Sunrise Subdivision houses the Dominican Sisters. The "Bahay ni Julius" in Tagontong, Taysan is being developed for future use. Estates in Banquerohan and Anislag are in the acquisition stage. The AQFI has earmarked these estates as relocation sites for some 800 to 900 families displaced by super typhoon Reming. The University has also reached the southern shores of [[Mindanao]], with a farm in Tagum City and a house in Bajada, Davao City.<ref name="AQuinas University 2008" />
===Integration===
UST Rector Fr. Herminio Dagohoy, O.P. approved the renaming of Aquinas University of Legazpi to '''University of Santo Tomas - Legazpi''' after the decision was made by the UST Council of Regents in December 2016. An application for a change of name is also pending approval with the Securities and Exchange Commission to take effect in Academic Year 2017-18.<ref>http://www.ust.edu.ph/uwide-news/ust-angelicum-qc-formalize-integration</ref>
The old Aquinas University will retain the original composition of its Board of Trustees including administrative and fiscal independence from UST in Manila.

<p>Legazpi Junior Colleges, the forerunner of Aquinas University of Legazpi, was founded on June 8, 1948 by a Basque, Don Buenaventura de Erquiaga (April 24, 1896 – October 22, 1959). From the onset till 1965, Buenaventura was assisted by a succession of presidents: Ramon C. Fernandez (1948–1957) and Bienvenido N. Santos (1957–1958); then after he resigned to join the faculty of the Iowa State University, by Margarito M. Delgado (ca. 1961-1963), and Dr. Manuel Lacuesta (ca. 1963-1965).<sup id="cite_ref-AQuinas_University_2008_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-AQuinas_University_2008-3">[3]</a></sup>
</p><p>In 1952, its name was changed to Legazpi College. The educational institution offered elementary, secondary, vocational, tertiary and graduate curricula. Its science laboratory was considered as one of the best in the entire <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Bicol_Region" title="Bicol Region">Bicol Region</a>. An Institute of Research was founded to conduct experiments on local plants’ problems and the possibilities of developing local resources particularly the coconut and <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Abaca" class="mw-redirect" title="Abaca">abaca</a> products for industrial use. In the decades to come, these pioneering research efforts would move into production.<sup id="cite_ref-AQuinas_University_2008_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-AQuinas_University_2008-3">[3]</a></sup>

<p>On July 1, 1965, the administration of Legazpi College was passed on to the Dominican Fathers. Rev. Fr. Ramon C.

In 1967, the College of Nursing was opened. On March 7, 1966, the College Administrators, local and regional luminaries and guests witnessed the laying of the cornerstone of Legazpi College's first building in an expansive 32 hectare site in Rawis, some two kilometers from the old campus at the Legazpi Port District.
