With the inception of the UST Publishing House, we inaugurate this year with a series of monographs - special academic treatises to serve as one of the vehicles of the University's commitment to share the truth by disseminating knowledge and information to its publics. This monograph, Marcelo H. del Pilar in Santo Tomas, the first in the series, comes out at a most propitious time; this year the country commemorates the hero's death centennial and celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Philippine Revolution. Written by well-known Dominican historian and archivist Fidel Villarroel, the learned treatise was reprinted by the 1996 issue of Unitas, the quarterly journal of the University of Santo Tomas. Fr. Villarroel's written account of one of the country's famous heroes and one of the UST's foremost alumni discloses previously unknown information about his formative years, secondary training, in Letran College, collegiate studies in philosophy and law in UST, and eventually his graduate studies in jurisprudence in the same University. Fr. Villarroel further comes up with a very revealing finding on Del Pilar as a writer and journalist as culled form the fortnighhtly La the hero's most forceful and destructive tirades were addressed not against his friar professors nor against his Alma Mater but against the friar parish priests, whom he considered the long arm of the colonial government and the main obstacle to the reforms sought by the Propaganda Movement.
