Decorative Map of FEU

A decorative map situates FEU in the heart of downtown Manila – in particular, the so-called University Belt, which witnesses thousands of Filipino students from all walks of life and from every part of the country attending the many institutions of learning in the area. The street where FEU stands is named after the Spanish writer Miguel Morayta, a supporter of the Propaganda Movement and a professor of National Hero Jose Rizal at the Universidad Central de Madrid. Fittingly, the street was later renamed after Nicanor Reyes, the founder of FEU.

Metaphorically like bookends, appropriate to a seat of learning and wisdom, two main thoroughfares bound the university. To the left is the former Azcarraga, named after a distinguished Spanish family in colonial Manila, while to the right is the major avenue named after the country which had brought Christianity to the Philippines: España. A mere walking distance from FEU is the pontifical university, the University of Santo Tomas, itself named after the doctor of the Church, St. Thomas Aquinas.

A bird’s eye-view provides the geographic site of the various buildings and structures within the FEU campus. The map also bears the bust portrait of founder Nicanor Reyes as well as the portraits of Teodoro Evangelista, president, and Nicanor Reyes, Jr., vice-president, in whose terms the map was designed.
