  • Overview

The University started as the Catarman Farm School in 1908 through the effort of Governor Clodualdo Lucero. He proposed and sought the approval of the Provincial Board for the establishment of the school. Its first principal was Washington Wiren of Maine State College and Felipe Cevallos, PhD was its first Filipino principal. [1]

The CFS was later named the Catarman Agricultural School, which was proposed by Representative Pedro Mendiola of Catarman raising its status to Insular Provincial, making it the Catarman Agricultural High School. In 1951, however, Representative Agripino Escareal of Bobon proposed and succeeded in changing the school's name to Catarman National Agricultural High School. [1]

On June 14, 1957, six years after the establishment of CNAHS, Congressman Eladio Balite of Bobon, with the help of the Samar solons, took the initiative of converting CNAHS to Samar Institute of Technology through RA 1434. Lieutenant Colonel Emeterio Asinas was the first and only president of the Institute. It was in his term that the Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Chapel (which houses the University chaplain) and the UEP Centre for Culture and Pageantry (commonly known RAB Amphitheatre) were founded. [1]

The Veterinary Medicine Building, Science Building, extensions of the Farm Shop and Machinery Building, the Brackish Water fishpond, former College of Education Building, and the University Research Center were among the completed projects prior to his retirement in 1976. [1]

The University of Eastern Philippines takes pride and honor for being the lone comprehensive and the biggest state university in the entire Eastern Visayas region, catering to the human resources and socio-economic development of its service area through the years. As an old but dynamic institution of higher learning, it has gone through significant stages of development until it finally attained a university status and became one of the nationally known higher education institutions in the country. [1]

In response to the pressing need for manpower development necessary for the upliftment of the socio-economic condition of the service area, on June 20, 1964, RA 4126 was signed into law, converting SIT into the University of Eastern Philippines with the mandate to "primarily give technical and professional training, advanced instruction in literature, philosophy, the sciences and the arts, besides providing for the promotion of scientific and technological researches." The elevation of the school to a university status has, in fact, paved the way towards dramatic increase in its academic, research, and extension programs as well as the creation of additional colleges, institutes, centres, and offices. [1]

While the University has fairly succeeded in meeting its goals and objectives for the past years, via its existing programs, projects, and activities, it shall remain a potent partner not only in human resource development but also in bringing about better living conditions among the underprivileged sector of society.
