THE UNIVERSITY
Brief History
The Mindanao State University was created under Republic

Act 1387 as amended. It was formally organized with the induction
into office of the UP Vice President Antonio Isidro
as the first president of the first public university in Southern
Philippines before Pres. Carlos P. Garcia at Malacañang on
September 1, 1961.
Pres. Garcia signed Proclamation No. 806 which reserved

1,000 hectares out of the Camp Keithley military reservation in
Marawi City some 2,256 feet above sea level overlooking the blue
and serene waters of Lake Lanao. It is located about four kilometers
from downtown Marawi and about forty kilometers from Iligan City.
This proclamation was later enacted into law when Congress ceded
the 1,000-hectare reservation to the University under R.A 3791.
MSU formally opened its first classes on June 13, 1962 with
282 students from all the provinces and cities of Mindanao, Sulu,
Palawan, Visayas and even as far as Luzon. Nine Filipino faculty
members assisted by a group of Peace Corp Volunteers were the
initial teaching force for the Three (3) core colleges: Community
Development, Liberal Arts and Education. Today, MSU has grown
into a multi-campus University System with 17 colleges and degree-
granting units in the Marawi Campus alone, and seven (7) other
autonomous campuses in strategic locations in Mindanao: MSU-
Iligan, MSU-Naawan, MSU-General Santos, MSU-Maguindanao,
MSU-Tawi-Tawi, MSU-Sulu, and MSU-Buug.

HIMNO NG PAMANTASANG MINDANAO
Lyrics: Prof. Angelito G. Flores, Sr.

Music: Lucio San Pedro
Silahis ang katulad mong

Nagsabog ng Liwanag
Ng pag-asa’t hangarin
At pag-unlad.
Ang pook ng Mindanao
Tinanglawa’t pinalad
Nang ikaw’y isilang
Na dakila ang hangad.
Ating ipagkapuri
Itong pamantasan
Ang buhay at pag-ibig
Sa kanya’y iaalay.
Saan man naroroon ay
Bigyang karangalan,
Dakilang paaralan
Pamantasang Mindanao
