RAFAEL PALMA CENTENNIAL COMMITTEE Dillman, Quezon City
20 September 1974 REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT PURSUANT TO
ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 238 DATED 13 SEPTEMBER 1974
This Committee was constituted to "consider and recom- mend a University program of activities to commemorate the centenary of the birth of Rafael Palma, fourth president of the University of the philippines, on October 24, 1974."
The Committee, consonant with the President's sug- gestion to "highlight [Palma's] distinguished career as liberal thinker, writer, educator and nationalist and focus attention on his life, career and character for the emulation of our students and fellow-citizens," has con- sidered various ways of doing him honor, taking into account also the very welcome and well-considered sug- gestions made by Rafael Palma Professor of History Teodoro A. Agoncillo in his letter to the President dated 24 August 1974.
Rather than
a
one-day or one-shot observance of Palma's centenary, the Committee inclines to a continuing com- memoration lasting a month at least until the end of November, if not December. This, by way of a minimum round of activities to honor a man of such stature who, but for the lateness of the hour, would normally rate a longer celebration of his many and varied contributions to the nation.Accordingly, the Committee recommends:
1. The repair and renovation of Palma Hall and its grounds, as a condition sine qua non to any commemora- tion worthy of the building's namesake.
The Committee suggests in this connection (a) the pos- sibility of student assistance as part of the YCAP program, e.g., in scraping off the paint from the walls, (b) the necessity of impressing Director Francisco Hi- lario's talents in the cause of the AS surroundings, and (c) the desirability of removing the old, unsightly chairs from under the AS pavilions where they are stored helter-skelter.
2. An exhibit on Palma's life and works, to open Octo- ber 24 at the lobby of Palma Hall with appropriate ceremonies.
The Committee suggests in this regard that (a) Palma's family be invited and (b) a big blown-up picture of Palma be installed in the lobby.
3. A symposium on Palma sometime in November, when the second semester shall have been underway.
Suggested speakers: (a) President Lopez on "Palma as Academician and Administrator," (b) Prof. Agoncillo on "Rafael Palma: A Profile in Integrity and Courage,"
(c) Dean Leopoido Y. Yabes, and (d) Dean Armando J.
Malay.
4. A concert sometime in November.
5. Aspecial issue of the CoUeuian devotedto Palma.
6. An essay contest on "Palma's Legacy to U.P." open to the students, with cash prizes.
7. Issuance of a commemorative 8ta..mp by the Bureau of Posts in Palma's honor, upon representations by Pres- ident Lopez.
Suggested motif: Palma's likeness together with a vintage photograph of the old Palma Hall in Padre Faura.
8. Installation of a bust or bas-relief of Palma. in Palma Hall, like Vinzons' in Vinzons Hall.
9. A popular banquet in Palma's honor sometime in December, involving in particular the "Palma alumni" or the University's graduates during its Molave Period.
10. Publication of a commemorative brochure.
Finally, the Committee suggests that subcommittees be given charge of the above recommendations the soonest, as time is running short.
Parenthetically, the Committee takes this opportunity to underscore the patent need for a permanent committee or office to plan all centenary or anniversary activities in the University way ahead of date, so they are not given to hasty improvisation or makeshift arrangement.

Please be informed that the President of the Philippine•
has approved the request of U.P. President Salvador P.

Bauzon, Chairman of the Department of History. He urged the reopening of the archives to enable scholars to shed light on important phases of the Spanish period through archival investigation.
