Title:
Rizal Hall East Side Facing Villamor Hall (now SC Old Building—Taft Ave.)
Date Created:
1937
Description:
Rizal Hall remains to be the only remaining building occupied by UP. Before wartime, it was home to the Botany and Zoology laboratories. As described by UP alumna Teodora Tiglao in her pre-World War II memoirs of UP, it was in Rizal Hall where she could hear music from the Conservatory of Music, and where festivities such as the annual Cadena de Amor took place in the nearby quadrangle, with the Seniors passing the chain of responsibility to the Juniors as a culminating activity of the Woman's Club and the beginning of the Commencement Week (Tiglao, 1991). The statues represented the different colleges of the University of the Philippines. The one at the left was the statue for Forestry while the one at the right was for Veterinary Medicine. Unfortunately, these were destroyed during the war.
